Firebase App crashed on launch when made active from background

I have a Firebase integrated to my swift app. All the initialisation done is programmatically and the FirebaseApp.config() is called the very first thing in didLaunchWithOptions in the AppDelegate.

But for some random reason, whenever the app is in the background for a long time, the app just crashes on the run, i.e making it's state active. Interestingly, this crash happens exactly 2 times in the following flow:

1. The App is idle in background
2. You bring it to the active mode(You just tap the icon to open the app. All this while the app isn't killed)
3. Tap 1  ---- The App Crashes----
4. Tap 2  ---- The App Crashes----
5. Tap 3  ---- The App Runs Normally ----

I tried to troubleshoot but all my efforts have gone in vain. I have tried setting up both the storyboards and programmatically launching app. Nothing works.

Following is the stack trace :

        libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException

Following is the code from didLaunchWithOptions:

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {

    #if DEVELOPMENT
        print("Development Mode Started")
    #else
        print("Production Mode Started")
    #endif
    FirebaseApp.configure()
    Messaging.messaging().delegate = self

    //other app functions

    return true
}

I am calling the Firebase API in the viewDidLoad of init controller. And this is the Service through which it gets called and this even contains the crash aswell.

class FBDataservice : NSObject {
    static var ds = FBDataservice() //<------ Creates Error here on every single crash related to this issue

let DB_URL: DatabaseReference = Database.database().reference()
let ST_URL: StorageReference = Storage.storage().reference()

private lazy var _REF_BASE = DB_URL

}

And then I just call FBDataservice.ds._REF_BASE.child("something").observe( .Event, with (Datasnapshot)) in the viewDidLoad or viewDidAppear. I am just mostly fetching the data. And then push data like updating app RunCounts on didBecameActive in AppDelegate

Any help will immensely be appreciated. Cheers

Check FirebaseApp.app() if this is nil can you call the FirebaseApp.configure() again? You need to debug if this crashes in appDidBecomeActive: or didEneterInForeground: method.

Also please check where you use FirebaseDatabase at very first time after launching the application except the configuration line? I mean is in any ViewController or anywhere, we need to check the condition here.

Updated Question:

Regarding your updated question FBDataservice() where are you making its instance because as you create its instance it will create DB_URL and ST_URL url instances which are related to Firebase so probably Firebase is not configured before this. You can override its init method to check if Firebase is configured or not.

You took two variables which will be create in constructor whenever you will make an instance of this class.

Try one thing... replace 

static var ds = FBDataservice()

with 

static var ds: FBDataservice { 
    if FirebaseApp.app() == nil { 
         FirebaseApp.configure() 
    } 
    return FBDataservice() 
}
