google.sent_time expected String -> crash about gcmpush HOT 8 CLOSED

Crashing in my app too. Push works on Nexus 5 (Marshmallow 6.1) but crashing on other devices (Lava android one).

from gcmpush.

My device is a HTC A9 (Andorid 6) and it used to work there too. I even recorded a video two weeks ago showing the push feature 😄

I'm having a very weird issue surrounding this area of the code too and it seems too close to be coincidental. All of a sudden (starting a few days ago), my app has started crashing a lot with:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean java.lang.String.startsWith(java.lang.String)' on a null object reference
    at nl.vanvianen.android.gcm.GCMIntentService.onMessage(GCMIntentService.java:105)

We didn't make any changes to our push notif implementation and although we released a new build a few days prior to the start of the error happening a lot, we didn't change anything with push notifs.

It makes me think something had to change on the Google side or Android or something...

Does anyone have any insight into this?

I'm also seeing this same error, "google.sent_time expected String", in addition to the one I posted above. I'm really not sure what happened here.

This PR fixes the issue: #46

But still not clear why it started happening.

Sorry, the PR to this repo was a mistake. I meant only to merge the fix posted here to my own fork of the repo. For those of you not able to build the module from source, you'll find a compiled version in the dist folder of my fork with the version number set to 1.5 (yeah, I know that's behind this repo's version number)

Fixed in release 1.7

my observation: this happens outside the module code. If I outcomment the implamentation of onMessageReceived the error comes also, but the message will shown in tray. I sent:
