  Future uploadImage(BuildContext context) async {
    String fileName = basename(_imageFile.path);
    Reference firebaseStorageRef =
    FirebaseStorage.instance.ref().child('uploads/$fileName');
    UploadTask uploadTask = firebaseStorageRef.putFile(_imageFile);
    TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot = await uploadTask.whenComplete(() => null);
    if (taskSnapshot == null) {
      final String downloadUrl =
      await taskSnapshot.ref.getDownloadURL();
      await FirebaseFirestore.instance.doc(firebaseUser.uid)
          .collection("influncerUser")

First, why to use if (taskSnapshot == null) ? If the taskSnapshot is null you can't fetch the download url, so delete it.

Second, prefer use onComplete instead of .whenComplete(() => null)

Future uploadImage(BuildContext context) async {
String fileName = basename(_imageFile.path);
Reference firebaseStorageRef =
FirebaseStorage.instance.ref().child('uploads/$fileName');
UploadTask uploadTask = firebaseStorageRef.putFile(_imageFile);

// use onComplete to await when the doc has been pushed.
TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot = await uploadTask.onComplete;

final String downloadUrl = await taskSnapshot.ref.getDownloadURL();
await FirebaseFirestore.instance.doc(firebaseUser.uid)
    .collection("influncerUser")
    .add({"imageUrl": downloadUrl,});
setState(() => isLoading = true);

}
