中文步骤

Check if Firebase is already initialized before calling initializeApp: `if (Firebase.apps.isEmpty) { await Firebase.initializeApp(); }`.

Initialize Firebase only once in the main() function before runApp: `WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized(); await Firebase.initializeApp(); runApp(MyApp());`.

Use a singleton pattern to wrap Firebase initialization and prevent duplicate calls.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

90% fail
Each call attempts to reinitialize, causing the 'already exists' error on subsequent calls.
80% fail
Ignoring the error may lead to duplicate Firebase instances and unexpected behavior.
95% fail
Firebase apps cannot be deleted programmatically; this approach is not supported.
