Failed to get document because the client is offline.

Hi, from time to time I get this random error. Anyone else have happened? I have to say, that other parts of the application works.

        public static async Task<bool> CheckIfFollowingAsync(string userId)
        {
            var document = await CrossCloudFirestore.Current.Instance
                                                    .Collection(Settings.FollowingCollection)
                                                    .Document(MyUserId())
                                                    .Collection(Settings.UserFollowingCollection)
                                                    .Document(userId)
                                                    .GetAsync();

            return document.Exists;
        }

This is the method that sometimes gives that exception

Instead of using nested queries. Try to get the document async by path (string).

So, first create the path variable set it as it should be for example: $"{Settings.FollowingCollection}/{MyUserId()}/.....

@vhugogarcia

 var document = await CrossCloudFirestore.Current.Instance
                            .Document($"{Settings.FollowingCollection}/{MyUserId()}/{Settings.UserFollowingCollection}/{userId}")
                            .GetAsync();

Does this really make a difference? I do not understand.

This usually happens when the application goes to OnSleep and then OnResume or it has not been opened for a long time. I think Firestore thinks there is no connection but there is. I don't know how to fix this. What I don't understand is why it looks at the cache when there is an internet connection.

When resuming the application should we call EnableNetworkAsync? Wait a few seconds for Firestore to connect?

@f-miyu know something about it? Does it have to do with the android SDK which is out of date?
