Description

I just updated to the latest Visual Studio version and this occured on Flutter 3.24.3 and then I upgraded to 3.24.4 and it was still there. Been running this on every project between tries:

Global

dart pub cache clean --force
flutter update-packages --force-upgrade

Once per project

flutter clean
flutter pub upgrade
flutter pub get

And then I tried adding a simple project with just the firebase_auth package and it simply did not work.

.NET / Visual Studio Versions

dotnet --version = 9.0.100
Visual Studio Community 2022 17.12.0

Will try to rollback to previous DOTNET / VS version to see if there's any change.

Reproducing the issue

flutter create fb_test
cd fb_test
flutter pub add firebase_auth
flutter build windows --debug

Firebase Core version

3.7.0

Flutter Version

3.24.4

Rolled back my version of Visual Studio to 17.11.5 with dotnet version 8.0.403.
Except a million warnings it successfully builds.
No changes to my flutter pub deps -- --style=compact output

[guilhermeeng99]

same here

[tranhuudang]

Haven't see any attempts to fix firebase on windows. My app crash often and still has no clue why or how to fix it. I checked for new update of firebase continuously and what I see is almost like zero fix.

Same Issue.
I tried lot nothing helps.

I tried following solutions.

1. Reinstall the VS2022
2. Downgrade the flutter
3. Flutter_Auth plugin tried versions from 4.16.0 to 5.3.3

Same!

@thedeukalion - thank you for confirming that reverting Visual Studio/Dot not version is a way to circumvent this issue for now 🙏

[AbdelaliAmine]

i have the same problem if any one solve it, please help me

Will the issue be fixed for dotnet 9?

[russellwheatley]

@PrimeTheFirst - I have no idea I'm afraid. I don't have dotnet installed on my machine

how do you rollback to the version 17.11.5 of visual studio?

I see. Is this a flutter auth issue or a visual studio issue? Any idea when it might be fixed??

From what I understand you can only rollback if you have upgraded it from a previous version before. Otherwise Microsoft archives have 17.11.5 update download links for the exe, which isn't working for me. It just says preparing and then closes
@thedeukalion Please guide.

On our side, we managed to workaround the issue on Github Actions with the following steps :

      # Replace Visual Studio 17.12 with 17.10 to workaround Firebase issue

I have the same error. I tried almost everything but couldn't solve it. I just couldn't downgrade the Visual Studio version because it was a new installation and there was no old version already.

@PrimeTheFirst - I have no idea I'm afraid. I don't have dotnet installed on my machine

I see. Is this a flutter auth issue or a visual studio issue? Any idea when it might be fixed??

Is there any progress?

Mine is Visual Studio Community Edition,
As per microsoft forum, they clearly mentioned that community edition could not be downgraded.
