Flutter and Google Sing in: Invalid image data - flutter

Question

I have implemented Google Authentication with FlutterFire. I use the official package to sing in users.
However, if I navigate to a page where the user profile picture is seen and try to render the GoogleUserCircleAvatarar, although the page seems to be working just fine, I get an error in the console:
════════ Exception caught by image resource service ════════════════════════════════════════════════
Exception: Invalid image data
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
On the screen, it takes a few milliseconds, to load up the picture. Before it's loaded, I can see the placeholder image (First letter of the users initials on a filled background) next to the user's name and email address (so the currentUser is loaded) which transitions to the user profile picture. As I am using the recommended Widget, I am confused how should I prevent the error from happening.
Code:
if (widget.userService.currentUser != null) {
return Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceAround,
children: <Widget>[
ListTile(
leading: GoogleUserCircleAvatar(
identity: widget.userService.currentUser,
),
title: Text(widget.userService.currentUser.displayName ?? ''),
subtitle: Text(widget.userService.currentUser.email ?? ''),
),
const Text("Signed in successfully."),
RaisedButton(
child: const Text('SIGN OUT'),
onPressed: _handleSignOut,
),
],
);
} else {
...
currentUser object is created with the official API:
currentUser = await GoogleSignIn().signIn();
and my pubspec.yml:
dependencies:
flutter:
sdk: flutter
cloud_firestore: ^0.14.0+1
provider: ^4.3.2+2
google_sign_in: "^4.5.1"
firebase_core: "^0.5.0+1"
firebase_auth: "^0.18.1+2"

This issue should've resolved on the latest version of the google_sign_in plugin. More details of the fix for the issue is discussed on this pull request.
