NullPointerException from Google maps

by

So as suspected this is an issue at googles side. They’ve verified the bug and are working on a fix (2015-12-21), see googles bug tracker for up to date info about the issue.

Edit:

So I got to test Georges SD info and yes inserting a SD card solved the problem. So from this we can conclude phones that don’t have an internal fake-external storage (like most phones now a days) will crash from this bug… So this might be a workaround for those who work in the enterprise segment but for those working in the consumer segment this will not really help a lot…

A developer from the Google team has announced the fix has been made and it will be rolled out with the next major release of Google play, but they haven’t set a timeline for that yet.
