Is this an issue with Firebase plugin ? I can't seem to understand what exactly your issue is. You seem to have lot of 3rd party plugins in above comment.
Please provide flutter doctor -v and minimal code sample that shows the issue you are facing.

[saravananmnm]

Yes @darshankawar.
i think this is a Backward compatibility issue with plugins (v1).
