I initialize like this

await Firebase.initializeApp(

   );

   await Parse().initialize(
     "key",
     "url",
     debug: true,

   ParsePush.instance.initialize(FirebaseMessaging.instance, parseNotification:

   FirebaseMessaging.onMessage

Future<void> initInstallation() async {
    final ParseInstallation installation =

    final ParseResponse response = await installation.create();
    print(response);
  }

when i do a fresh install i get java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.io.File com.parse.ParsePlugins.getFilesDir()' on a null object reference however when i run the app a second time the error doesnt appear

i dont know it is a miss configration but install object is not saved in the database yet deviceToken is set and the object is well populated here is the log
