Firebase – Flutter App Crashes on Windows 10 While Listening to a Document with Cloud Firestore

When I run my Flutter application on Windows 10 x64, the app crashes while listening to a document with cloud_firestore. There are no debug messages shown. Is there anyone experiencing this problem or knowing a solution?
Details are below.

Reproducing the issue

Create Flutter Project for only windows platform
flutter create --org com.clipnavi --description 'test' --platforms windows --template app test
add firebase project
dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli
flutterfire configure --project=clipspace1 check only windows and enter.
pub add
flutter pub add firebase_core
flutter pub add cloud_firestore
Open project folder with vs code.
main.dart:

import 'package:firebase_core/firebase_core.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:test/firebase_options.dart';
import 'package:test/my_home_page.dart';

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  await Firebase.initializeApp(
    options: DefaultFirebaseOptions.currentPlatform,
  );
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return const MaterialApp(
      home: MyHomePage(),
    );
  }
}

my_home_page.dart:

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyHomePage({super.key});

  @override
  State<MyHomePage> createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();

    FirebaseFirestore.instance
        .collection("status")
        .doc("eELQ6vSdSPcgM5Ha3RTyHKtBPBl1")
        .snapshots()
        .listen(
      (document) {
        print("No problem 1");
        print("current data: ${document.data()}");
      },
      onError: (error) => print("Listen failed: $error"),
    );
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Center(
      child: Text("test"),
    );
  }
}

    This is a fatal problem for flutter windows application. I have a better solution but this is not the actual solution. Firebase and Flutter’s need to solve this problem. Now my temporary solution is clear Fire store cache on application starting before runApp() invoke. This is like:

    Future<void> main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  await Firebase.initializeApp(
    options: DefaultFirebaseOptions.currentPlatform,
  );
  await clearFirestoreCache();
  runApp(const App());
}

Future<void> clearFirestoreCache() async {
  try {
    await FirebaseFirestore.instance.clearPersistence();
    print("Firestore cache cleared successfully.");
  } catch (e) {
    print("Failed to clear Firestore cache: $e");
  }
}

    This may not work some machine.

    it’s not a solution but it could give someone a hint about what to do
    I have deleted the folders (firebase-heartbeat, ) in the %LOCALAPPDATA% and run the app it works then of you close it the problem will raise again

    but deleting the folders each time you run the app is not a good solution
