Hi I am trying to use remote config in Firebase on Android, but am having problems getting it working. I am using the following versions:

    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-appindexing:17.1.0'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.6'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-config:16.1.3

However, it is crashing when I try and fetch the remote config with the error:

   FirebaseRemoteConfig: IPC failure: 10:NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String com.google.firebase.iid.FirebaseInstanceId.getId()' on a null object reference

I presume this means that the FirebaseInstanceId is null. I am initialising Firebase using:

FirebaseApp.initializeApp(Context)

This had been working previously using 11.8.0, but not even that version works now. I think something else has changed somewhere else to cause this, but I have run out of ideas as to what it could be.

Firebase instance is fetched based on the information in the json file. Check google's json file once, if any changes in keystore or project info? – Charan Jan 16 '19 at 11:45
@IntelliJAmiya Is this really the solution. Does remote config have a dependency on messaging? – Clive Jefferies Jan 16 '19 at 13:02
@Charan The json file had not changed. – Clive Jefferies Jan 16 '19 at 13:02
