[@react-native-firebase/database] database().ref.on() fires only once after app start. React Native (Android)

[ssobcuk]

Android only! IOS works fine
My subscrition to database changes ( .on() ) works only once after app start, then callback staying untriggered after changes in database. It starts after React Native uptating to 0.76.5.

If i try get info by .once - everything works perfect and i can get last added item

useEffect(() => {
const onValueChange = database()
.ref(/${MODE}/shops/${user.shop.firebaseUserUid})
.on("value", (snapshot) => {
const value = snapshot.val();
console.log(value, 'value') //fires only once!!!

  });

return () =>
  database()
    .ref(`/${MODE}/shops/${user.shop.firebaseUserUid}`)
    .off("value", onValueChange);

}, []);
