ViewsFirebase 9 - Export 'initializeApp' was not found in 'firebase/app'
After upgrading to firebase 9, i am getting trouble importing some functions that used to work on firebase 8. Of course i read the docs and refactored the code but this error keeps popping up, this also happens for other imports.
My imports look like this
import { initializeApp } from 'firebase/app'
import { getDatabase } from 'firebase/database'
import { getAuth, signInWithCustomToken, onAuthStateChanged } from 'firebase/auth'
The error I get is:
Export 'initializeApp' was not found in 'firebase/app'
I also tried using the compat libraries
import { initializeApp } from 'firebase/compat/app'
import { getDatabase } from 'firebase/compat/database'
import { getAuth, signInWithCustomToken, onAuthStateChanged } from 'firebase/compat/auth'
But i still get
WARNING "export 'initializeApp' was not found in 'firebase/compat/app'
This also happens for my other imports.
Any help?

The compat version uses the V8 name-spaced syntax and does not require separate imports for every function like in newer modular/functional syntax:
import firebase from 'firebase/compat/app'
import 'firebase/compat/database'
import 'firebase/compat/auth'
// import { getAuth } from 'firebase/auth' <-- Modular version only
If you are using compat version then make sure you are following the namespaced version tab in the documentation:
