Why the io/invertase/firebase library use the external storage?

Our Cybersecurity team have reported that in our app the io/invertase/firebase library is using the external storage of the phone. The file reported is this:

ReactNativeFirebaseUtilsModule.java

Please, somebody knows why the external storage is mentioned into that file? I don’t see a permission request from this library to access there, but in that case, Why it mention external storage into that file? I couln’t follow the code to understand it.

Hey there!

I’d like to help but unfortunately it’s not something that is maintained by Auth0 I believe.
