Pixel 4 Android 13, Pixel 4XL Android 13

Not too many unique users but a lot of repeated crashes for the same users.

Hi Max,

Thank you for your response.

Let me share this to the wider team to further check this crashes that is happening in your app. We will update you once we have more information.

[Dan Watling]

FWIW, my team is seeing this same issue within our app. It's isolated to Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL devices running Android 13. No other device experiences this crash. This has affected a couple hundred unique users over the past 90 days.

The link shared above (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/240449675) does indeed describe the issue and claims it is fixed, but there is no information as to where the fix has been applied or when it would be released. If we at least had some insight into that, then that would be something. We are using 21.3.0 of "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-lite".
