Firebase / initializeApp() about create_flutter_provider_app

[arturjnt]

Seems I have "fixed" the problem, in what I admit is a non-ideal way.
Here's the workaround

Create a lib/restart_app.dart

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class RestartWidget extends StatefulWidget {
  RestartWidget({required this.child});

  final Widget child;

  static void restartApp(BuildContext context) {
    context.findAncestorStateOfType<_RestartWidgetState>()!.restartApp();
  }

  @override
  _RestartWidgetState createState() => _RestartWidgetState();
}

class _RestartWidgetState extends State<RestartWidget> {
  Key key = UniqueKey();

  void restartApp() {
    setState(() {
      key = UniqueKey();
    });
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return KeyedSubtree(
      key: key,
      child: widget.child,
    );
  }
}

Import it in lib/main.dart and lib/main_prod.dart and surround the MyApp widget with it.

RestartWidget(
  child: MyApp(
    databaseBuilder: (_, uid) => FirestoreDatabase(uid: uid),
    key: Key('wdev'),
  ),
),

Import lib/restart_app.dart also in lib/ui/setting/setting_screen.dart and replace these three lines

Navigator.pop(context);
Navigator.of(context).pushNamedAndRemoveUntil(
  Routes.login, ModalRoute.withName(Routes.login));

with

RestartWidget.restartApp(context);

What this does, is re-start the app which in itself restarts the FirestoreDatabase which uses the uid gotten only once on app start.
This way, on logout, the database is reset to the initial state (no user logged in).

Again, this isn't great, but it works.

@arturjnt hello there. Thanks a lot for sharing this and also the details info. The RestartWidget seems to be a quick fix.

Very sorry for late response, was working on another projects. I'm open up to anyone that are interested to continue improving this open project.

I also have been encountering the same issues. I had a good chuckle to myself when I saw that someone had the exact same issues and we even implemented the same kind of fixes even though I hadn't taken a look at this post.
