Research direction

Start with packages/firebase-auth/index.android.ts around line 1398, where the issue reports the Android signOut return value. Compare the Android behavior with the iOS implementation and confirm the intended boolean versus Promise contract; done means the platform APIs return the agreed value consistently.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hello @NathanWalker and @triniwiz

The signOut on android return undefined instead of boolean! the workaround is fixed by adding async await but this will force us to change the return type to Promise! and if we did we should doing same for IOS as well.
