[firebase_app_check]: The new Firebase App Check token is not being updated in Firestore and other services that have App Check enforced. about flutterfire

@russellwheatley Thank you for looking into it! If that's how it works by design, then it's a big issue for apps that use App Check, because applications could potentially cut functionality for 2-3% of their user base without even realizing it. And these are legit iOS and Android devices. This is especially concerning now when Google is heavily pushing App Check with Gemini AI. For now, the only feasible option is to disable App Check and rely only on security rules. Once I disabled App Check, 95% of all permission related issues in Crashlytics went away.

What's the best way to reach out to them, is this a good link?

It might be worth asking on Stack Overflow as you could get advise on how to circumvent it perhaps 🤔

@eli1stark - I created a pure android implementation of the same setup:https://github.com/russellwheatley/firebase-android-project

It took some time (around 5 mins) for the firestore request to be successful. This was also the case when I tested the flutter app check example app. Might be worth asking Firebase support if this is intended behaviour as it appears that this is how it works.
