Firebase Auth is failing on Safari 16.1 (destructuring error)

[koush]

• Operating System version: MacOS 13 or iOS 16
• Browser version: Safari 16.1
• Firebase UI version: Latest
• Firebase SDK version: Latest

[REQUIRED] Describe the problem

Firebase UI does not work with Safari on Mac or iPhone.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to https://fir-ui-demo-84a6c.firebaseapp.com/. This is the project's own login demo page.
2. Try to log in on Mac or iPhone.
3. Login hangs.

Additionally: these steps work fine with Chrome on the same Mac.

Relevant Code:

N/A

Seen in console:

TypeError: Right side of assignment cannot be destructured

 async onAuthEvent(event: AuthEvent): Promise<void> {
    // this line
    const { urlResponse, sessionId, postBody, tenantId, error, type } = event;
    if (error) {
      this.reject(error);
      return;
    }

The event it is receiving seems to be a window Message event, and not the JSON contained within data which is what contains the fields to be destructured.

Crosspost from https://github.com/firebase/firebaseui-web/issues/977

I believe the bug is in the js sdk as the relevant file is in this source file: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-js-sdk/blob/b6c231a282313aeda59c447c24f71fdad35240bc/packages/auth/src/core/strategies/abstract_popup_redirect_operation.ts#L86

From my understanding of the stack trace, I think the js sdk uses iframes to communicate, and there's some sort of message passing failure happening.

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

I see this with Safari 16.0 too.. But the modular demo app and the auth-compat demo app from firebase-js-sdk are working ok for me.

Closing this and leaving the firebaseui issue open.

we're seeing the same issue with Safari 16.1 beta and we don't use firebaseui, only standard firebase-js-sdk.

I ended up using a workaround by managing the auth redirects myself. This also provides an offramp for firebase, if you're only using the js sdk for auth. https://github.com/firebase/firebaseui-web/issues/977#issuecomment-1272388412

This should still be open. We are still seeing the issue.

Can also confirm we're seeing this with just the firebase-js-sdk (not using firebaseui).

If it helps, switching tosignInWithPopup works. signInWithRedirect doesn't work.
