After uploading an app update to Google Play console, I get a pre-launch report for this update showing some testing devices with issues. I believe that report uses the same infrastructure as Firebase Test Lab, so I'm asking here:

One of the issues reported doesn't seem to be one with my app, but with the testing device itself. In the attached video, I see the Robo test on a specific test bumbling about for several minutes with a Share button in my app, always getting stuck on Android's own Sharesheet which is implemented exactly as outlined here (https://developer.android.com/training/sharing/send).

The test device is running a pl_PL locale, so I can't be completely sure, but it looks as if there's a crash whenever the Robo test clicks the Messages app icon on that sharesheet. In any case, Google Play console reports an issue with my app, although the stack trace doesn't show any of my app's components as the cause (start of the stack trace attached below).

Is there any other way for me to report a false positive like this?


stack trace:

After some googling I found this question on Stack Overflow, describing the same issue with prerelease tests on Google Play, down to the exact same resource ID: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70927147/java-lang-runtimeexception-unable-to-start-activity-com-google-android-apps-me

This definitely seems to be something that needs to be fixed on Firebase's end and not by individual developers. Again, on top of getting this one fixed, it would be nice if we could report what we believe to be false positives directly from the Google Play console.
