Hi there, we're using the latest Max sdk are getting the following issue on Android 12 and 13 devices:

Type java.lang.RuntimeException

Is there anything I can do to work around this?
Play Console seems to think this occurred when the app was in the background. We can't repro here.

Thanks,

Steve.

Hi @stevenhaggerty - about what % of DAUs are affected by this crash? We'll have a fix in the next SDK release and will notify this thread when that occurs.

Fixed in our latest Android SDK v11.6.0.
