Android App crashes on startup with nothing changed..?

Question

[SOLVED] -> NullPointerException was not caused in Java, but by an outside source (WCF webservice) with faulty implementation.

I have an Android App project in Android Studio that I had working perfectly fine a few days ago. I came into work today, literally changing nothing and when I launch it now, it just crashes on startup. I really don't understand what the stacktrace is trying to tell me..

Check your AsyncTask.
You are trying to split a null String.

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String[] java.lang.String.split(java.lang.String)' on a null object reference
