Any update on this?

@dunghoang046, would you have an example code?

We're seeing the same issue reported via Sentry.
This is our code sample (with some irrelevant details removed):

class ACSignalRService {

static final String _signalRRoute = 'XXXXXXXXXX';

HubConnection _connection;

ACSignalRService() {
_connection = HubConnectionBuilder()
.withUrl(
_signalRRoute,
HttpConnectionOptions( ))
.build();
}

void stopConnection() {
_connection.stop();
}

Future startConnection(StreamController streamController) async {
if (_connection.state == HubConnectionState.disconnected) {
await _connection.start();
_connection.on('XXXXXX', (message) {
// doing something here
});
}
}

startConnection is called from somewhere else in our code. If we have an error on our side, it could be called multiple times.
But still, the error reported here, is a cast exception in the libraries code. This is the stack trace:

_CastError: type '_CastError' is not a subtype of type 'Exception' in type cast
