Android DateTimeUtils error

[RyanMcManus10]

Bug I'm getting a lot of screen rebuilds on android, when debugging I can see that Braze is failing because of a DateTimeUtils error, the logs are constantly looping through this error:

What device are you running this on? That error is indicating that the device doesn't have a NTP time sync'd, so it's falling back to the device's local time. I'll get a fix in so that isn't spamming.

I don't believe this should cause screen rebuilding.

I got this error also, I'm using pixel 7 api 34 simulator and the braze_plugin version is 8.2.0, and it usually threw this error on my android mobile(honor 30)

I used the logCustomEvent function, and when this error occured, the other code after the function would not work

I have not test on other devices, but if still meet this error, this will affect many features of our app

We have a fix internally and will update you all once that's released. Thank you for filing.
