I am getting the following crash for a lot of users :
Fatal Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke interface method 'java.util.Set java.util.Map.keySet()' on a null object reference
at com.google.android.gms.internal.zzbtn.zza(Unknown Source)

at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:587)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:818)
I searched through external libraries and found that the source of crash is firebase-config library in the following class zzbtn(see method - zza()).

This class is used in FirebaseRemoteConfig class (see method zzt()) as given below :
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/e6f23c1dc37bf905a9224d8b72ab6cd9
And I am using FirebaseRemoteConfig in my application class as below :
public class MyApp extends MultiDexApplication {
public static boolean sound = true;
private static Context context;
private Typeface regularTypeFace;
private Typeface boldTypeFace;
private final String LOG_TAG = "MyApp";
private FirebaseRemoteConfig remoteConfig = null;
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Fabric.with(this, new Crashlytics());
context = getApplicationContext();
/* Try catch to handle any runtime exception thrown by firebase API */
try {
/* Initialize firebase app : Done to avoid crashes due to IllegalStateException - Default FirebaseApp is not initialized */
FirebaseApp.initializeApp(this);
/* Start to fetch Remote config parameters */
startConfigFetch();
} catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
/**
* Description : Fetches remote config params from firebase & uses the fetched values
*/
public void startConfigFetch() {
/* try to get the default instance of Firebase Remote config */
/* try-catch : To Resolve Crash #1399 */
try {
remoteConfig = FirebaseRemoteConfig.getInstance();
} catch (IllegalStateException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
/* If we don't get an instance of Firebase remote config, then do nothing */
if (remoteConfig == null){
return;
}
FirebaseRemoteConfigSettings remoteConfigSettings = new FirebaseRemoteConfigSettings.Builder()
.setDeveloperModeEnabled(BuildConfig.DEBUG)
.build();
remoteConfig.setConfigSettings(remoteConfigSettings);
remoteConfig.setDefaults(R.xml.remote_config_defaults);
/* Time for which cache lives, for now its 0 ms */
long cacheExpiration = 0;
OnCompleteListener<Void> onCompleteListener = new OnCompleteListener<Void>() {
@Override
public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<Void> task) {
if (task.isSuccessful()) {
if (getContext() != null) {
onFetchConfigSuccess();
}
} else {
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Stories Fetch Fail");
}
}
};
OnFailureListener onFailListener = new OnFailureListener() {
@Override
public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception e) {
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Stories Fetch Fail in remote config");
}
};
remoteConfig.fetch(cacheExpiration).addOnCompleteListener(onCompleteListener).addOnFailureListener(onFailListener);
}
/**
* Called when fetch config is success
* */
private void onFetchConfigSuccess() {
/* Once the config is successfully fetched it must be activated before newly fetched */
/* values are returned (or can be used) */
remoteConfig.activateFetched();
/* Get dynamic stories string */
String dynamicStories = remoteConfig.getString(Common.KEY_DYNAMIC_STORIES_FIREBASE_CONFIG);
/* Get bundled stories (these are app-bundled stories & dynamic stories but part of bundled stories) */
String bundledStories = remoteConfig.getString(Common.KEY_BUNDLED_STORIES_FIREBASE_CONFIG);
/* Do something with dynamicStories & bundledStories values */
}
}

Please help to resolve this crash.
As stated in Kirril Karmizin's comment, it's a known bug since June 2017 (Github Firebase issues). I also received multiple crash reports
Fatal Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.google.android.gms.internal.zzdyx.zzb(Unknown Source)

at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:848)
, with:
- Firebase: 12.0.1
- buildTools: 27.0.3
A probable step in the right direction for those that would want to keep Remote Config in their apps can be found in Official RemoteConfic docs:
You should set in-app default parameter values in the Remote Config object, so that your app behaves predictably before it fetches values from the Remote Config service.
For me, I could not risk more crash reports in a production app. I removed Remote Config and I've seen no crashes until now.
The bug @Ευάγγελος pointed out was fixed in version 15.0.0. However, that version introduced another bug that was also causing NullPointerException. Fortunately, it was quickly fixed in 15.0.2.
