Using RewardedAd.Load() in a Unity instant app causes a crash -since last week

[Clovser Games]

I have a game that's been running stable but since last week, it started to crash. There was no change from my side.

-It is an instant game in Unity.

-Fatal crash happens every time RewardedAd.Load() is called.

-Tried updating the ads, play games, instant Unity packages to the latest published. Problem persists between my initial setup and the updated sdks & Unity version.

The logcat is as follows:

 FATAL EXCEPTION: main

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean android.app.KeyguardManager.isDeviceLocked()' on a null object reference

at com.google.android.gms.ads.omid.library.walking.e.run(:com.google.android.gms.policy_ads_fdr_dynamite@243799214@243799204017.685849251.685849251:615)

Same crash happening - very huge amout of users. Only instant app - seems to be the wrong context which cannot get the KeyguardManager. Started happening from the second half of October. I guess Google Play Games changed the sandbox the instant app is running on or something and KeyguardManager is always null.
