Edit 07/09/2020: We have released firebase-iid and firebase-messaging versions 20.2.3 with a fix for this issue, please upgrade to the latest versions.

[Firebaser here] It looks like yesterday's releases of firebase-messaging and firebase-iid contain a bug which can cause this crash. We are working hard on a fix.

For now the best thing to do is to use the versions released on June 18th: https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android#2020-06-18

• com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:20.2.1
• com.google.firebase:firebase-iid:20.2.1

We are working on a fix and hope to have a new release out soon. When we do I will update this answer and the release notes will be available here: https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android
