NativePlugin FirebaseAuthenticationPlugin failed to load

[chrisspiegl]

Hello all, I have been trying to get this package to run in my Android application, and I am stuck at one error.

I have been testing and trying for a few hours… researching… using AI… but to no avail. Maybe one of you has an idea what could be going on here. I have tried to compare to the demo project provided and could not find any significant differences.

My package manager is pnpm and I am the app bundle is in a multi-repo (this specific app code is in hosting/websites/.

🤞 that perhaps someone just looks at this and knows what's going on… otherwise, I am going to try and build a reproduction.

Thank you for taking the time to look at this. I sincerely hope we can figure this out.
