[🐛] 🔥 On Android, calls to getAppStartupDeepLinkUrl() cause an ObjectAlreadyConsumedException

[hsource]

Issue

We call firebase.dynamicLinks().getInitialLink() on app startup. In our logs, this seems to result in unhandled exceptions sometimes in the Java code.

We run on:

• react-native 0.64.2
• @react-native-firebase/dynamic-links 12.8.0

Here's the stacktrace:

Great report, thanks @hsource
This is related to #5593 which was first released in react-native-firebase v12.6.0, so it will affect all versions between v12.6.0 and current (12.9.3 IIRC)
I think I've got a patch ready will post in a moment

[mikehardy]

You can find a downloadable patch-package patch set here until this is released, I'd love to hear feedback on it if you test integrate this prior to release https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/actions/runs/1382454301
