@mikehardy buddy any help ??

[neeteshraj]

i am having same issue in my react-nativeV0.73.2.

(NOBRIDGE) ERROR Error: No Firebase App '[DEFAULT]' has been created - call firebase.initializeApp() (NOBRIDGE) LOG Running "singlecustomerapp" with {"rootTag":1,"initialProps":null,"fabric":true} (NOBRIDGE) ERROR Invariant Violation: "singlecustomerapp" has not been registered. This can happen if:

• Metro (the local dev server) is run from the wrong folder. Check if Metro is running, stop it and restart it in the current project.
• A module failed to load due to an error and AppRegistry.registerComponent wasn't called.

[AjayGol]

@mikehardy Please check this issue and give any solutions?

[mikehardy]

Hey @AjayGol 👋 - sorry for the delay.

These things are concerning:

implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:28.4.0')

...you should not do that. The firebase-bom should be controlled by the package.json in @react-native-firebase/app module. We expect to control it and you will have compatibility problems and possible build errors if you override. Overriding is at your own risk as noted on the override documentation page

implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:19.0.1"

This is very specifically bad with regards to assuming control over the version in contravention of both the firebase-bom and the general expectation that @react-native-firebase/messaging will have the library version it expects. I would never do this.

If you must have a hard dependency in your app (versus transitively via @react-native-firebase/messaging) on this library, you should do so without the version number such that the version is controlled by the firebase-bom (which itself should be controlled via the package.json in @react-native-firebase/app...)

You have not provided all the other related information (like, the top-level build.gradle file) that we request in our issue template, which is the same asking me to just guess what your problem is. That's hard to do with precision so you should provide information when asked. But if I had to guess I would guess you are not using the google-service-plugin at version 4.4.0, as you should be with current react-native-firebase

I also cannot guess what version of react-native-firebase you are using. Hopefully it is the most up to date release, as you should make sure you are up to date before opening an issue.

There is a chance that the error message you describe regarding no default app is caused by using google-services-plugin > 4.3.15, but that is supposedly only for people using react-native < 0.71 - documented here https://rnfirebase.io/#configure-firebase-with-android-credentials - however the actual problem there is having an out of date android gradle plugin, and it is possible during your upgrade from 0.64.2 to 0.72.7 that you have not correctly updated your gradle plugin.

i am having same issue in my react-nativeV0.73.2.

(NOBRIDGE) ERROR Error: No Firebase App '[DEFAULT]' has been created - call firebase.initializeApp() (NOBRIDGE) LOG Running "singlecustomerapp" with {"rootTag":1,"initialProps":null,"fabric":true} (NOBRIDGE) ERROR Invariant Violation: "singlecustomerapp" has not been registered.

With apologies, in my experience no one is having the same issue. It is really rare for people to have the same issue even when they do look really similar. You should not hijack another person's issue, rather you should post your own issue with complete details required for another developer to help you, i.e. https://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask / https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example (filling out the template completely is a good start on those...)

[neeteshraj]

@mikehardy https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/7581 i have mentioned here

[mikehardy]

@neeteshraj yep! just see that now, working through my notifications in order. We'll continue on your issue over there, and I'll hide these comments here so we can focus on AjayGol here. thank you

[AjayGol]

@mikehardy Here is my firebase version i have used.

  "@react-native-firebase/analytics": "18.7.3",
    "@react-native-firebase/app": "18.7.3",
    "@react-native-firebase/auth": "18.7.3",
    "@react-native-firebase/crashlytics": "18.7.3",
    "@react-native-firebase/dynamic-links": "18.7.3",
    "@react-native-firebase/messaging": "18.7.3",
  }
}

I have already try with both version for com.google.gms:google-service 4.3.15 and 4.4.0.

Here is build.gradle

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "33.0.0"
        minSdkVersion = 21
        compileSdkVersion = 33
        targetSdkVersion = 33
        ndkVersion = "23.1.7779620"
        facebookSdkVersion = "13.1.0"

    }
    subprojects { subproject ->
        afterEvaluate{
            if((subproject.plugins.hasPlugin('android') || subproject.plugins.hasPlugin('android-library'))) {
                android {
                    compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
                    buildToolsVersion rootProject.ext.buildToolsVersion
                }
            }
        }
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
            url "https://maven.google.com"
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle")
        classpath("com.facebook.react:react-native-gradle-plugin")
        classpath('com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.15')

    }
}

and also remove this in app/build.gradle implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:19.0.1" implementation platform('com.google.s:firebase-bom:28.4.0')

[mikehardy]

Not sure what to tell you except that I have a fully-automated minimum viable reproduction of react-native-firebase integrating with a fresh (npx react-native init ...) react-native project and it works every time

I don't reproduce this and i don't know exactly what the difference is between your project and a clean + integrated-as-documented project, but somewhere in that difference is the problem.

Here's the reproduction showing it all works: https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/main/make-demo.sh

[AjayGol]

In my case not working i have follow firebase documents.

[Jscripter-pk]

@AjayGol did you get any help after following docs. As I am also currently facing the issue.

[AjayGol]

still not get any solutions @Jscripter-pk

[AjayGol]

@Jscripter-pk If your side any solutions then ping me here.

[Jscripter-pk]

@AjayGol sure I will leave message once I am done with some hack

[Jscripter-pk]

@AjayGol I would love if you got the solution please share, I am also looking if found any will share.

[Jscripter-pk]

@AjayGol for me the issue was. After cross checking with documentation If I am missing anything or not I was able to found that It was my fault and I missed some of changes which was asked in documentation.

I would ask you to skip these 2 if you are using 0.72 + In your PodFile use_frameworks! :linkage => :static $RNFirebaseAsStaticFramework = true

and also add these manually

# Flags change depending on the env values.
  flags = get_default_flags() // it is might be already added in your file just putting so that you know where to put the later ones
  pod 'Firebase', :modular_headers => true
  pod 'FirebaseCore', :modular_headers => true
  pod 'FirebaseCoreInternal', :modular_headers => true
  pod 'GoogleUtilities', :modular_headers => true

In general If I say that go through the setup process again too and run build in xCode so that even after going through the whole process you miss something you get better error to understand the issue rather than if you are trying to figure our via VSCode.

[AjayGol]

@Jscripter-pk My issue comes in android. @mikehardy I have also try create with a new project still not working

[mikehardy]

@Jscripter-pk if you use modular_headers in place of use_frameworks you are running an unsupported configuration and will never be able to receive support here. use_frameworks is a strict requirement.

I create new projects an run them successfully in a fully automated process all the time, I do not reproduce the problems described here: https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/main/make-demo.sh

There is no reproduction of this problem that I'm aware of, that anyone has shared.

[Jscripter-pk]

@mikehardy Thanks for commenting and letting know about the things I will surely try with ones you shared 😉

[AjayGol]

@mikehardy Please check on android. I have issue in android side

[mikehardy]

@AjayGol it appears you have not examined my script, as it builds android in both release and debug mode and works.

[quangdao8]

I am also currently facing the issue, @AjayGol Do you have any solution?

[mikehardy]

@quangdao8 please examine my "starts from scratch, successfully integrates react-native-firebase" script - https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/main/make-demo.sh

It works every single time

[mikehardy]

@miguelcast careful with that - if you use modular_headers no support is available to you, it is an unsupported workaround. use_frameworks is a strict requirement for firebase-ios-sdk so we require it here.
