Verify non-Google Play app installs using Play cor

Some context: Most of us may have faced this ResourceNotFoundException when we migrated to Android app bundle release method. It is evident that the issue is because of Side-loading the app. Reference here.

Google recently announced solution to this problem. Using play core library we can identify whether the app is side-loaded or not (Identifies the missing split apks). If the app is side-loaded it shows "Installation failed" popup and redirects to play store, where user can properly install the app via the Google Play store.

Problem: Everything works fine until the installation of missing split apks from play store. Now when I relaunch the app, it immediately crashes with an error saying.

Default FirebaseApp is not initialised in this process

Note: Directly downloading the app from play store works perfectly fine without any crash. The crash happens only when the app re-downloads because of side loading issue.

Code:
Project's build.gradle:

buildscript {
 dependencies {
  classpath 'com.android.tools.build:bundletool:0.9.0'
 }
}

App module's build.gradle:

 implementation 'com.google.android.play:core:1.6.1'

Class that extends Application:

 public void onCreate() {
    if (MissingSplitsManagerFactory.create(this).disableAppIfMissingRequiredSplits()) {
        // Skip app initialization.
        return;
    }
    super.onCreate();
    .....
 }

Any help would be really great.

I have solved this issue with the latest version of Play core library:

App module's build.gradle:

implementation "com.google.android.play:core:1.7.2"

Other implementation remains same.

A class that extends Application:

public void onCreate() {
 if (MissingSplitsManagerFactory.create(this).disableAppIfMissingRequiredSplits()) {
    // Skip app initialization.
    return;
 }
 super.onCreate();
 .....
}

How to test:

A better way to test it properly is to release the app bundle with these above fixes in play store internal test channel (Add yourself as a tester).
Simulate installing invalid apks - Use bundletool to get .apks file out of bundle, extract it and install base_master.apk using adb command adb install base_master.apk.
Launch the app, you should see "Installation failed" dialog and it redirects to Play store, clicking on Update, play store will install the missing apks.
Launching the app should work properly by now.

Hope this helps
