SpeechToText API keeps crashing Firebase firestore due to protobuf-lite conflict.

[tiancaidao]

Cannot use the speech to text api and firestore together, anyone succeed?

'com.google.cloud:google-cloud-speech:0.83.0-beta with protobuf-java com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:17.1.1 with protobuf-lite

I have to exclude protobuf lite in firestore, but firestore keeps crashing and give strange error.

here's error, but actually the exception does not make any sense, I'm using Firestore in the correct way, since it works if I remove Speech to Text API.
