React-native-firebase: Could not reach Cloud Firestore backend. iOS device

Created on 18 Jun 2020 · 14Comments · Source: invertase/react-native-firebase

Issue

While getting a document on firestore in the iOS i keep receiving this error:
Could not reach Cloud Firestore backend. Connection failed 1 times. Most recent error: failed to connect to all addresses

It was fetching normally using the simulator, but when i was going to the iOS device the problem was happening.

After I created this post and tried to use the simulator with a realtime fetch the samething happens.
This error is shown on the xcode run output log

This typically indicates that your device does not have a healthy Internet connection at the moment. The client will operate in offline mode until it is able to successfully connect to the backend.

Bug Firestore Stale Waiting for User Response

I'm curious about that AppDelegate.m. Does it have the FIRApp configure? https://rnfirebase.io/#3-ios-setup - you didn't include it

This is a most strange situation, seems like a total failure to integrate - but in a subtle way! You might try examining the output of this throwaway-sample-generator to compare https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/master/make-demo-v6.sh (or just reading it - it is not long and fully commented)

mikehardy on 19 Jun 2020

Oh, i forgot.
Just added to the main comment. Also i removed the
if ([FIRApp defaultApp] == nil) { and just let the [FIRApp configure]; alone over there, nothing changed.

Got it working now. I just completely deleted the app from my device and reinstalled it. Apparently it solved. Wondering why this happened because it was working in the beginning then it stopped and now i needed to do this complete reinstall to get it working

Why closed? This is still an issue. Happened again in a device that was working and for no reason stopped... It seems to be an issue.

Matgsan on 19 Jun 2020

It seems that if you change ANYTHING on the firestore settings through the JS you need to complete delete the app an reinstall it again. Is that the correct behaviour?

Matgsan on 19 Jun 2020

a valid question, I'm not familiar with how the JS settings work but if they for example went into async storage or something and there was bogus caching it would rhyme with this. No idea what's really happening though or even where in the stack the issue would be (upstream in Firebase SDKs, here, ?)

mikehardy on 19 Jun 2020

Same question here, as I am more an RN developer and not an Swift/Java developer I posted this here to get in a discussion about this. I am not sure if this is an RNFirebase issue, a Firebase iOS SDK or ...

Sorry this has languished. If I understand correctly:

if you configure things correctly for firestore normal usage, things work
if you reconfigure to use the emulator, things do not work until you delete / reinstall
if you reconfigure from emulator to use normal (cloud) again, things do not work until delete / reinstall

Is that correct?

Then what I need to know in order to cleanly reproduce this is:

what exactly is reconfigured when switching ?

That way I/we can construct a real test that causes the issue every time, then we can fix.

mikehardy on 31 Aug 2020

I dont know if the bug still occurs but yes, that 3 points are right. About the question about what exactly is reconfigured I dont remember exactly but I was just trying to setup the emulator in my project (I still dont use it because of this bug and because my project is not yet on production).
