GoogleAnalytics.getInstance (this) is not responding

Question

I have an android application and I added the Google Analytics Tracker to it and it works (I see the views in the Google Analytics panel).

The problem is that once the application starts to load, then it gets stuck and no longer responds. I tried debugging it and I found out that when it comes to the line

  GoogleAnalytics analytics = GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(this);

ever not responding.

Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

EDIT:

I added the optional analytics_global_config and it will happen anyway

<meta-data
     android:name="com.google.android.gms.analytics.globalConfigResource"
     android:resource="@xml/analytics_global_config" />

analytics_global_config.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <resources>
     <string name="ga_appName">HebConvertor</string>
     <string name="ga_appVersion">1.0</string>
     <string name="ga_logLevel">verbose</string>
     <integer name="ga_dispatchPeriod">1000</integer>
