是否需要调用 FirebaseApp.initializeApp() 来初始化 firebase？

Question

我将 firebase 添加到我的 android 项目中以使用 firebase 云消息传递。我遵循了文档，但没有找到任何调用FirebaseApp.initializeApp().

我的应用程序运行良好，除了一次因以下错误而崩溃。

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Default FirebaseApp is not initialized in this process com.my.app. Make sure to call FirebaseApp.initializeApp(Context) first.
at com.google.firebase.FirebaseApp.getInstance(Unknown Source)
at com.google.firebase.iid.FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance(Unknown Source)
at com.my.app.core.ApplicationEx.onCreate(ApplicationEx.java:79)

当我搜索错误时，给出的解决方案是FirebaseApp.initializeApp()在启动时调用。

我想知道这是否真的有必要，因为文档没有提到它，而且我的应用程序（大部分）没有它就可以正常工作。

有谁知道是否FirebaseApp.initializeApp()真的需要调用，还有什么可能导致我上面提到的错误？

以下是我的 build.gradle

Firebase SDK 通常不支持使用主进程以外的进程。如果 ACRA 启动并启动另一个流程，其自己的流程将为该流程创建一个新的应用程序子类。这是因为每个应用程序进程都必须实例化一个应用程序对象。

这对您的应用意味着其他进程永远不应该使用 Firebase API。这意味着您需要找到另一个地方来获取该 IID 令牌。

（请注意，Firebase SDK 由默认合并到您的应用中的 ContentProvider 自动初始化 - 您永远不必调用 FirebaseApp.initializeApp() ，除非您已删除此 ContentProvider 或者您不使用 google-services 插件。 ）

通常，当应用需要获取 IID 令牌时，它们会创建 FirebaseInstanceIdService 的子类，如文档中所述。每次已知新令牌时都会通知此服务。这是您应该检索它并将其发送到服务器的地方。
