NullPointerException at com.google.android.gms.ads

Question

From Google Play developer console I'm getting the following crash:

java.lang.NullPointerException: 
  at com.google.android.gms.ads.internal.overlay.k.h (com.google.android.gms.policy_ads_fdr_dynamite@204204100@204204100000.336078696.336078696)

for example on this device: Huawei Y5 - Android 5.1 (SDK 22) using com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:19.5.0

I was unable to report this on https://support.google.com/admob/ cause any kind of report submission fails.

Any suggestment about the crash? Workaround? Fix? Thank you in advance
