🐛 Bug Report

occasionally this error is generated when initializing CacheManager with JsonCacheInfoRepository

Fatal Exception: io.flutter.plugins.firebase.crashlytics.FlutterError: FormatException: Unexpected end of input (at character 1)

^

       at .jsonDecode(dart:convert)
       at JsonCacheInfoRepository._readFile(json_cache_info_repository.dart:143)
       at JsonCacheInfoRepository.open(json_cache_info_repository.dart:40)
       at new CacheStore.<fn>(cache_store.dart:34)

This happens when the {databaseName}.json file is created but empty and jsonString = ""

JsonCacheInfoRepository.dart: _readFile()
final json = jsonDecode(jsonString) as List<dynamic>;

A possible solution would be to check that the file is not empty before decoding the json

    if (await file.exists() && await file.length() > 0) {
      try {
        final jsonString = await file.readAsString();
        final json = jsonDecode(jsonString) as List<dynamic>;

note: I don't know why the json file is empty and not with an empty list []

Expected behavior

no error
