[Question]: Why is there an issue in intialize or other things from react-native-onesignal saying appId as null value! The app is working fine in previous released version and current debug builds, but having issues in release builds

[rd273001]

How can we help?

Please let me know how to resolve or what can I do to for the below OneSignal errors logged on Crashlytics :-

Hi @rd273001 thanks for reporting these stack-traces.

What version of react-native-onesignal are these crashes reported for?

Crash 1: Crash when adding notification click listener:
When and how are you adding the notification click listener? This trace looks like it is happening on a background thread and SDK initialization may be happening on another thread and not finished?

Crash 2: appId is null
It looks like OneSignal.initialize(appId) is being called with null app ID. Can you confirm you are always passing a valid non-null string app ID to this initialization method?

Crash 3: Unable to destroy activity
Is this the full stacktrace? I don't see any references to OneSignal classes so I don't know where this is originating from. Do you have any more information on this crash?

Hi @nan-li , thanks for replying! Sorry for my late response!

I was using ^5.2.8 and I am getting the app id as well. And YES above was the full stack trace. Still I am getting the error, and Firebase Crashlytics is giving the below error trace :-
