Googleplayservicescomponents: GetIdTokenAsync is missing in Xamarin.Firebase.Auth v119.2.0

[amalsher]

FirebaseUser.GetIdTokenAsync was working in version 71.1605.4.
In 119.2.0 I just see GetIdToken method which returns Java.Lang.Object instead of C# object of type Firebase.Auth.GetTokenResult.

@amalsher It appears that was deprecated. You can however, achieve the same result using Xamarin's Gms Task extensions (using Android.Gms.Extensions;):

var tokenResult = await (FirebaseAuth.Instance.CurrentUser.GetIdToken(forceRefresh).AsAsync<GetTokenResult>());

Thanks @tstpierre !
Do you know a reason why it was deprecated?

[tstpierre]

No idea... I just saw it commented out in the source code in this repo and found that .AsAsync to work as a replacement.

Ok, closing this issue as workaround is given.
