Analytics library causes a null reference exception to occur when calling SecureStorage.Default.GetAsync(string)

[MaxxDelusional]

I am not sure what is happening under the hood, but after adding Plugin.Firebase.Analytics (3.1.0) to my Maui application, calls to SecureStorage.Default.GetAsync(key) now throw a null reference exception.

Csproj

<ItemGroup Condition="'$(TargetFramework)' == 'net9.0-ios' OR '$(TargetFramework)' == 'net9.0-android'">
    <PackageReference Include="Plugin.Firebase.Analytics" Version="3.1.0" />
</ItemGroup>
<ItemGroup Condition="$([MSBuild]::GetTargetPlatformIdentifier('$(TargetFramework)')) == 'android'">
    <GoogleServicesJson Include="Platforms\Android\google-services.json" Link="google-services.json" />
</ItemGroup>
<ItemGroup Condition="$([MSBuild]::GetTargetPlatformIdentifier('$(TargetFramework)')) == 'ios'">
    <BundleResource Include="Platforms\iOS\GoogleService-Info.plist" Link="GoogleService-Info.plist" />
</ItemGroup>
	

Initialization code

public static MauiAppBuilder UseFirebaseAnalytics(this MauiAppBuilder builder)
{

	builder.ConfigureLifecycleEvents(events =>
	{
#if IOS
		events.AddiOS(iOS => iOS.FinishedLaunching((app, launchOptions) =>
		{
			Plugin.Firebase.Core.Platforms.iOS.CrossFirebase.Initialize();
			return false;
		}));
#elif ANDROID
		events.AddAndroid(android => android.OnCreate((activity, bundle) => {

			Plugin.Firebase.Core.Platforms.Android.CrossFirebase.Initialize(activity);
		}));
#endif
	});
	return builder;

}

I tried adding the following as per docs, but it didn't make a difference.

<ItemGroup Condition="$([MSBuild]::GetTargetPlatformIdentifier('$(TargetFramework)')) == 'android'">
    <PackageReference Include="Xamarin.AndroidX.Core" Version="1.15.0.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="Xamarin.AndroidX.Collection" Version="1.4.5.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="Xamarin.AndroidX.Collection.Ktx" Version="1.4.5.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="Xamarin.AndroidX.Activity.Ktx" Version="1.9.3.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="Xamarin.AndroidX.Browser" Version="1.8.0.7" />
    <PackageReference Include="Xamarin.AndroidX.Lifecycle.LiveData.Core" Version="2.8.7.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="Xamarin.AndroidX.Lifecycle.LiveData.Core.Ktx" Version="2.8.7.1" />
</ItemGroup>

I am using .Net 9. I have only tried this on Android (so far).

This is very strange. Can you share a minimal repro project?
