SDK v12.4.0: Initialization is not completed.

[takazawa-gg]

MAX SDK Version

12.4.0

Device/Platform Info

Android 13, Pixel 6a

Current Behavior

After updating to SDK v12.4.0, initializeSdk() became Deprecated, so I'm trying the new initialize(). However, initialization is not completed.

When I look at the log, the following error is output. Do I need to set TargetingData even if I don't use it?

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 
'java.util.Map com.applovin.impl.sdk.AppLovinTargetingDataImpl.getJsonData()' on a null object reference

If there is any documentation that describes how to write a new initialization, please let me know.

Expected Behavior

No response

How to Reproduce

I am trying to initialize it with the following code.

public void initializeSDK(Boolean enableVerboseLogging) {
    Log.i(CLASS_NAME, "initializeSDK()");

    AppLovinSdkInitializationConfiguration initConfig = AppLovinSdkInitializationConfiguration.builder(SDK_KEY, getActivity())
            .setMediationProvider(AppLovinMediationProvider.MAX)
            .configureSettings(settings -> {
                AppLovinTermsAndPrivacyPolicyFlowSettings flowSettings = settings.getTermsAndPrivacyPolicyFlowSettings();

                if (enableVerboseLogging) {
                    settings.setVerboseLogging(true);
                }

                if (enableConsentFlow) {
                    flowSettings.setEnabled(true);
                }

                if (privacyUrl != null && !privacyUrl.isEmpty()) {
                    flowSettings.setPrivacyPolicyUri(Uri.parse(privacyUrl));
                }

                if (termsUrl != null && !termsUrl.isEmpty()) {
                    flowSettings.setTermsOfServiceUri(Uri.parse(termsUrl));
                }

                if (enableDebugUserGeographyGDPR) {
                    flowSettings.setDebugUserGeography(AppLovinSdkConfiguration.ConsentFlowUserGeography.GDPR);
                }
            })
            .build();

    AppLovinSdk.getInstance(getActivity()).initialize(initConfig, initListener -> {
        Log.i(CLASS_NAME, "initializeSDK() @ AppLovin SDK is initialized, start loading ads.");
        Log.i(CLASS_NAME, "initializeSDK() @ CountryCode: " + initListener.getCountryCode());
        Log.i(CLASS_NAME, "initializeSDK() @ ConsentFlowUserGeography: " + initListener.getConsentFlowUserGeography());

        isInitializedSDK = true;
        dispatchStatusEventAsync("didInitializeSdk", "");
    });
}
