Android crashes when calling Instabug.init

[JohnGoodman]

Using Instabug 12.2.0 ( but also tried with 12.8.0 and had the same issue ) and react native 0.73.6.

I run yarn android and the app builds. Open the app and it crashes and shows nothing in the metro logs. There is a Logcat error shown below. The culprit seems to be Instabug.init({token: instabugKey});. If I comment out that line, the app runs as expected. The instabugKey variable is set and Instabug itself is loaded.

Logcat error

The issue was related to having an older version of CrashReporting within my app. It was failing silently so there was no indication that was the problem. After digging into the docs more, I found that I was using an older version of CrashReporting. After updating, this package works on Android again.
