🔥 [🐛] auth/internal-error on iOS Only (Using Expo) #8137

Issue

I can get up and running with my Expo App and react-native-firebase just fine in development and production on Android and development on iOS, but NOT production on iOS. I'm using EAS and Expo to build and deploy my apps to TestFlight and the app store. But when I try to login on to the deployed version of my app I get the error: auth/internal-error

I have two Firebase Projects; one for dev and one for prod. In each, I have an Android app and an iOS app. I downloaded the credential .json and .plist files and uploaded them to Expo secrets and referenced them in my app.config.json file. I even successfully checked my .plist file with plutil.

ios: {
supportsTablet: true,
bundleIdentifier: "x.x.x",
buildNumber: "129",
googleServicesFile:
process.env.GOOGLE_SERVICES_FILE_IOS ?? "./GoogleService-Info-dev.plist"
}

I've also installed the packages with Expo added the plugins like so:

"@react-native-firebase/app",
"@react-native-firebase/auth",
[
"expo-build-properties",
{
ios: {
useFrameworks: "static"
}
}
]

So if it works in one environment but not the other than it must be a configuration error? I'm not sure how to provide help for that other than the vague + I'm certain you already through of it "triple check absolutely every single configuration item" 🤔

topherjamesknoll · 2024-11-15T03:07:48Z

lol thanks yep triple checked everything and made several deployments nothing seems to work. i have Authntication enabled in Firebase with both email authentication and Google authentication enabled. both my dev and prod projects in firebase are setup the same as far as I can see and I've been reviewing them very closely. been doing research for about two days now and haven't found many other things to change. is there anything other info I can provide to help?

mikehardy · 2024-11-15T12:28:01Z

Plug a real device running the production build into a computer and either run the production build from xcode or use console.app to watch the phone logs while you reproduce the error, and fish out anything related to the internal error while it happens, there may be clues there

topherjamesknoll · 2024-11-15T20:40:34Z

I use Sentry to view logs in production. As mentioned, all it throws is auth/internal-error as the code and "Please try again." as the mesage. I've checked even reset the password to the user I've testing. I can see in the request that my API key is present too. This leads me to belive that my .plist file is indeed being read correctly.

I did notice that Firebase Analytics, which I also installed through react-native-firebase, is picking me up as a user. So Analytics works but Auth still does not. I see that Analytics doesn't need a plugin, so if there is a plugin issue, that would make sense. Currently, I have the following in my app.config.js under expo.plugins as you have laid out in your docs:

"@react-native-firebase/app",
"@react-native-firebase/auth",
[
"expo-build-properties",
{
ios: {
useFrameworks: "static"
}
}
]

@mikehardy assuming you're the author? Do you know of anything in the auth plugin file that might help? Trying every combination of settings I know and following suggested from the web. Really would love to use your software and get this released. I appreciate the help!

mikehardy · 2024-11-15T20:45:22Z

You really want to do this:

Plug a real device running the production build into a computer and either run the production build from xcode or use console.app to watch the phone logs while you reproduce the error, and fish out anything related to the internal error while it happens, there may be clues there

You can watch it in real time. You can get all the surrounding context

I'm not "the author" though I help a lot 😆 - this suite of modules is huge, many authors! https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/graphs/contributors

I don't use Expo, sorry, so unsure what could be going on. The source is available though and none of the plugins are very complicated, quick to read through
