Hey! Were you able to find the solution for this?

Hi, due to lack of free time I didn’t get a deep look into this issue. If you guys can attach the coda that causes the error it will help me.

Okay ill explain the scenario..I actually implemented the firebase google signing which was working perfectly in both the web and mobile browser. But the issue arises when i share my website link to someone in Instagram/Facebook. My friend clicks the URL it opens in the inbuilt browser of Instagram and in this in-app browser the google signing is not working..it throws an error which i have attached below.

I have also attached the code for google signin!! Thanks in advance

googleSignIn = (event) => {

var app = this.props.firebase.firebaseApp();
var auth = this.props.firebase.firebaseAuth()
console.log("google", app)
var provider = new app.auth.GoogleAuthProvider()
// provider.addScope('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/contacts.readonly');
provider.addScope('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email')
auth.signInWithPopup(provider).then((result) => {
  var token = result.credential.accessToken;
  var user = result.user;

  this.props.firebase.user(user.uid).on('value',snapshot=>{
    let myuser = snapshot.val();
    console.log("signedddinn",myuser)

    if(myuser){
      //user already created..this is just login
      this.props.history.push("/");
    }
    else{
      //user is not existing..so create a user in our db
      this.props.firebase
            .user(user.uid)
            .set({
              username : user.displayName,
              email : user.email,
              photoUrl : user.photoURL

            }).then((u)=>{
              // console.log("pushing success",u)
            }).catch((error)=>{
              console.log("pushing error",error)
            })

      this.props.history.push("/");
    } 
  })
}).catch(function (error) {
  console.log("error in google", error)
});

}

onChange = event => { this.setState({ [event.target.name]: event.target.value }); };

@vamsi-manyam Thank you very much for the detailed example. I know its been a while since this issue was opened, and I'm sorry for that. I will try to solve this this week but I can't anything yet.

@samuelgozi @vamsi-manyam I'm not sure if this is an issue with the lib, I suspect it might be an issue with the setting of the client device, like local storage config. My users are seeing the problem intermittently but I can't figure out the pattern yet because not enough data.

[sesam]

localStorage is unsupported/buggy in various situations in Firefox and Safari. We're having trouble with iPad and Firefox users getting into trouble, and one version of Chrome - typically it's the Anonymous/Incognito mode that has limitations, but also Corporate/Phones with some added restrictions and here it looks like also sometimes in web views from other applications. It might be that to get around this localStorage isn't usable. Maybe worth trying to fall back to sessionStorage, as persistence in Incognito / other apps's web views is anyway pointless.

[ManojKumarForcebolt]

Have anyone find the solution to this issue because I am facing the same issue while I am doing Google integration in Electron JS App

[samuelgozi]

Sorry for being late into the conversation. New changes in firefox, safari and also chrome (not sure about the version) block any form of persistent local storage when in incognito. This is is done to block tracking and fingerprinting. I don't think that its the same issue experienced by the issue on top.

As suggested I think that we need to look for a fallback that is not blocked. Im not sure about sessionStorage, I might need to try it.

On a different note. I just wanted to say that Im sorry for not fixing this yet. In the last about 6~ months I didn't have much spare time, and every time I did have it was then filled by other stuff that I had to do. So that's why this project (and any other project on my GitHub account) has been dead.

I can't promise timelines, but I do intend on finding a way to still maintain and update this library. Once I start working again on personal projects this one (all of the "lite" firebase libraries) will be the first to receive my attention.

@strom2357 I have the same error but for phone sign-in with firebase_auth: ^0.20.1

[annaharri89]

I'm getting this for the firebase auth sdk as well

In the Safari app on your Mac, choose Safari > Preferences, then click Privacy.

Select “Prevent cross-site tracking”. --> TURN OFF
