App Center Install Id is returning null for push notification?

I am using App Center for Push Notification in xamarin forms.

I have followed all the steps required for App Center as well as Firebase.

But still i am getting null value for install id

var guid = AppCenter.GetInstallIdAsync().Result

Need your help to debug this.

InstallId on Xamarin Android is null if called before the start method of the SDK.

Dont forget to update Appcenter Nuget packages, there was a specific old version with a bug on the GetInstallIdAsync method

Another thing: dont use .Result. Await the method in your Onstart method like this:

    protected override async void OnStart()
    {
        AppCenter.Start("ios=-----;android=----", typeof(Push));
        var guid = await AppCenter.GetInstallIdAsync();
    }

Since OnStart is just an event, and nothing is waiting for it’s return, using async void is acceptable here.

I'm doing this in my apps and it works
