Current Behavior
This causes crash:
try {
const permStatus = await FirebaseMessaging.checkPermissions();
// Logic for storing `permStatus.receive` in react state...
} catch {}

Additional Context
This happens on some Android devices and on other it works. Crash rate is ~50%.
From Crashlytics, the most recent problematic devices are: Galaxy A15 (Android 16), Galaxy S25+ (Android 16), Galaxy A22 5G (Android 13).
I used @capacitor/push-notifications and this crash was happening. After that I completely refactored my code to use @capacitor-firebase/messaging and exact same thing is happening.
