@dvoloshyn Thanks for the detailed report. Is the performance slower on lower end devices as compared to high end ones ? Or is it similar ?
Also, does your app use splash screen ? If so, can you maybe try to confirm if it is implemented properly and that isn't causing the app startup ?
Performance is much lower on low end devices. Google Play reported 7.5 seconds startup on Nokia 1. Don't have a low end physical device to test myself.
According to the startup trace I attached it is clearly waiting for Firebase.initializeApp()
. I use native android splash screen. Nothing custom:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Modify this file to customize your launch splash screen -->
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="@android:color/white"/>
<item>
<bitmap
android:gravity="center"
android:src="@mipmap/ic_launcher"/>
</item>
</layer-list>
Thanks for the update. I also don't have a lower version Android device to verify this. Do you have details on range of Android devices it is affecting ? Is it specific to Nokia only or other makes as well ?
Here is the Google Play pre-launch report I received (cold start time in milliseconds):
Nokia Nokia 1 - 7.67K ms
xiaomi Redmi 6A - 2.73K ms
samsung Galaxy S9 - 1.05K ms
google Pixel 5 - 730 ms
samsung Galaxy S20 5G - 667 ms
Thanks for the quick update. I am keeping issue open and labeling for further insights from the team.

I got hold of a low end device SM-G7102 with Android 4.4.2. Time to first frame was 1662 ms. Firebase.initializeApp() took 1115 ms. That is 67% of the whole application startup. Attached the start_up_timeline.txt Is it expected?
We have monitored similar behavior in OfficeSuite app which is using pure firebase SDK without flutter.
As @gibona touched on, this is likely just the Firebase android SDKs start up time. I would encourage you to create a barebones android app and call the equivalent of Firebase.initializeApp()
on android and record start up time. I can't see what FlutterFire can do to speed it up either way. Please share your findings here if you get the chance.
Hey @dvoloshyn. We need more information to resolve this issue but there hasn't been an update in 7 weekdays. I'm marking the issue as stale and if there are no new updates in the next 7 days I will close it automatically.
If you have more information that will help us get to the bottom of this, just add a comment!
Since there haven't been any recent updates here, I am going to close this issue.
@dvoloshyn if you're still experiencing this problem and want to continue the discussion just leave a comment here and we are happy to re-open this.
Bug report
await Firebase.initializeApp()
takes significant time drastically slowing down the app startup while not being CPU bound. All the examples on the Internet are running this in themain()
function so it's expected to be fast. Google Play Pre-launch report warns about slow startup on low end devices (in my case it took 7.5 seconds till first frame). If there are some tricks that could reduce this time they should be clearly documented. (I do not consider async init after first frame a viable option as it would greatly complicate the app structure).Steps to reproduce
