Getting this crash very frequently even after updating to the version -

compile 'com.adobe.creativesdk.foundation:auth:0.9.2006-5'  
compile 'com.adobe.creativesdk:image:4.8.4'

I'm experiencing the very same problem and found a migration article that states to remove the CDS Service because the SDK is now responsible for this operations.

Here is the article: https://creativesdk.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/211241666-Android-migration-guide-from-0-9-7-to-0-9-1062

Update

The above solution shared by me is not working. Every time the app has been updated - this crashes starts popping up... I don't know how could be handled by us...

Hello,

Having the same issue any updates on this?

Thanks!

Try removing this part

Intent cdsIntent = AdobeImageIntent.createCdsInitIntent(getBaseContext(), "CDS");
startService(cdsIntent);

[Seishin]

@superandrew213 where is this intent?

[superandrew213]

@Seishin unfortunately that won't fix it. The issue is with the background thread.

Maybe there is a way to catch and silence this exception?
