I’m working on a Flutter project with Firebase integration, and I’ve encountered a PlatformException that I’m struggling to resolve. The exception is thrown when the app attempts to load FirebaseOptions from the resource. Here’s the error message:

Exception has occurred.

PlatformException (PlatformException(java.lang.Exception: Failed to load FirebaseOptions from resource. Check that you have defined values.xml correctly., Exception, Cause: null, Stacktrace: java.lang.Exception: Failed to load FirebaseOptions from resource.

I could not find values.xml. I’ve also ensured that Firebase.initializeApp() is called before any other Firebase-related operations.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

Ensuring the values.xml file is correctly placed in the android/app/src/main/res/values directory.
Updating all Firebase dependencies in pubspec.yaml.
Running flutter clean and flutter pub get to clear any potential build issues.
Testing the app on both an emulator and a real device.
