App crashes on start - "Unable to create application com.dji.FPVDemo.MApplication: java.lang.NullPointerException"

[Andreas-Menzel]

I cloned the repository and tried to run the app on my phone. The App instantly crashes.

The app crashes when

1. it is connected to my computer / AndroidStudio
2. to the DJI remote and
3. not connected at all.

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
Android: Android 13

Android Studio: Android Studio Dolphin | 2021.3.1 Patch 1 | Runtime version: 11.0.13+0-b1751.21-8125866 amd64

Drone: DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2

I also had this problem when following your tutorial for the UXSDK Demo and creating the App from scratch.
