NullPointerException in createConnectionBuilder (Android)

See original GitHub issue

We just release a new app based on React Native and react-native-app-auth and Azure AD as IDP.

react-native-app-auth: 5.0.0-rc3 react-native: 0.61.5 react: 16.9.0

We never saw this during testing with emulator and a Huawei P30(Android 9). But now we have logged hundreds of these errors over the last couple of days, on a range of different phone models, and Android 8, 9 and 10. iOS seems fine.

Based on the exception, it seems like dangerouslyAllowInsecureHttpRequests. How could this be? This seems related to this issue: https://github.com/FormidableLabs/react-native-app-auth/issues/95

@kadikraman We are using 5.0.2 and getting a lot of reports via Google Play Console:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: at com.rnappauth.RNAppAuthModule.createConnectionBuilder (RNAppAuthModule.java:713) at com.rnappauth.RNAppAuthModule.onActivityResult (RNAppAuthModule.java:396) at com.facebook.react.bridge.ReactContext.onActivityResult (ReactContext.java:275) at com.facebook.react.ReactInstanceManager.onActivityResult (ReactInstanceManager.java:703) at com.facebook.react.ReactDelegate.onActivityResult (ReactDelegate.java:89) at com.facebook.react.ReactActivityDelegate.onActivityResult (ReactActivityDelegate.java:110) at com.facebook.react.ReactActivity.onActivityResult (ReactActivity.java:67) at android.app.Activity.dispatchActivityResult (Activity.java:7393) at android.app.ActivityThread.deliverResults (ActivityThread.java:4560)

Changing line 713 to

if (Boolean.TRUE.equals(allowInsecureConnections)) {

might help.
