Protobuf exception - InvalidProtocolBufferException

[remiwaw]

Describe the bug
We’re seeing a lot of exceptions in Sentry. The stack traces don’t mention the GetStream library, but our app doesn’t use Protobuf directly — nor do any of our other dependencies.

Given the missing information in the stack trace (the triggering event may have happened on a different thread), I can’t be completely sure this is a GetStream issue. Could you verify whether other clients have experienced similar issues or have any insights on this?

Stacktrace:
