I'm experiencing similar bug in version 6.14.2 that was previously fixed in 6.11.3 https://github.com/AppsFlyerSDK/appsflyer-flutter-plugin/issues/109. Could this be a regression? Any insight or further investigation would be appreciated. Thank you!

I'm also experiencing the similar issue in Version 6.13.2+1. Should I revert to Version 6.11.3? Please suggest.
