Cordova-plugin-firebasex: After upgrading to 6.0.3 getToken stopped to work

[yoldar]

iOS 12.4

I was on 6.0.2 after upgrading to 6.0.3 getToken stopped to work.

Tried in console:
window.FirebasePlugin.getToken();
undefined

[dpa99c]

getToken() (like all plugin methods) returns its result asynchronously via a callback function, hence the synchronous return value is expected to be undefined.

Correct usage as documented is:

window.FirebasePlugin.getToken(function(token) {
    console.log(token);
}, function(error) {
    console.error(error);
});

Please build and run the example project to validate that this is indeed the case.

[yoldar]

Sorry @dpa99c I copied wrong code to issue :) I mean that one:

window.FirebasePlugin.getToken(function(token) { console.log(token); }, function(error) { console.error(error); });

I Xcode logs i can see:

P.s. I really appreciate for your help

[dpa99c]

OK, I will look into it. I've reworked the iOS code quite a bit in v6.0.3 to add top-level try/catch blocks to prevent app crashes so it's possible I've introduced a bug.
I'll do a fresh install of the example project app on an iOS device and see if I can repro this.

[dpa99c]

On a fresh install of the example project app, I don't see the same warning:

Please can you try to build and run the example project app on iOS to confirm whether you can reproduce the issue in a known codebase.

[medevelopment]

hi! thanks for the plugin! works great on Android
but when i got it to work now on iOS, i got the token but the push notifications is not arriving..

the permissions popup was up and i allowed it

any idea?

thanks

update:
@dpa99c thanks! it was the APNs, stopped with no notice at the same time of updating the plugin..

[dpa99c]

@medevelopment check your APNS is configured correctly for Firebase: https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/ios/certs

Also try to build and run the example project app as a known working reference.

[testanddeploy]

I have the same problem on 6.0.3. The getToken method hangs and no returns any error on iOS:

window.FirebasePlugin.getToken(function(firebaseToken) {
console.log('firebasetoken')
}, function(error) {
});

I have already tried with the ionic firebase wrapper and not works.

The APNS certificates areis correctly configurated on firebase with both, dev and prod.

The process to update de plugin was:

-Remove Both platforms
-Remove the firebase plugins(firebasex, androidx, androidx-adapter)
-Add platforms(both latest)
-add plugins again, lates versions

Questions:

-Why tell log that can not locate the GoogleService-Info.plist? The file is located on root folder at the moment of the installation
-Is necessary to have enabled permissions to get a token? On previous versions no
-Is mandatory to remove node_modules folder to update to new version?

Thanks for your time

@medevelopment check your APNS is configured correctly for Firebase: https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/ios/certs

Also try to build and run the example project app as a known working reference.

Hi @dpa99c

Did all steps. Example project also not working(Also checked that in package-lock.json cordova-plugin-firebasex version is 6.0.3). Method getToken returns "undefined".
Forked repo(cordova-plugin-firebasex) and removed commit "Remove google-services.json and GoogleService-Info.plist placeholders." then method getToken() started to work. Could please check why did you remove those files?

[Phrensoua]

Hello! Like @yoldar, I have updated to 6.0.3 and on iOS, it is not registering to Firebase properly. Also, when I install cordova-plugin-firebasex in my Cordova project, the cordova-plugin-googleplus stops working. I got it to work with cordova-plugin-firebasex 6.0.0 using this but now it is not good enough. Any 6.0.4 soon? :) Thanks for the plugin btw!

[dpa99c]

I've just published v6.0.4 which should resolve this (and related) issues.
Please regression test and report any issues in which case I'll reopen this issue.

Hi! I am using v6.07

constructor(public platform: Platform){
   this.platform.ready().then((readySource) => {
      document.addEventListener('deviceready', this.DeviceReady, false);
   }
}

DeviceReady(){
   window.FirebasePlugin.getToken(function(token) {
      console.log(token);
   }, function(error) {
      console.error(error);
    });
}

when i run * ionic cordova run android * and compile on my phone and inspect in the browser

in console i can see next error

When i write in console window.FirebasePlugin return undefined

I have the same problem when the following code

onNotificationOpen() {
      return new Observable(observer => {
            (window as any).FirebasePlugin.onMessageReceived((response) => {
                observer.next(response);
            });
       });
}
...
this.onNotificationOpen().subscribe(data => console.log(`FCM message: ${data}`));

can anybody help me?

[radyash]

@dpa99c I'm getting this error with the version 6.0.7 on android app start:
TypeError: Object(...) is not a function
at FirebaseX.subscribe

It's triggered by this line:
this.firebase.subscribe("all");

Any clues?

[AlessandroBattistini]

Similar problem.

Version 6.1.0 in cordova
Cannot read property 'onTokenRefresh' of undefined.

document.addEventListener("deviceready", pushFirebaseAppReady, false);
function pushFirebaseAppReady() {
    window.FirebasePlugin.onTokenRefresh(function(token) {
        console.log("Refresh Firebase Token: " + token);
        regToken(token);
    });
}

Seems that window.FirebasePlugin remains undefined after deviceready event when using platform browser. No problem in android (tested on device).
