Step 2: Describe your environment

• Android Studio version: Android Studio Iguana
• Firebase Component: Messaging & Config
• Component version: Firebase BOM 32.7.0

[REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem

The code block above returns null for about ~1,500 users a day when we attempt to configure RemoteConfig. We are forced to check if RemoteConfigComponent is available before calling the config-ktx helper function:

firebase.get(RemoteConfigComponent::class.java) != null

and when we dont we see the following crash in production.

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'dbxyzptlk.h41.g dbxyzptlk.h41.k.d()' on a null object reference
 at com.google.firebase.remoteconfig.FirebaseRemoteConfig.getInstance(FirebaseRemoteConfig.java:86)
 at com.google.firebase.remoteconfig.ktx.RemoteConfigKt.remoteConfig(RemoteConfig.kt:32)

We also see the same behavior when it comes to getting the FirebaseMessaging and do a similar check:

firebase.get(FirebaseMessaging::class.java) != null

I do see the ComponentDiscoveryService have the Registrars populated for Messaging and RemoteConfig as well:
