Ionic-native: Ionic 4: Blank screen when using ionic native firebase

[icchio]

I'm submitting a ...
[x] bug report
[ ] feature request

Current behavior:
Blank screen at startup after app loading

Steps to reproduce:
Starting from a clean Ionic 4 project.
First build work fine then adding @ionic-native/firebase (and cordova-plugin-firebase) show the problem.
No error on building just on the chrome console

index.js:530 Uncaught TypeError: Object(...) is not a function at index.js:530 at Object../node_modules/@ionic-native/firebase/index.js (index.js:747) at __webpack_require__ (bootstrap:81) at Object../src/app/app.module.ts (app.component.ts:11) at __webpack_require__ (bootstrap:81) at Object../src/main.ts (environment.ts:15) at __webpack_require__ (bootstrap:81) at Object.0 (main.ts:12) at __webpack_require__ (bootstrap:81) at checkDeferredModules (bootstrap:43)

and on safari

TypeError: Object(_ionic_native_core__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_1__["Cordova"]) is not a function. (In 'Object(_ionic_native_core__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_1__["Cordova"])()', 'Object(_ionic_native_core__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_1__["Cordova"])' is an instance of Object)

Related code:
I just import the plugin on the app.module

import { Firebase } from '@ionic-native/firebase';

....
providers:[
 ....,
 Firebase,
 .....
]

Hi, as you are using ionic 4 which is still in beta, have you installed the beta version of the firebase module ?

npm install --save @ionic-native/firebase@beta

I see that your import line is

import { Firebase } from '@ionic-native/firebase';

However, the firebase plugin (and I guess every ionic-native plugin) should now be imported this way

import { Firebase } from '@ionic-native/firebase/ngx';

I hope that can help you !

also applies to other native imports, perhaps print it on a billboard somewhere
