Hi @Hitarth27, thank you for reaching out. thank you for reaching out. I tried reproducing the issue however I did not encounter the ANR behavior. Usually it is very difficult to look at ANRs in isolation and figure out what's wrong.

By any chance, are you manually initializing Firebase? We have released a version of PerfMon version 21.0.2 that fixes an IllegalStateException when starting a trace before Firebase initializes.

Could you try updating to the latest Firebase SDK version? This is to ensure that you have the latest updates and bug fixes.

Hey @Hitarth27. We need more information to resolve this issue but there hasn't been an update in 5 weekdays. I'm marking the issue as stale and if there are no new updates in the next 5 days I will close it automatically.

If you have more information that will help us get to the bottom of this, just add a comment!
