"@firebase/firestore: Firestore (8.10.0): Host has been set in both settings() and useEmulator(), emulator host will be used" on Hot Refresh

I am trying to build a flutter web app. I using the Firebase emulator to test the app. So when I Hot Refresh, I get the error in the title along with:

FirebaseError: Firestore has already been started and its settings can no longer be changed. You can only modify settings before calling any other methods on a Firestore object.

My main():

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  await Firebase.initializeApp(
    options: DefaultFirebaseOptions.currentPlatform,
  );

  String host = 'localhost';

  if (isEmulator) {
    if (!kIsWeb) {
      host = Platform.isAndroid ? '10.0.2.2' : host;
    }

    await FirebaseAuth.instance.useAuthEmulator(host, 9099);

    try {
      FirebaseFirestore.instance.useFirestoreEmulator(host, 8080);
    } on Exception catch(e){
      debugPrint('continue');
    }

    await fb_storage.FirebaseStorage.instance.useStorageEmulator(host, 9199);
    //FirebaseFunctions.instance.useFunctionsEmulator(host, 5001);

  }

  runApp(const MyApp());
}

I also wrapped useFirestoreEmulator() in a try-catch. But the dart2js transformation does not consider the FirebaseError in Javascript as an exception. So I do not have a way to divert it.

Reviewing for information related to the error message you are getting, I found a solution that is to call useEmulator after enablePersistence to fix the "Firestore has already been started" issue.

Now, you will need to make sure that all emulators have started before making a request. I also found a similar question in Stackoverflow that contains two answers with a solution that would probably help with the error message, one solution is also using a Hot Refresh.
