FirebaseApp.configure() triggers "Slow launches" warning on Xcode 16 / iOS 18

[alex-vasenin]

Description

I just switched to Xcode 16 and iOS 18 and running my app on the device started producing following runtime warnings on every app start:

/Pods/FirebaseCrashlytics/Crashlytics/Crashlytics/FIRCLSUserDefaults/FIRCLSUserDefaults.m:288 Performing I/O on the main thread can cause slow launches. This is known to cause slow launches for your users.

/Users/alexvasenin/Documents/MeteorActive/Pods.nosync/FirebaseCore/FirebaseCore/Sources/FIRApp.m:348 Performing I/O on the main thread can cause slow launches. This is known to cause slow launches for your users.

The first warning appears one time while the second one is repeated 6 times. All of the stack traces go through [FIRApp configure]. I did a quick test and indeed I found a call to FirebaseApp.configure() takes about 400-600ms on iPhone 15. However, I found if the debugger is NOT attached, the call takes only ~30ms, so it looks like the multiple stack unwinding takes the most time.

Having 7 runtime warnings without a good reason is bad. Please help to solve or silence this warnings.
