• The crash happens within a few seconds of our app starting (see attached breadcrumbs from Bugsnag).

Note: we went from 6.6.1 to 6.8.0, so the issue may have been introduced in 6.7.0 or 6.8.0.

The stack trace makes me think it's related to this behavior introduced in 6.7.0: https://support.appsflyer.com/hc/en-us/articles/6971914107025-Bulletin-Adding-a-priority-queue-to-the-Android-SDK

@amit-kremer93 should I still email the support team?

According to this, this issue was likely fixed in 6.8.1: https://github.com/AppsFlyerSDK/appsflyer-android-app/issues/17#issuecomment-1246033374. I'll close this for now while I update, but will reopen if we keep seeing in production.
