Initializing the SDK programmatically by using FirebaseOptions cause crash when call URLConnection.getInputStream()

[yin-haoran]

Calling URLConnection.getInputStream() before FirebaseApp.initializeApp() will lead crash. Maybe due to the Bytecode instrumented functions com.google.firebase.perf.network.FirebasePerfUrlConnection#openStream(java.net.URL).

stack info as follow:

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

Hi @argzdev, could you see this issue please.

Hey @yin-haoran, thanks for bringing this up. I was also able to exhibit the same behavior. I tried following our documentation on disabling the performance monitoring library, but this doesn't seem to work when Firebase is initialized programmatically.

        <meta-data
            android:name="firebase_performance_collection_enabled"
            android:value="false" />

Let me reach out to our engineering team and see what we can do here.
