[Bug] Unable to Fetch Updated Data from Firebase Remote Config without Restart

Bắt đầu với Firebase C++ quickstart remote_config/testapp và common_main.cc đã sửa đổi được hiển thị trong báo cáo. Chạy quy trình tái hiện với minimum_fetch_interval_in_milliseconds được đặt thành 0, gọi Fetch(0), thay đổi giá trị trên console và so sánh kết quả của các lần gọi Fetch và Activate lặp lại. Được xem là hoàn tất khi dữ liệu Remote Config đã cập nhật được trả về mà không cần khởi động lại ứng dụng.

[REQUIRED] Please fill in the following fields:

• Pre-built SDK from the open-source from this repo: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-cpp-sdk/releases/tag/v12.0.0
• Firebase C++ SDK version: 12.0.0
• Problematic Firebase Component: Remote Config (Auth, Database, etc.)
• Other Firebase Components in use: No (Auth, Database, etc.)
• Platform you are using the C++ SDK on: Mac (Mac, Windows, or Linux)
• Platform you are targeting: desktop (iOS, Android, and/or desktop)

[REQUIRED] Please describe the issue here:

We are experiencing an issue where our application is unable to fetch updated data from Firebase Remote Config. Despite setting the .minimum_fetch_interval_in_milliseconds to 0 and calling Fetch(0), the application continues to retrieve outdated data until it is restarted.

According to the source code, these steps should be sufficient to fetch the new data immediately. However, changes made to the Firebase Remote Config are not reflected in the app until a restart is performed.

In the attached example (a modified example from https://github.com/firebase/quickstart-cpp/tree/main/remote_config/testapp), I have added 5 attempts to fetch new data with a delay. During the timeout, I change values in the remote config. Below is the output log from the example

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set up Firebase Remote Config from https://github.com/firebase/quickstart-cpp/tree/main/remote_config/testapp.
2. Change common_main.cc to provided below or from attached archive.
3. Set .minimum_fetch_interval_in_milliseconds = 0.
4. Call Fetch(0) to fetch new data.
5. Change values in the Firebase Remote Config console.
6. Attempt to fetch the updated data multiple times with a delay between each attempt.
7. Observe that the fetched data remains the same (old data) until the application is restarted.

Have you been able to reproduce this issue with just the Firebase C++ quickstarts ?
Yes
What's the issue repro rate? (e g 100%, 1/5 etc)
100%

What happened? How can we make the problem occur?
