Unable to resume activity: java.util.ConcurrentModificationException in Remote Config

[FilippoVigani]

• Android Studio version: Android Studio Giraffe | 2022.3.1
• Firebase Component: Remote Config
• Component version: 21.4.1 (BOM 32.2.2)

I'm seeing a crash from my bug tracker that appears to be coming from remote config, here's the stack trace:

From the stack trace itself it's hard to tell exactly where the issue arises. Some code I use from remote config:

    private val configCoroutineScope = CoroutineScope(SupervisorJob() + Dispatchers.IO)

    private val configStatus: MutableStateFlow<ConfigStatus> =
        MutableStateFlow(ConfigStatus.Uninitialized)

    private enum class ConfigStatus {
        Uninitialized, DefaultsReady, RemoteReady
    }

    override val appUrls = configStatus.filter {
            it == ConfigStatus.DefaultsReady || it == ConfigStatus.RemoteReady
        }.flatMapLatest {
            streamRemoteConfig(
                setOf(
                    "example", "test"
                )
            ).retryWithExponentialBackoff(onError = {
                    Timber.w(it)
                })
        }.map {
            ExampleData(
                 example = getString("example"),
                 test = getString("test"),
            )
        }

    private fun streamRemoteConfig(keys: Set<String>): Flow<FirebaseRemoteConfig> {
        return callbackFlow {
            val listener = object : ConfigUpdateListener {
                override fun onUpdate(configUpdate: ConfigUpdate) {
                    Firebase.remoteConfig.activate()
                    if (configUpdate.updatedKeys.intersect(keys).isNotEmpty()) {
                        runBlocking {
                            send(Firebase.remoteConfig)
                        }
                    }
                }

                override fun onError(error: FirebaseRemoteConfigException) {
                    close(error)
                }
            }
            send(Firebase.remoteConfig)
            val registration = Firebase.remoteConfig.addOnConfigUpdateListener(listener)

            awaitClose {
                registration.remove()
            }
        }
    }

    override fun initialize() {
        configCoroutineScope.launch {
            retryWithExponentialBackoff {
                Firebase.remoteConfig.setDefaultsAsync(
                    mapOf(
                        // Here i set some defaults...
                    )
                ).await()
                configStatus.value = ConfigStatus.DefaultsReady
            }

            retryWithExponentialBackoff {
                Firebase.remoteConfig.fetch(0).await()
                Firebase.remoteConfig.activate()
                configStatus.value = ConfigStatus.RemoteReady
            }
        }
    }

I found a few problems with this issue:

• I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.
• This issue does not seem to follow the issue template. Make sure you provide all the required information.

The same issue happens to my app in production Firebase Component: Remote Config Component version: BOM 32.7.0

Is there anything we could do with this?
