Up. This has high priority since we can't release before fixing this.

@neslihanturan , Yup, the app is crashing on pre-lollipop devices, I got a fix working for pre-lollipop devices, but then the app crashes on above lollipop devices with entirely different exception.

Update

Finally the app is working on both, pre and post lollipop devices.
