Firebase Remote Config with Chinese characters

Question

Remote Config getString() return different result between version 18.0.0 and version 19.0.0.

I have tried setting

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
systemProp.file.encoding=utf-8

in the gradle.properties

I also tried setting

compileOptions {
    encoding = 'UTF-8'
}

in build.gradle

below is the code snippet

fun getRemoteString(key: String) {
    val wording = FirebaseRemoteConfig.getInstance().getString(key) 
    Log.d(javaClass.simpleName, "wording= $wording")
    return wording
}

I expected Firebase Remote Config return 登入閱讀, just like what 18.0.0 returned but now it returns ç»å¥é±è®, for 19.0.0

Is there any settings I need to config?

Thanks.

I face the same issue.. as a temp solution Im converting the ISO_8859_1 String to UTF-8

newValue = new String(wording.getBytes(StandardCharsets.ISO_8859_1), StandardCharsets.UTF_8)

Thanks. I've also tried this workaround. However, I am wondering if it is always ISO-8859-1 or it would be other encoding? – Byblow

Firebase developer replied that it is a known bug and it will be fixed in next release. I'll mark @Jo 's answer as correct since it temporarily solves my problem for now. – Byblow

as i can see in my app, this solution is no longer needed – Jo

Yes, version 19.0.1 fixed the problem. – Byblow
