Sync remote config

 private fun initRemoteConfig(){
    val configSettings = remoteConfigSettings {
        minimumFetchIntervalInSeconds = 3600//3
    }
    remoteConfig.setConfigSettingsAsync(configSettings)
    remoteConfig.setDefaultsAsync(R.xml.remote_config_defaults)
    remoteConfig.fetchAndActivate()
}

I have a local copy of the firebase config. Everything is working fine. I'm just seeing the error in the console.

I have the same problem. Fortunately there is a fix in the pipeline already: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-android-sdk/pull/1209 ...unfortunately it's still open. Since February 6th :-/

I realized that this error is not a problem. Remote config still works.

Update:
The fix for this issue was released in Remote Config 19.2.0 - see this for more info.

This has been fixed in the latest release of Remote Config – Birthroot

I still see this Exception on Remote Config version 19.1.4. – Fascista

@Fascista This was fixed in 19.2.0, see this issue for more info. – Chela

@SONUSOURAV See my comment above – Chela

Lol, it was me who had opened the issue there. I forgot to update here. Thanks for mention that its resolved now. – Forever
