Android: Internal error in Cloud Firestore (24.0.2)

Question

Iam using Firestore 24.0.2, and it was working well, but now i surprised that it is not working, and the app crash when opening MainActivity after Splash Activity.

I tried to remove some dependencies and the problem still exist.

So, After the app run:

First -> Splash Screen shown with some code from Firebase RemoteConfig, and it works well.

Second -> It moves to Main Activity which has Fragments that use Firestore, after less than one second from show Main Activity, the app crash, with java.lang.RuntimeException: Internal error in Cloud Firestore (24.0.2)

I've seen a lot of threads and questions on Stack Overflow, GitHub, and more sites, and no solution worked for me.

Full Crash Code:

  java.lang.RuntimeException: Internal error in Cloud Firestore (24.0.2).

Answer 1

As of today i ran into this issue and solved it by adding this little block of code to my andriod/app/build_gradle

release {
         signingConfig signingConfigs.release
         shrinkResources false
         minifyEnabled false
         proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
      }

Answer 2

I have tried many available answers like disable minify enable as false, which in not a right approach. Adding a line in pro-guard finally resolved the issue after 2 days of hard work.

-keep class io.grpc.** {*;}

Answer 3

In my case, I forgot to put await on every Firebase.initializeApp().

await Firebase.initializeApp(name: 'noPersist', options: options);

await Firebase.initializeApp();
FirebaseDatabase.instance.setPersistenceEnabled(true);

Answer 4

I just had to revert to Firestore 24.0.0 and it stopped.
