Nativescript-plugin-firebase: iOS app closing right after launch without errors (Xcode emulator iphone X ios 11.2)

It doesn't show any error when the apps starts or when refreshing by a code change. It does show ALOT of errors when running tns run ios after a fresh tns platform add ios (see below). However the build still completes successfully, yet the app won't start:

I've been searching for this issue all they yesterday but didn't find any solutions. I've also tried all the know issue solutions in the Readme. Anybody knows whats going on?

Full code can be found here https://github.com/TimoWestland/watchbucket/tree/feature/auth

I can't find where you require the plugin. I expected it in main.ts before the call to start the app.

Also, please remove any unneeded features (like Invites) from https://github.com/TimoWestland/watchbucket/blob/feature/auth/firebase.nativescript.json, then remove the platforms/ios folder and build again.

Hi Eddy,

Thanks for your quick reply.
I had removed all firebase implementation code from my project because I was testing if that would fix the problem (it didn't).

I've just scaffolded a new clean TNS project and the error also occurs there before adding this plugin, so the error is probably with my firebase installation and not with your plugin. So you can close this issue. Thanks for the reply anyway :)

Unfortunately, I am getting the exact same issue as this. A fresh app, plugin install and initialised... nothing else going on. The App launches then straight after the startup screen crashes with no errors on iOS simulator. I have disabled all firebase features. I too get a lot of errors during build but the app installs.

Me to, I have tried both blank installation from SideKick and also the hello world that is showed in the start video. The app works before installing the firebase plugin right after it show upp with this warnings of "directory not found" and so on. This happens even before I add the require plugin string

Any ideas?

[syedibrahimt]

I've installed Firebase authentication before and it was working fine but lastly, I installed Firebase/Storage (Steps using rnFirebase documentation) and now the app is installing with BUILD SUCCEED but not launching.

Unfortunately, I'm facing similar problems here.
