Cordova-plugin-firebase: Hanging on launch

[MarkMark]

Hey,

I built my app today and noticed it was hanging badly on start up.
If i wait long enough it would eventually load up (around 3 - 4 mins).

Removed all plugins & app worked fine added everything one by one and its this plugin that causes the hang.
Removed all other plugins bar firebase and still get a hang

I have latest android SDK's
up to date Cordova
I've updated this plugin to .12 and still getting it

This plugins worked 100% up until today. Any ideas?

Cheers

what platform? what does the log say. what version were you on before, when it was working?

Which version of Android? I began noticing a similar issue today where my cordova app using this plugin would hang after I upgraded to 7.0.

From my logcat:

...

One of the only references I could find was on StackOverflow. Also, this related to Firebase Crash could be of interest.

Maybe unrelated, but my symptoms are similar, just posting incase it's helpful.

This is happening on Android 6.0.1 & also 7.0

I only use firebase for the push notifications & was running .10 fine with no problems, seemed like it happened overnight after i did some minor HTML changes and published. Tried to update to the latest -v .12 and still getting the same.
Double checked the json files, their in the platform with the correct info.

Im not fully sure what to look out for though so i put the whole log in a gist up until the phone crashed here.

[robertarnesson]

what if you go back to .10, does it work?

[MarkMark]

No that doesn't work

[MarkMark]

Just reading up on @madebydavid Firebase crash post. Perhaps it could be something due to this? If i wait for long enough my app eventually does start then after that the app will start normally? I cant actually remove the dependency as it keeps getting re-injected, but what do you think?

[MarkMark]

Hey @robertarnesson I just got it to work.
In platforms/android/project.properties I removed the line cordova.system.library.6=com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:+.

Seems like we'l need to wait untill Google releases a fixed version of the GPS before enabling Firebase Crash again

[guyromb]

I have the same issue on Android 4.4.4
@hisshash indeed what you've suggested fixed the issue for me.
I removed it from the plugin.xml for both iOS and Android for now.

Hello,

I would like to integrate firebase in my phonegap build app for iOS and Android. I am very apprehensive to use this because of this issue.

I find this issue to be fixed in Firebase Status Dashboard (Check below link). I would like to get confirmation from you if you find this issue to be resolved.

Waiting for your response.
