I am using angular-fire for firebase authentication on Ionic-Capacitor. It works fine on the web and android, but not on IOS.
When I inspected the app network activity, I realized the app is able to get an Authentication response successfully from firebase, but it's not fulfilling the async call.
My app.module.ts
@NgModule({
declarations: [AppComponent],
entryComponents: [],
imports: [BrowserModule, IonicModule.forRoot({mode: 'ios'}), AppRoutingModule,
HttpClientModule,
AngularFireModule.initializeApp(environment.firebaseConfig),
AngularFireAuthModule,
AngularFirestoreModule
]})
This is how I am initializing Angular fire.
This is a FirebasePlugin issue! All you need to do is to initialize AngularFire with the latest method.
OLD Method (Wrong) -
@NgModule({
declarations: [AppComponent],
entryComponents: [],
imports: [BrowserModule, IonicModule.forRoot({mode: 'ios'}), AppRoutingModule,
HttpClientModule,
AngularFireModule.initializeApp(environment.firebaseConfig),
AngularFireAuthModule,
AngularFirestoreModule
]})
Working Method (NEW)
import {getApp, initializeApp, provideFirebaseApp} from "@angular/fire/app";
import {getAuth, initializeAuth, provideAuth, indexedDBLocalPersistence} from "@angular/fire/auth";
@NgModule({
imports: [
provideFirebaseApp(() => initializeApp(environment.firebaseConfig)),
provideAuth(() => {
if (Capacitor.isNativePlatform()) {
return initializeAuth(getApp(), {
persistence: indexedDBLocalPersistence
})
} else {
return getAuth()
}
})]
})
After modifying the initializing approach, you'll need to remove usage of AngularFireAuth, instead use it like:-
import {Auth, createUserWithEmailAndPassword, signInWithEmailAndPassword} from "@angular/fire/auth";
export class UserService {
constructor(private auth : Auth) {
const user: any = await signInWithEmailAndPassword(this.auth,email,password);
}
Also, you can visit the latest docs of AngularFire to understand it better.
