soot.jimple.StaticFieldRef.getField() is null

When soot.jimple.StaticFieldRef.getField() is null, trying to getType by soot.jimple.StaticFieldRef.getField().getType().

apk file: WildBlackJack_v1.3_13_1234567892.zip

        Options.v().setPhaseOption("cg.spark", "enabled:true");

        Scene.v().loadNecessaryClasses();

        List<SootMethod> entryPoints = new ArrayList<>();

        for (SootClass sc : Scene.v().getApplicationClasses()) {
            entryPoints.addAll(sc.getMethods());
        }
        Scene.v().setEntryPoints(entryPoints);

        PackManager.v().runPacks();

In soot.jimple.spark.builder.MethodNodeFactory.caseStaticFieldRef, I added an if statement, if getField() is null then trying to getFieldRef().

modification in soot.jimple.spark.builder.MethodNodeFactory.caseStaticFieldRef:

@Override
    final public void caseStaticFieldRef(StaticFieldRef sfr) {
        if (sfr.getField() != null) {
            setResult(pag.makeGlobalVarNode(sfr.getField(), sfr.getField().getType()));
        } else if (sfr.getFieldRef() != null) {
            setResult(pag.makeGlobalVarNode(sfr.getFieldRef(), sfr.getFieldRef().type()));
        }
    }
