Exception because of missing Activity on Android about plugin.firebase

[TobiasBuchholz]

Hi, thanks for the feedback! :)

The auth part of Plugin.Firebase is using James Montemagno's Plugin.CurrentActivity to handle the current activity and this library gets initialized in the FirebaseAuthImplementation.Initialize(Activity activity, Bundle savedInstanceState, string googleRequestIdToken) method.

The plugin tries to access the current activity by calling CrossCurrentActivity.Current.Activity when needed and if this call returns null the mentioned exception will be thrown. I guess you could try to catch the exception and call the Initialize-method again. I wouldn't consider it as a bug since normal users won't activate "Don't keep activities" in developer settings.

Hope this helps, cheers

OK. At the moment I catch the exception, so no crash occurs anymore. This doe not happen only with the "Don't keep activity" option on. It happens also when you get your app from the background after "some time". I will keep an eye on it and see if I can localise a fix and put it here if I find one.
