[firebase-messaging] IOException: Invalid argument for the given fid

[mikezliu]

Environment

• Android Studio version: 2024.3.1 Patch 2 Meerkat
• Firebase Component: Firebase BOM 33.13.0
• Component version: com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging 24.1.1

The problem

We are seeing a large increase in the following error:
IOException: Invalid argument for the given fid. (stack trace below)

This started happening at around April 15 with no changes to the client side code. Here is a screenshot from Crashlytics:

It only reproduces on a small % of devices and I cannot reproduce locally. The users that have hit this issue say that it doesn't occur on all their devices. On the devices where the issue occurs, re-installing the app does not fix the issue.

Relevant code

FirebaseMessaging.getInstance().token

Stack Trace:

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

Hi @mikezliu, thank you for reaching out. Does this issue only occur on specific devices or versions?

You mentioned that the issue occurs without any code changes, so I'm thinking if this could be a server side issue. Looking through the graph you shared, it looks like the occurrence is decreasing. Could you confirm?

[mikezliu]

The issue seems to have been resolved over the weekend with no client side changes. I've confirmed with different users that they don't see the error anymore.

Thank you for your update. With that, I'll be closing this issue now. Let me know if there's any misunderstanding so we can reopen the issue. Thanks!
