Android Glide Image - Apple news GC Alloc ANR

Question

I am using Glide version 4.7.1.

I display the thumbnail images which I parse from different types of content links and display those images inside list view.

The library works perfectly on the emulator and with different kind of news thumbnail links. The only problem is when I run the app on my Google Pixel phone (Android P) and try to load this link (or variations of apple news image) https://c.apple.news/AgEXQVdJY1JreHAxVE9DSzFBSUFPcTV5MFEAMA

RequestOptions options = new RequestOptions().skipMemoryCache(false).diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.AUTOMATIC).override(width,height).placeholder(context.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_news_thumbnail_loading))
Glide.with(context).setDefaultRequestOptions(options).asBitmap()
                    .load("https://c.apple.news/AgEXQVdJY1JreHAxVE9DSzFBSUFPcTV5MFEAMA")
                    .into(imageViewContent);

I get following ANR

I have done several tests and figured out that this problem always occurs when I try to load thumbnail image from Apple News website and does not happen on Emulator happens on actual device.

This problem also occurs when I try Picasso etc.
