Description

I'm seeing a lot of crashes reported from Crashlytics since firebase_database=12.1.0. This exception did not happen on previous versions, and does not happen if I revert to version 12.0.4 .

The plugin throws a fatal exception upon encountering an unknown platform exception. What I would expect in the first place is that the error does not occur.
In the second place, I'd expect that instead of a fatal exception, the unknown platform exception is caught and converted to a Firebase exception (perhaps internal or unknown) with the underlying error message passed through or reported otherwise.

The stacktrace:

Fatal Exception: FlutterError
type 'String' is not a subtype of type 'Map<dynamic, dynamic>'
          Fatal Exception: FlutterError
0  ???                            0x0 (null).platformExceptionToFirebaseException + 42 (exception.dart:42)
1  ???                            0x0 (null).convertPlatformExceptionToFirebaseException + 27 (exception.dart:27)
2  ???                            0x0 (null).convertPlatformException + 14 (exception.dart:14)
3  ???                            0x0 MethodChannelDatabaseReference.set + 96 (method_channel_database_reference.dart:96)

As you can see, there is a platform exception that is not recognized, and converted into a fatal error with no details instead of a FirebaseException (with details on the underlying error), making it basically impossible to debug from just the stacktrace.

Additional details:

Hi @putnokiabel, we'll need a reproducible example in order to investigate this issue and provide a fix. Otherwise, there isn't much we can do.

@SelaseKay I understand that you cannot investigate the root cause of this issue as there is not enough context.
However, the fact that the error handling is not working correctly on the plugin's end is clear (and does not need to be reproduced in order to be addressed).
If you look for similar issues in the past, you'll find that there have been multiple issues like this:
#16971
#12385

where either the underlying cause of the exception was addressed (but not the broken error handling), or the issue was dismissed due to having no way to reproduce it.

What I'd like is to make it so that when platformExceptionToFirebaseException encounters an unexpected error (e.g. one that has a String as data instead of a map), it throws an error with the proper context (at least the error message of the underlying error), instead of throwing a TypeError that removes all context and is impossible to debug further.
I think such a change would be beneficial to the long-term health of this project as it would reduce debugging time (both for users of the plugins, as well as for your team) whenever there is an unexpected error from the native Firebase plugins.
