[cloud_functions] Timeout doesn't work on android

[noelmansour]

The android code references timeoutMilliseconds:

https://github.com/FirebaseExtended/flutterfire/blob/bfc666daa89698c9fdc342e7ae521ec5e4e8ec5b/packages/cloud_functions/android/src/main/java/io/flutter/plugins/firebase/cloudfunctions/CloudFunctionsPlugin.java#L52

but the dart code passes timeoutMicroseconds:

https://github.com/FirebaseExtended/flutterfire/blob/bfc666daa89698c9fdc342e7ae521ec5e4e8ec5b/packages/cloud_functions/lib/src/https_callable.dart#L38

The android plugin should use the parameter timeoutMicroseconds and should also use TimeUnit.MICROSECONDS instead of TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.

Actually, it looks like the setTimeout() functionality was broken in the firebase-functions android lib 17.0.0 (the version cloud_functions uses). See firebase/firebase-android-sdk#604

In addition to fixing the parameter issue mentioned above, the android library should be upgraded to 19.0.1.

I'd be happy to open a PR for this, but not sure if library upgrades require a special review.

I'm experiencing timeouts in Flutter after 5-10 seonds, with the DEADLINE_EXCEEDED error, even though the Firebase Function completes successfully and reports no error.

I came across this Stack Overflow post, reporting the problem in the Android functions library:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56977242/firebase-functions-gives-timeout-on-client-side-after-10s

It seems that an upgrade to the newest Android functions library would solve this problem.

@noelmansour do you know of any workaround for this, while we wait for the update?

[noelmansour]

You'd have to fork this repo and make the changes I described in the comments. Then use that as the cloud_functions plugin for your project.

I'm experiencing this also. Do we need to create a new issue for this to get it addressed?

Has this been resolved yet? I need to call cloud functions...
