Angularfire: Could not reach Cloud Firestore backend with Angular Universal and Firebase Functions

[maciejtreder]

Version info

Angular: ^6.1.10

Firebase: 5.7.2

AngularFire: 5.1.1

Other (e.g. Ionic/Cordova, Node, browser, operating system): NodeJS (Angular Universal)

How to reproduce these conditions

Steps to set up and reproduce

I am trying to perform a simple request to the Firestore on the server-side (runned on Firebase with 'firebase serve'):

this.afs.doc<any>('myData').valueChanges().subscribe(resp => console.log(resp));

Debug output

* Errors in the JavaScript console *

error: [2019-01-06T12:26:14.371Z]  @firebase/firestore: Firestore (5.5.9): Could not reach Cloud Firestore backend. Backend didn't respond within 10 seconds.
This typically indicates that your device does not have a healthy Internet connection at the moment. The client will operate in offline mode until it is able to successfully connect to the backend.

Getting the same issue when running universal locally too

On Ionic 4 it works fine. Getting the same issue when running cordova on iOS. Version 8.1.2.
