Flutter_Bloc 8 and Firebase Verify Email -- Clear Prior State? - flutter

Question

I am trying to utilize FirebaseAuth's verify email functionality in my Flutter app. I'm using Flutter_BLoC 8. The code works, but when I verify the email address by clicking the link in the generated email, the prior state is apparently still buffered in my app and I need to click TWICE on the 'Continue' button to proceed to the Home Screen.
Here's my code:
ElevatedButton(
onPressed: () async {
context.read<EmailVerificationBloc>().add(const IsEmailVerified());
final isVerified = context.read<EmailVerificationBloc>().state;
if (isVerified == const EmailVerificationState.verified()) {
context.router.replace(const HomeRoute());
} else {
showErrorFlash(context, 'Email Is Not Verified');
}
},
child: const Center(
child: Text('Continue'),
),
),
Here's the BLoC event:
Future<void> _onIsEmailVerified(IsEmailVerified event, Emitter emit) async {
final successOrFailure = await _authRepository.isUserEmailVerified();
successOrFailure.fold(
(failure) {
emit(EmailVerificationState.error(failure));
},
(success) {
if (success) emit(const EmailVerificationState.verified());
},
);
}
And lastly, here's the repository method that's being called:
Future<Either<AuthFailure, bool>> isUserEmailVerified() async {
try {
await _currentUser!.reload(); // We will only call on authenticated users, so we don't expect null
return right(_currentUser!.emailVerified);
} on FirebaseAuthException catch (e) {
final error = e.code;
switch (error) {
case 'network-request-failed':
return left(const AuthFailure.noNetworkConnection());
default:
return left(const AuthFailure.unexpectedError());
}
} on PlatformException {
return left(const AuthFailure.unexpectedError());
}
}
Any ideas on how I can, for lack of a better term, flush the prior state? I'm sort of new to Flutter and BLoC, so I'm hopeful it's a relatively easy thing I'm just overlooking.
Thanks in advance.
