InMobiSdk crashes, if play-services-location is installed

[fornewid]

Our company's application is using com.inmobi.monetization:inmobi-ads-kotlin:10.6.2.

We recently updated the Google Play Billing library to version 6.2.1.
And com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:19.0.0 is installed by Play Billing library.

After that, InMobiSdk crashes like the following stactraces:

java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: Found class com.google.android.gms.location.FusedLocationProviderClient, but interface was expected (declaration of 'com.google.android.gms.location.FusedLocationProviderClient' appears in /data/internal_app/{our application package}-BumjAcCdfEkBz7mfi7BZbg==/base.apk!classes2.dex)
	at com.inmobi.media.d6.b(LocationInfo.kt:50)
	at com.inmobi.media.zb.h(TokenRequest.kt:42)
	at com.inmobi.sdk.InMobiSdk.getToken(InMobiSdk.kt:21)

But, com.inmobi.monetization:inmobi-ads-kotlin library has no depencency to play-services-location.
So I think, InMobiSdk refer FusedLocationProviderClient using reflection.

So please let us know which version of play-services-location we should use.

Please note that the same issue is also registered in the Google AdMob inquiry channel.

Now I understand why.

InMobi SDK has a hidden dependency on play-services-location 21.0.1.
And play-services-location can be optionally added by app.

FusedLocationProviderClient is an interface in 21.0.1.
FusedLocationProviderClient is a class in 19.0.0.

If add play-services-location 19.0.0 to app, then IncompatibleClassChangeError occurs.
And Exception has already been handled inside the LocationInfo.kt file:

But, IncompatibleClassChangeError is an Error. Not Exception.
So our application will crash in this case.

Is there a flag to turn off location collection in the InMobi SDK so that LocationInfo doesn't work?

Or would it be possible to handle Throwable instead of Exception?
