Is there a correct way to await safely? I'm interacting with Firebase Auth methods that return

Task<Void>

and would like a way to synchronously execute them while catching certain exceptions they might throw. I'm having trouble finding the right terms to lookup some of the behaviour, so I'd appreciate anyone setting me in the right direction!

If you add this dependency:

implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-play-services:1.4.1'

Then you can call await on Tasks like this:

try {
   task.await()
} catch (e: Exception) {
}

excellent - thank you for the example!
