[🐛] Bug Report - bucket not being found on Android

Comienza revisando la configuración de Firebase Storage descrita en package.json, google-services.json, android/build.gradle y android/app/build.gradle; después reproduce el error de URL gs:// en Android. Compara el comportamiento de Android con el comportamiento funcional de iOS; se considera terminado cuando Firebase Storage recupera archivos correctamente en Android sin el error reportado.

🔥 Issue: Firebase Storage - [storage/unknown] Please use a gs:// URL for your Firebase Storage bucket on Android

Issue

I'm encountering an issue with Firebase Storage on Android where the error [storage/unknown] Please use a gs:// URL for your Firebase Storage bucket is thrown. This issue only occurs on Android; the iOS version works correctly.
Realtime database, app-check and analytics all work correctly as well.

I've verified that the google-services.json file is correctly configured, and the storage bucket is correctly recognized by Firebase, as evidenced by logging storageRef.bucket, which returns app.appspot.com. However, despite the correct configuration, Firebase Storage fails to retrieve files on Android, throwing the aforementioned error.
