[@nativescript/firebase-storage] getDownloadURL closes app in IOS without error

I'm using the getDownloadURL in this form:

 firebase().storage().ref(“users/“ + id + "/profilel.png").getDownloadURL().then((url) => {
                console.log("Remote URL: " + url);
            }, (error) => {
                console.log("Error: " + error);
            });

• The image exists in the storage in the path that is passed as parameter in the ref.
• It works like a charm in Android, but in IOS closes the app and doesn't give any feedback.

Version of the plugin

"@nativescript/firebase-core": "^3.2.2",
"@nativescript/firebase-firestore": "^3.2.2",
"@nativescript/firebase-storage": "^3.2.2",
