Hi @Benji41, i think your issue might be similar to #6737

Hi @Benji41, thank you for raising this. This issue is indeed related to #6737.

Per our engineers, in the originating issue #6413

Firebase AI depends on Ktor major version 2 and a project level upgrade to Ktor 3.0.0 will run into some issues due to the breaking changes. As Ktor 3.0.0 was released recently, we plan to give it some time to stabilize and upgrade at a later point in time. This means the best solution is using Ktor 2.x.x for the time being.

firebase-android-sdk/gradle/libs.versions.toml

Line 49 in bfd3c76

ktorVersion = "2.3.2"

To streamline communication on this, please refer to issue #6737. That said, I'll be closing this issue now. Let me know if there's any misunderstanding so we can re-open the issue. Thanks!

Thank you @lehcar09, i'm trying to release an app using this feature but this is a blocker for me, is there any estimated date on when the migration will happen? 🥹
