NullPointerException with StartServiceLog causes crash

We updated the app from 4.3.1 to 4.4.1, and during the course of or testing we noticed that the app crashes during login. We couldn't reproduce this in other devices though, only in a Pixel 3a that's on Android 12. We tried it in an emulator but we couldn't reproduce it.
