title: App crash report in Google pre-launch report FATAL EXCEPTION: UserFacing7
body: <p>I am pretty new with releasing Android apps and did get the following error for the &quot;Google Pixel 3&quot; device in the pre-launch report: FATAL EXCEPTION: UserFacing7.</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>Caused by: com.google.android.apps.gsa.tasks.c: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean java.lang.String.equals(java.lang.Object)' on a null object reference</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>I have tried to analyse and recreate this problem but no success. It seems like it is a java related problem and from a Unity context I have no idea how to address and fix this and really need help.</p>
  <p>Interesting is that I have the same application, in another language, released at the same time without any errors.</p>
  <p>Here is the stack trace:</p>
