How to fix FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser() in flutter app using firebase_auth package? It is always returning null

Question

I am using the firebase_auth package to implement the authentication functionality in my flutter application and for auto-login of user I need a response from FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser() which is always returning null. They have a Github issue here but it is closed and not have much details.

Here is the link to package description. Do I need to migrate my project to AndroidX to make things work? Is there any other way to make all of this work without migrating a project to AndroidX?

Answer 1

after the update you can use it like this

FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser

instead of FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser()

this will fix the issue
