This issue will happen if you haven't initialized the Chat SDK properly before launching a view like the splash screen activity. It can also happen if you try to initialize the Chat SDK in a place other than the main Application onCreate method. I'd recommend looking at the setup video and seeing where the configuration has been done incorrectly.
