[Android] Smartlook.start() freezes app functions for 2 seconds

[wif70068]

With Capacitor 5 on Android, executing Smartlook.start() causes certain native functions, such as native HTTP requests (e.g., via CapacitorHTTP) or the initialization of the OneSignal SDK, to freeze for 2 seconds.

During this time, logcat repeats the following for the entire 2 seconds:

This is observed as a 2-second delay on app startup because Smartlook is called at deviceready.

is this repository still active?

Hi! Thanks for the report and sorry for the delayed response, we've been busy with our Cisco integration stuff.
If this is still persisting for you, could you please kindly try to update to a newly release version, 2.0.6? It uses our latest Android SDK with a lot of fixes & improvements.
Feel free to ping me here should the issue still persist and we can take it from there.
Thank you!
