MapboxGL.setTelemetryEnabled(boolean) crashes on android

Describe the bug
Calling MapboxGL.setTelemetryEnabled(boolean) crashes on android.

To Reproduce
Call MapboxGL.setTelemetryEnabled(boolean) in componentDidMount()

Example:

import React from 'react';
import MapboxGL from '@react-native-mapbox-gl/maps';

class BugReportExample extends React.Component {
  
  componentDidMount() {
    MapboxGL.setTelemetryEnabled(false);
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <MapboxGL.MapView style={{flex: 1}}>
       
      </MapboxGL.MapView>
    );
  }
}

Expected behavior
Telemetry to be set to false and map to function

Actual behavior
iOS works fine. On Android app crashes with following exception:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke interface method 'void com.mapbox.mapboxsdk.maps.b0.setUserTelemetryRequestState(boolean)' on a null object reference

The issue seems to only occur in Android 12. Mapbox upgraded telemetry dependency to 8.1.0 to be compatible with Android 12 so I did the same.

https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native-android/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#962---july-7-2021

Adding this implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-telemetry:8.1.0' to android/app/build.gradle fixed my problem.

Hi,

I’ve experience same problem as @olofho just in Android 12. For me it work just fine in Android 10 & Android 11.

Versions (please complete the following information):

Platform: Android Platform OS: Android 12 Device: Android emulator & GooglePixel Emulator/ Simulator: Same error on both Dev OS: Windows 10 Pro react-native-mapbox-gl Version: 8.5.0 React Native Version: 0.63.4

Also as @airburst described moving MapboxGL.setTelemetryEnabled(false) to onDidFinishLoadingMap, useEffect or componentDidMount doesn’t help. Telemetry object is always null and it causes application crash.

Can we reopen this issue?
