ANR on App launch with Taboola and Firebase Performance Plugin

Hi,

I am using Taboola ads in my app. It seems Taboola ads sdk not compatible with latest Firebase Performance plugin.

First session navigate to the fragment where Taboola ads located and I can see the advertisements as expected. Then if I kill the app from recent screens and when I try opening it again there's a crash / ANR.

here is the library versions I am using

Android Gradle Plugin version 8.0.2

Kotlin 1.8.0

Taboola sdk com.taboola:android-sdk:3.8.18

Firebase Performance plugin: com.google.firebase:firebase-perf-ktx:20.4.1

Android app target version : 33

Android Studio Giraffe | 2022.3.1 Patch 1

Note: Its working fine If I downgrade the performance plugin version to firebase-perf-ktx:20.3.0
