[ServerSide] `NullPointerException` in `TCPredefinedVariables.updateVariablesForNewSession()` since v5.5.4

[MGaetan89]

Details

In v5.5.3, the numberSessions was retrieved via getPropertyFromSharedPreferences(String), which returns a non-null String.
In v5.5.4, the numberSessions is retrieved via getData(String), which returns a null-able String. However, numberSessions is used directly, without checking if it is null first:

if (numberSessions.isEmpty()) {

Log

Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean java.lang.String.isEmpty)' on a null object reference at com.tagcommander.lib.serverside.TCPredefinedVariables.updateVariablesForNewSession
(TCPredefinedVariables.java:644)

Additional context

We have applications in production reporting this crash. We're reverting back to ServerSide 5.5.3 until it is fixed.

I see that ServerSide has received a new 5.5.5 release, with the following note:

Small fix for an internal value NPE.
