Bug report

@DanishAjaib
Looks like you are hitting #10992, in which you can follow-up for further updates.
There are some workarounds / solutions mentioned in underlying comments that you can check to see if it helps in your case or not.
Also, see this for your reference for windows support for flutterfire plugins.

I'll close this as a duplicate. If you disagree, write in comments and I'll reopen it.

None of these are helping me to fix the issue
i Tried #10992, but still same

[DanishAjaib]

@VarmaTech I was able to use an older version of the package. For now it seems to be the only solution.

@VarmaTech I was able to use an older version of the package. For now it seems to be the only solution.

Which version?

[VarmaTech]

My version

firebase_core: 2.15.0
firebase_messaging: 14.6.5

i tried removing both . still when i start windows app with debugger. On hot reload debugger connect stops .

[DanishAjaib]

2..7.0 .. if you're removing both and still getting an error then there is most likely another package that depends on firebase_core 2.15.0 .. You have make sure no library in your project is using this version.
