Also getting this same error

VPN , firewall and adblockers are blocking branch due to their attempt to track the user, this causes a break preventing from proper init of the whole sdk for some reason , they don't handle it very well.. no tracking no service kind of policy..

[robertevans1]

Did you find a solution @gabidev89 ?

[gabidev89]

Wrapping the init with try catch and initing the firebase deeplinks as fallback, will do till firebase drops upport on August...
