[firebase 3.2.x] Android "default FirebaseApp is not initialized" #243

CLI: 8.6.5
@nativescript/core: 8.6.2
@nativescript/firebase-analytics: 3.2.2
@nativescript/firebase-core: 3.2.2
@nativescript/firebase-crashlytics: 3.2.2
@nativescript/firebase-messaging: 3.2.2

Were there any breaking changes in the latest versions of firebase-core analytics, crashlytics or messaging? After updating from version 3.1.3 to version 3.2.2 or 3.2.0, I get this error on Android devices:
Error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Default FirebaseApp is not initialized in this process com.myapp.myapp. Make sure to call FirebaseApp.initializeApp(Context) first.

My code, unchanged from the previous version. initializeApp() returns null and the next line throws the exception.

import { firebase } from "@nativescript/firebase-core";
import "@nativescript/firebase-analytics";
import "@nativescript/firebase-crashlytics";
import "@nativescript/firebase-messaging";

export async function initFirebase() {
    const app = await firebase().initializeApp();
    // app is null

    firebase().crashlytics().setCrashlyticsCollectionEnabled(true);
}

Downgrading to version 3.1.3 all works fine.
