Firebase SDK crash on receiving broadcast intents

In a recent update we began seeing 2 crashes coming from Firebase. Neither of these crashes are reproducible, and they happen pretty infrequently, but frequently enough for us to be concerned. The first one appear 99% of the time on Android 7 (1% on Android 5):
Fatal Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: Error receiving broadcast Intent { act=android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE flg=0x4000010 (has extras) } in com.google.firebase.iid.f#96947cd

Unfortunately the Firebase SDK is obfuscated so I can't see the full context of the crash, but the exception being thrown is an NPE on a NetworkInfo object trying to perform the isConnected method.
These are the firebase libs we are using in this build:
api "com.google.firebase:firebase-config:11.6.2"
api "com.firebase:firebase-jobdispatcher:0.8.4"
We upgraded the firebase-config lib from 11.2.0 to 11.6.2 and added the jobdispatcher lib between the previous release and this new release where we began seeing the crash. I've searched around but haven't seen any existing conversations about the issue, if anyone has insight we'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

I got an official answer from the firebase team to the bug report I sent concerning this issue:
Yes, you are right. This is currently an issue from Firebase SDK 11.6.0 onwards.
Our engineers are currently working on a fix for this issue, but I can't share any details or timelines at this time.
In the meantime, I would suggest you to use the older version of the Firebase SDK.
You may check our release notes for any further updates.

Had same issue. Fixed in Firebase SDK 11.8.0.

Also checked the release notes:
SDK Version 11.8.0 - December 18, 2017
Cloud Messaging
Fixed an internal NullPointerException caused by a call to NetworkInfo.isConnected().

Anyone who can point in any direction? I'm kinda lost as to the cause of this.

Meteor Cordova app: Android crash

My app started crashing on my Android device. It used to work well and I did not change anything... I think it is related to Cordova but I have no clue why it suddenly started to crash.
Here is the log:

SMS sending works excellent on my device and several others. Seems, that it is Android bug.
I could not find anything similar except for https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/automate-user/8gyfmMvPYDY
but they didn't solve it.

It seems that your map is not correctly initialized. You should debug it with Android Studio by placing a breakpoint when you initialize your map to see what happen.
