Thanks Stephan for the info, will check it and get back to you

@chillaq thanks. to add more information about this, I call the SplitFactoryBuilder.build during Application.onCreate, and my application class does not explicitly implement Configuration.Provider.
mozilla-mobile/reference-browser#525 (comment)
I can repro the bug by running a robolectric test case which call my refreshInstance method, then it will show the same error.
Complete stacktrace:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: WorkManager is not initialized properly.  You have explicitly disabled WorkManagerInitializer in your manifest, have not manually called WorkManager#initialize at this point, and your Application does not implement Configuration.Provider.

@chillaq actually it is not device specific, it happens on all device

[stephen1706]

@chillaq I manage to resolve the issue, turns out the SplitFactoryBuilder is called before Application.onCreate which causes the issue

Thanks Stephan, I will create a KB fo this issue.

@stephen1706 Need your help. I am facing similar issue. You mentioned that I call the SplitFactoryBuilder.build during Application.onCreate but later you said that SplitFactoryBuilder is called before Application.onCreate. I did not understood that. I am facing similar issue where it's created in onCreate() through dagger. How did you solve this?

Hey, @stephen1706 and @hbb20 I'm facing the same issue, any updates about how to solve it?

Didn't find any solution so far. Still see issue reported in Firebase.
