Current behavior

App is not loading the remote config with a fresh install and first load.

Expected behavior

App must always load the remote config even with the first load.

Reproduction

none

Steps to reproduce

Uninstall the existing app if any.
Install the fresh app and load the firebase remote config, it's getting loaded with the static (default) values and not fetching it from the server.
Close the app and open it again, it works.

await FirebaseRemoteConfig.fetchConfig({ minimumFetchIntervalInSeconds: 1200, });
await FirebaseRemoteConfig.activate();
const { value } = await FirebaseRemoteConfig.getString({ key: 'key', });

The value is empty.

Other information

In iOS methods, after the implementation it's calling call.resolve() which is causing this issue and not waiting to complete the fetch or activate.

Thank you for reporting this.
I released a dev version for Capacitor 4:

npm i @capacitor-firebase/remote-config@1.4.0-dev.5d562ff.1681878046

The fix will be included in the next official release (Capacitor 5).
