You attempted to use a firebase module that's not installed natively on your iOS project by calling firebase.auth()

[minuhariharan]

Issue

Describe your issue here

I am using react native version 60 and react native firebase version 5.5.6 and added my application ow requires Firebase storage and Firebase Auth, so I followed the instructions in this link [https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v5.x.x/auth/ios]. What I have tried so far, which did not work:

Just Pod install Just Pod update A combination of both Using Firebase Auth 6.11.0 and 6.3.0

This works fine for the development environment i.e. when I run on the iOS Simulator most of the times, but there as well I have seen this errors a couple of times, so it's not reliable. It is working fine for Android but on iOS I am hitting this issue:

You attempted to use a firebase module that's not installed natively on your iOS project by calling firebase.auth().

Ensure you have the required Firebase iOS SDK pod for this module included in your Podfile, in this instance confirm you've added "pod 'Firebase/Auth'" to your Podfile

See http://invertase.link/ios for full setup instructions.

If you are experiencing inconsistent behavior, especially between debug and release builds on ios, check out the react-native-clean-project module and I highly recommend npx react-native-clean-project clean-project-auto

Secondly, there are just so many ways a project can be integrated incorrectly, I have terrible luck trying to pick them apart. Instead, I've build a script which will take a react-native project from a fresh init, to fully integrating a bunch of modules including the two you mention. You should try it, read the comments for each thing it's doing, and compare the output with your project - you might find the problem? https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/master/make-demo.sh

[minuhariharan]

I already tried the deep clean target that you mentioned in #2697 (comment) but no luck there as well

[alex-mironov]

Apparently I've got a similar issue on iOS:

[Unhandled promise rejection: Error: You attempted to use a firebase module that's not installed nati]ely on your iOS project by calling firebase.analytics().
- node_modules/@react-native-firebase/app/lib/internal/registry/nativeModule.js:109:22 in initialiseNativeModule
- node_modules/@react-native-firebase/app/lib/internal/registry/nativeModule.js:210:32 in getNativeModule

@mikehardy to your point about incorrect integration, following the documentation there are just a couple simple steps for RN 0.60+. I've basically done

yarn add @react-native-firebase/app
yarn add @react-native-firebase/analytics 
cd ios/ && pod install

updated AppDelegate.m

...
#import <Firebase.h>

...
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  [FIRApp configure];
  [Fabric with:@[[Crashlytics class]]];

  return [super application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];
}

and copied GoogleService-Info.plist into project folder.

Am I missing something?

[mikehardy]

@alex-mironov you have a different issue, because you're on react-native-firebase v6. The script for that one is https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/master/make-demo-v6.sh :-)

[minuhariharan]

@mikehardy Thanks will try the script

[alex-mironov]

@mikehardy I don't want to sound rude, but the script doesn't seem to be so much usable. If you really want people to use it, it could probably be split into chunks with proper steps instead of # 4. alter the target to 'both' instead of iPhone only. Also there is some unnecessary stuff there like rm -f ios/rnfbdemo.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj

[mikehardy]

PR it, I'll take any improvement. Open source my friend

It does actually work though, does not result in

[Unhandled promise rejection: Error: You attempted to use a firebase module that's not installed nati]ely on your iOS project by calling firebase.analytics().
- node_modules/@react-native-firebase/app/lib/internal/registry/nativeModule.js:109:22 in initialiseNativeModule
- node_modules/@react-native-firebase/app/lib/internal/registry/nativeModule.js:210:32 in getNativeModule

[mikehardy]

BTW - the part you are examining particularly, that's a note for maintainers. You don't have to do that part. I was thinking through why you would be mentioning that then it struck me the instructions there weren't clear. They are more clear now I hope?

You really just need to clone the repo and run the script

https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/commit/29c3d84a0b9e28e18698ed8f2705ec8340621f04

[alex-mironov]

@mikehardy thanks a lot. It makes sense now. I will check it out.

[minuhariharan]

@mikehardy Does this script create a new react native facebook project ? If so were you suggesting that I can use that as a reference project to compare my current project?

[mikehardy]

@minuhariharan I will assume you mean react-native-firebase, and yes - that is exactly what it does, from absolute scratch, so you can see exactly what steps are required for most modules (skipping messaging and notifications because they are crazy) but does the nearly all the rest

[minuhariharan]

@mikehardy I meant that thanks, will go over the comments in the script and set it up and then compare with my project

[minuhariharan]

@mikehardy I cloned the repo, created a firebase project with a demo app, copied over the config files for android ios to the root of the repo, then ran your script. However react-native run-ios or running the project by opening Xcode don't seem to work and I get this error :
Showing All Errors Only /Users/minuhariharan/rnfbdemo/rnfbdemo/ios/Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-rnfbdemoTests/Pods-rnfbdemoTests.debug.xcconfig: unable to open file (in target "rnfbdemoTests" in project "rnfbdemo")

The build script was successful, it did not show me any errors.

[mikehardy]

Hmm - that's unexpected, worked for me last time I updated it. I'll have to check it out but it's end of day here for me so I won't be back to work for a while then I'm traveling rest of week, I'm not sure how much help I'll be quickly, sorry

[minuhariharanuic]

@mikehardy No problem thanks, if I figure it out will update here

Importing in this form:

import firebase from '@react-native-firebase/app';
import '@react-native-firebase/auth';

solved it for me

[cimpianRadu]

for me too..but it was a bit unexpected 😄

[TobinXu]

Importing in this form:

import firebase from '@react-native-firebase/app';

solved it for me

me tooooo!

[eramudeep]

i am getting the same error but the above answer not worked for me. :(

[carlosen14]

same problem, had to re-run npm run ios, to update the modules

[patlux]

For me it was the missing @react-native-firebase/analytics package. I only installed @react-native-firebase/app. It's not really clear from the instructions that this is required.

$ yarn add @react-native-firebase/analytics

[mikehardy]

@patlux that's not a general solution (installing specifically the analytics package*

The general solution is: if you want to use the APIs from one of the firebase modules, you need to install the app module here as well as the specific module
