I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

The log is from Android Studio I believe? Can you reproduce this somewhat consistently? If so, can you tell us your setup and environment, devices used and their versions? A minimum reproduction App would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, it's from Android Studio logs. It constantly happens with Samsung phones (I tried on Android 10 and 12). I also tried on Pixel with different versions but did not have the problem. The app's minimum and target SDK versions are 27 and 34, respectively. BuildVariant - debug Firebase//
// Import the Firebase BoM (see: https://firebase.google.com/docs/android/learn-more#bom) implementation(platform("com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:33.0.0"))

This is great information. Can you provide a specific Samsung device info. I'll try to get a device to test this.

I am using a Samsung A41 and an A52.

[armanhovsepyan98]

@wu-hui But as I understand, it's not only dependent on the device because when I create an empty project and connect to Firestore, it works. However, in some projects, it's throwing an exception only on Samsung phones in my case.

Solution for Cloud Firestore RuntimeException

If you're encountering a similar issue to @armanhovsepyan98, follow these steps to resolve it:

---

1. Update google-services version in android/build.gradle

Update the google-services plugin version to ensure compatibility with Firebase dependencies:

// From:
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.10'

// To:
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.15'

2. Disable minification/shrinking in android/app/build.gradle

Temporarily disable minifyEnabled and shrinkResources in the release build type:

buildTypes {
    release {
        signingConfig signingConfigs.release

        // Temporarily disable minification / shrinking
        minifyEnabled false
        shrinkResources false
    }
}

3. Update dependencies in android/app/build.gradle

Make the following changes to your dependencies:

• Replace com.android.support:multidex with androidx.multidex.
• Add the missing Firebase dependencies.

dependencies {
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
    implementation 'androidx.multidex:multidex:2.0.1'

    implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:33.8.0')
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore"
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-auth"
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-storage"
}

Additional Notes:

• Ensure your Firebase dependencies are compatible with the firebase-bom version.
