@PeterHaddad, i updated the post with my flutter doctor. Just today the problem occurs, Some people posted today on our fb flutter community that they encounter that problem yesterday. So I decided to create fresh project with firebase packages and that happens. So i feel like sharing this if they might encounter the same. — Raine Dale Holgado
