[Bug report] BarcodeScanning getClient - MlKitContext has not been initialized

[khosbayar-b]

Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is. We started seeing this rarely on some devices at the moment. It is weird that getting MlKitContext has not been initialized even though we are not manually initializing a context (neither disabled content-provider as well)

If applicable, please include code snippet and sample input(image, video, text, etc)

We see this too, though rarely, on Poco F5 devices running Android 13 with com.google.mlkit:barcode-scanning:17.2.0

I just code in application.java MlKitContext.initializeIfNeeded(this);
