Hi @yosefBazaart, thanks for reaching out. In order for us to isolate the problem, could you confirm if you're only using these 3 products - Database/Storage/Analytics? If not, could you kindly specify each product? Also is there any chance you could share code snippets that you're using related to these products? It'll help us out a lot to investigate this issue further, thanks!

Hello @argzdev thank you for your response, Here are the Firebase imports that we have in our app:

    implementation(platform("com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:32.2.3"))
    implementation("com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics-ktx")
    implementation("com.google.firebase:firebase-config-ktx")
    implementation("com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-ktx")
    implementation("com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging-ktx")
    implementation("com.google.firebase:firebase-perf-ktx")

Thank you for the details you shared @yosefBazaart. I was having a trouble in reproducing the issue. Could you try using the latest Firebase SDK version (33.1.1) and see if the issue persists? If so, could share code snippet/ MCVE to help us out a lot to investigate this issue? Thanks!
