App crash after adding getApplicationContext() method

[JitainSharma]

Android OS 11
Using (Option 2) Using delegates

After setup all the steps the exception is throw by the application (Crash log attached at the end).

This is happening after adding the below method to the base application class:

override fun getApplicationContext(): Context =
      LocaleHelper.onAttach(super.getApplicationContext())

If this method is removed, app loads fine without any exception, but when the language from the Android Settings is changed, it doesn't reflect to the app. Have to close the app by swiping to get the changes.
