Hi @MedAliHaBloomwell, kindly provide a complete sample that reproduces this issue.

[MedAliHaBloomwell]

you can try even empty app i tried now with empty app with out firebase configuration it still i have the same issue

[SelaseKay]

I'm still unable to reproduce your issue. Kindly share the content of your main.dart

[SelaseKay]

I'm encountering a different error when I use your sample within my main function. I get this error: core_patch.dart:279 Uncaught Error: Null check operator used on a null . Is this in anyway related to what you're referring to? I reproduced this error when I run flutter run --release -d chrome

[MedAliHaBloomwell]

it could
but I will try to replicated also but with my private configuration to see where the issue is coming from
