Manage cached image after uploading new image to Firebase Storage

See original GitHub issue

Hello. I’m using FirebaseUI-Storage to load user avatar, it’s working great but there is a problem when user change avatar (upload new image to Firebase Storage) and it does not change with next Glide request (it load deprecated image from cache). I don’t want to disable Glide Cache Policy. I think it should work like this:

StorageReference avatarRef = ...
Glide.with(this)
                    .using(new FirebaseImageLoader())
                    .load(avatarRef)
                    .signature(new StringSignature(avatarRef.lastModified()))
                    .into(ivUserAvatar);

But there is no way to get any unique information about this image to set signature. Do you have any ideas ?

I think the Firebase team can easily fix it. Since this lib downloads the image from firebase storage they can verify the cache also. why the cache is not verified? I can not switch to URLs since I am storing user profile picture ref in different documents and collection.

No updates on this? It was opened more than 2 years ago. I am running into the same issue. I want users to only have one avatar so creating new URLs for each upload and deleting the old one seems like a bad workaround.
