Hi @olostan, I believe this is a duplicate of #17196

[olostan]

It looks similar but the biggest difference that my issue is only on production builds, debug builds (running with flutter) on the same device works perfectly. Also app crashes immidiately upon start, Crashlytics doesn't record any crash. On a start page I don't access any Firebase documents (just static welcome screen).

[olostan]

Also I've tried to apply fix from #17197 but app still crashes even with empy Widget as a home widget... And only in production (when installing ipa with TestFlight on device), but debug runs

[olostan]

Ok, seems in my case the app is crashing in n documentReferenceSnapshotApp:parameters:includeMetadataChanges:source:completion, specifically on this line when creating reference.

And exact place is here

I believe the root cause is same - there is exception that is not handled by plugin so crashing the whole app... @SelaseKay will this be covered in #17196 ?

[EArminjon]

Also app crashes immidiately upon start, Crashlytics doesn't record any crash. On a start page I don't access any Firebase documents (just static welcome screen).

I've a similar issue on my side, i guess it's linked to Firebase, do you have any hint over that ?
