AuthUI.delete() does not handle reauthenticate

[alexisvapillon]

Firebase documentation says: "To delete a user, the user must have signed in recently. See Re-authenticate a user."
https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/android/manage-users#delete_a_user

This is not handled by FirebaseUI, as far as I can see.
(Android and Web, but other platforms as well I guess)

Is it a known limitation?
Is the implementation planned?

@alexisvapillon sorry for the delayed response here but thanks for reporting this. This is a good feature request.

I checked with the auth team and in the context of delete, "recently" is defined as 5 minutes. So you are right, it would be great for FirebaseUI to handle this case as it's hard to handle without insecurely storing auth credentials on the client.

Any ETA for this feature (even rough estimate) ?
I'd like to know if it is worth implementing something crappy myself, or if I should better wait for FirebaseUI team to do it.

[samtstern]

No ETA right now, we have not started to implement this so if you're going to need it soon I'd say forking and working on your own version would be worthwhile.

@alexisvapillon we are going to track this work in #563, thank you for the report!
