Ian from Firebase Support has also verified the issue started with v8.2.0 of the Node.js Admin SDK

problem:

• ".info/serverTimeOffset" does not work anymore firebase-js-sdk#2043
• doesn't seem to have a corresponding issue listed in firebase-admin, but this definitely is an issue in the latest [email protected] -- hence filing this issue, per Firebase Support suggestion.

workaround is:

• downgrade to [email protected] + firebase/[email protected] using yarn dependencies

env:

• Operating System version: runtime is in firebase functions
• Firebase SDK version: whatever comes with [email protected]
• Firebase Product: firebase-admin
• Node.js version: 8.15.0
• NPM version: 6.9.0

Steps to reproduce:

• try to use .info/serverTimeOffset, and it fails as described in ".info/serverTimeOffset" does not work anymore firebase-js-sdk#2043

seems that firebase-admin is just a meta-package, and something went wrong around 8.2.0
