React-native-firebase: 🔥🔥 [Firebase/Core] Configuration failed in iOS

[archansel]

Issue

I follow the guidelines for setting up firebase with crashlytics, Android works fine but iOS stuck on verifying firebase installation.

The crashlytics tabs on console correctly display crashes though

When I run the project from XCode it says

Setting up RNFirebase instance 2017-03-18 23:29:35.861 wishlizt[2927] <Error> [Firebase/Core][I-COR000003] The default Firebase app has not yet been configured. Add [FIRApp configure] to your application initialization

I found this old issue #10 but it seems the demo app is already gone

Triggering crash with this code

const testCrash = () => {
  console.log("Crashing...")
  crashlytics().log("Test Message!")
  crashlytics().recordError(new Error("Test Error!"))
  crashlytics().crash()
}

Strange. I see the configure line there in AppDelegate.m
npx react-native-clean-project and retry perhaps?

Also unless you have debugging turned on for crashlytics and then do a crash on purpose it won't communicate, and even then unless you send the dSYMs manually it probably won't have them (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54577202/how-to-run-upload-symbols-to-upload-dsyms-as-a-part-of-xcode-build-process/55796619#55796619) and even then you'll need to make sure to restart the app after the crash or it won't send etc etc

It does work though, this will in the end be a problem with your local project and how you're using crashlytics, which sounds unfriendly but is not intended that way - just focuses on where to look for the issue

[archansel]

What strange is, I DO get the crash report, but failed to finish firebase installation verification process, hence don't have any data aside from the crash report

I think it's not missing dSYMs problem and as a matter of fact, it's not even crashlytics problem

I'll try to set up another project using basic react native and with the boilerplate I'm currently using (https://github.com/infinitered/ignite-bowser)

[mikehardy]

can always give a look to https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/master/make-demo-v6.sh for throwaway example

[archansel]

I have tried some projects, but stills failed on me

npx react-native-clean-project

• on my existing project still not working

npx react-native init AwesomeProject

• firebase app
• android -> installation not verified
• ios -> installation not verified

npx react-native init AwesomeProject

• firebase app + crashlytics
• android -> installation not verified
• ios -> installation not verified

ignite new MyApp -b bowser (using ignite boilerplate)

• firebase app
• android -> installation verified
• ios -> installation not verified

last but not least, using your throwaway example script

• firebase app
• android -> installation verified
• ios -> installation not verified
  Note
• Follow set up document from https://rnfirebase.io/ and https://rnfirebase.io/crashlytics/usage
• run on both ios and android simulator via react-native run-<platform>
• Error [Firebase/Core][I-COR000003] The default Firebase app has not yet been configured shows in all project if I run in XCode

[mikehardy]

Let me verify that crashes are reported successfully for iOS

Please define exactly what you mean by "working instantly" and "not working" - do you mean the firebase console saying it is integrated?

I must admit I'm not interested in that much. I am very interested if "working instantly" vs "not working" means "I added a 'crash now' button to my app, turned on debug crash reporting, verified my dSYMs were uploaded, triggered a crash, reopened my app, and the crash was not reported". That's what I am going to test - actual success reporting a crash

[archansel]

Sorry for the bad choice of words, I already updated my comment

During firebase installation verification process (image in issue desc), verified means apps connected (or integrated) to firebase dashboard and can do bunch of features like retention etc, and the loading bar will immediately change to success

For installation not verified, verification process takes forever

[archansel]

My requirement actually just reporting a crash, as long as the console can show crash report (which already did), I'm fine with it

I'm opening this issue just out of curiosity because I haven't use firebase that extensively to involve all its features. I don't really know whether this problem will affect other firebase features aside from crash reporting

[mikehardy]

If it's reporting crashes correctly, whether the console verifies or not is immaterial I think. It is not a great developer experience and could perhaps use a documentation note here (PR's happily accepted!) but that's more about the console reporting. Might be worth logging an upstream bug with them

[thecoorum]

@mikehardy I've opened a similar issue previously and now I noticed that even the auth module is working without connecting app to Firebase services. So this is RNFirebase or Firebase issue, what do you think?

[mikehardy]

Firebase issue, to me. There is no way the "auth module is working" unless it is "connecting app to Firebase services", so if it is connecting (because if not it would not be working!?) then why isn't their little setup "we are trying to help you get set up" indicator working? No idea

[cloudratha]

Digging deeper into this...

Assuming you have the following in your AppDelegate.m:

if ([FIRApp defaultApp] == nil) {
    [FIRApp configure];
}

It looks like calling [FIRApp defaultApp] when the app is not configured throws the error you see.
https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk/blob/6d08f1034ff9fe3eb1510e8181c6377747d5e44f/FirebaseCore/Sources/FIRApp.m#L245

It then will continue to configure the app successfully afterwards. I've removed the defaultApp check and now following google's recommendation and calling [FIRApp configure] directly. Until they make isDefaultAppConfigured a public method.

With regards to the console verification, I found as soon as I added @react-native-firebase/analytics, the app verified.

But I could be completely wrong...

[mikehardy]

Very interesting report about console verification working when you add the analytics package. That intuitively explain (or causes me to have confirmation bias, take your pick) that more people are excluding analytics (privacy concerns, also it's more possible) but it's relatively new that you can really disentangle all that stuff on the Google side, so perhaps their console doesn't handle it well yet.

This definitely seems like an upstream issue to me. They may not be able to tell without analytics integrated, but there should be a note on the console during verification saying as much ("if you have not opted to use analytics, the console will not automatically verify your app is connected, you may proceed to the console...")

[cloudratha]

@mikehardy Tracked down confirmation from the horse’s mouth. https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk/issues/2838#issuecomment-483849251

[mikehardy]

Mmm - they've known about it for a while, if there is some place in react-native-firebase docs that specifically prompts people that they should be expecting this - or where ever it is where the docs hand people off to look at the console it might help a lot of people if you did a quick PR mentioning without analytics things will work but they will never see confirmation, and a link to that comment (which is gold, great find)

[cloudratha]

This is the instructions provided by the console during app registration.

# add the Firebase pod for Google Analytics
pod 'Firebase/Analytics'
# add pods for any other desired Firebase products
# https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/setup#available-pods

That’s what triggered me to realise analytics was a factor. Also realised you don’t need core to use analytics.

I don’t think the SDK has any reference to the registration process. I’ll make a issue and hopefully they can make the verification step clearer. Hopefully this helps you close a few issues related to RN users trying to setup firebase and think they doing something wrong.

I’ll look at a PR for docs here as well.

[thecoorum]

@cloudratha you were right, after installing and including analytics in the project, an app was successfully registered
