[Bug]: crash during onesignal 4.8.6 initialisation on [NPE from com.onesignal.LocationController.backgroundLocationPermissionLogic(LocationController.java:284)]

[chokokatana]

What happened?

Getting crashes from devices on field, logs indicate they are just opening the app and have practically no time to do anything else because the app is crashing on them.

Steps to reproduce?

Open app on Galaxy Z Fold3 5G with Android 13. According to app logs these are devices without Google Play Services:

> Couldn't get ad id info java.io.IOException: Google Play services not available (no exception)

What did you expect to happen?

Hopefully not crash.

@chokokatana Thank you for reporting. Just to confirm this is only happening on the Galaxy Z Fold devices? We investigate to see what is different about that devices lifecycle.

[chokokatana]

Yes, only had this on those devices and the logs showed lack of google play services. Got 4 crashlytics crash reports from 2 users, but given the times it's most likely a single user who installed the app, tried to open it twice, deleted the app, reinstalled, tried twice again, and probably we won't see him ever again.
