@asai569
This issue seem to have been fixed just recently: #8566
So look for latest plugin version in pub.dev and try it once it is availabe to see the fix.

[ChurikiTenna]

Hi, I am having same issue..

dependencies:
firebase_core: ^1.16.0

Code Below

WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  debugPrint('initializeApp');
  await Firebase.initializeApp();
  debugPrint('didinitializeApp');

• didinitializeApp does not appear on the console. Only initializeApp does.

The latest version seems to be 1.16.0 released 7 days ago.
Am I missing something?
Sorry for the trouble.

Hey @asai569. We need more information to resolve this issue but there hasn't been an update in 7 weekdays. I'm marking the issue as stale and if there are no new updates in the next 7 days I will close it automatically.

If you have more information that will help us get to the bottom of this, just add a comment!

[google-oss-bot]

Since there haven't been any recent updates here, I am going to close this issue.

@asai569 if you're still experiencing this problem and want to continue the discussion just leave a comment here and we are happy to re-open this.

@darshankawar i tried today using 1.17.1 which is the latest on pub.dev and I am still getting the same error.

my initialization code is just one line :

void main() async {
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
await Firebase.initializeApp();
runApp(MyApp());
}

not sure what I am doing wrong. Also, I am using Flutter v3.0.1 if that is required knowledge.
