Current behavior

Attempting to upload an image file to Firebase Cloud Storage, encountering an error:

Error message: "Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String com.getcapacitor.JSObject.getString(java.lang.String)' on a null object reference"

current setup :
uploadProfileFile = async () => {
await FirebaseStorage.uploadFile(
{
path: 'images/17852709929324920.jpeg',
uri: 'file:///data/user/0/com.testing.cloudstorage/cache/17852709929324920.jpeg',
},
(event, error) => {
if (error) {
console.log(error);
console.log('error');
} else if (event?.completed) {
console.log('upload complete')
}
}
);
};

I've tried an alternative method to verify the setup, and it's functioning correctly. I'm receiving responses from Firebase storage.

listFiles = async () => {
const { items } = await FirebaseStorage.listFiles({
path: 'images',
});
return items;
};

Expected behavior

The Firebase Cloud Storage upload feature should function as intended, allowing users to seamlessly upload files to the designated storage location.
