Upgrade to Facebook Android SDK 4.41.0?

[phiferd]

I'm seeing app crashes due to a bug in the Facebook Android SDK Java library that was recently fixed here:

facebook/facebook-android-sdk@66d9c62

The fix is included in Facebook's SDK version 4.41.0. I realize it has only been out for 26 days, but I just wanted to see if others are having this issue and if there is a timeline for upgrading.

Including crash logs line from our app in case others are looking for the same:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException
Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean org.json.JSONObject.optBoolean(java.lang.String, boolean)' on a null object reference
com.facebook.UserSettingsManager$1.run

Does anyone have any insight on what ultimately causes the code to get into this state? If there's something I can do to prevent the NPE at the application level (e.g. "make sure you call X before you call Y") that would be fine as well. I can ask the same question on the FB SDK repo, but I assume they will just instruct me to download the updated version.
