auth().onAuthStateChanged does not always trigger after sign-in on Android in React Native 0.77 #8374

KAMRONBEK · 2025-02-26T10:21:29Z

Hi Everybody, Any help would be greatly appreciated! auth().onAuthStateChanged is not working properly. On Android, after signing in, sometimes auth().onAuthStateChanged does not trigger. For example, after building the APK, signing in doesn't work at all. However, everything works fine on iOS.
Additionally, after uninstalling and rebuilding the app, this issue sometimes occurs. But when I completely close the app and reopen it, I find that the user is already signed in.
Thank you in advance for any assistance!

Expected Behavior:
auth().onAuthStateChanged should always trigger when a user signs in.

Current Behavior:
Sometimes, auth().onAuthStateChanged does not execute on Android, and the authenticated user state is not detected.

Hi there

could you use triple-backticks and language markers in the markdown so that's readable? I can't make much sense of the code
you are on an old version of react-native-firebase, make certain it reproduces in the current version
your posted code is not a minimum + complete example. Please post an App.tsx that is standalone and reproduces the problem

I've been testing this specific feature recently in response to an issue with the event firing after hot reloads and I saw no problem, so for me at least this doesn't reproduce when I inspect it myself - that means the App.tsx with a minimal + complete reproduction is critical to move forward on this issue. Please include exact steps (as if directing a kindergartner...) to reproduce any issue you see

https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/90889b436f602f280a733949991fbb5beb648079/App.tsx#L90-L94

@mikehardy Hey bro, As you can see in the video, when I sign in, the app doesn’t automatically reload. That is, if I exit the app and come back, it shows that I’m already signed in. But during the sign-in process itself, this doesn’t happen. This issue occurs after building the APK — it also happens sometimes in the emulator or in debug mode. On iOS, though, it doesn’t happen, I did everything almost, but I have still this problem

Not a self contained, minimal reproduction

Post the simplest possible App.tsx that references zero other imports except react, react and react-native-firebase where you can demonstrate the problem

KAMRONBEK · 2025-03-01T11:54:18Z

@mikehardy this is App file.
Let me try to explain my issue clearly.

After building the APK and signing in, auth().onAuthStateChanged(onAuthStateChanged) does not trigger for some reason. Because of this, I had to manually log in by getting the currentUser from auth() and proceeding with authentication.

However, after logging in manually, any onSnapshot() listeners I use do not receive data. The real-time updates are not working. But if I close the app and reopen it, everything starts working fine, including onSnapshot().

This is the issue I’m facing, and I’m not sure what needs to be done to fix it. Any help would be appreciated!

mikehardy · 2025-03-01T17:09:11Z

No, that's not a minimal complete example. Auth provider? Gesture handler? So much stuff. Pleas search "stackoverflow mcve" for a good guide. Reduce it to it's absolute bearest smallest essentials. A button to log in. Two text fields for username password. A handler fir the button to do the login. A callback for the auth changed event. Literally not one other thing. Please try that and if you still reproduce, post that file. Not a gigantic thing with unrelated items please

@mikehardy I’ve created a minimal example (as requested) using React Native with Firebase. After building and signing into the APK, auth().onAuthStateChanged doesn’t trigger initially, so I manually check auth().currentUser to proceed with login. However, onSnapshot listeners for Firestore (fetching groups) don’t receive data or work in real-time until I close and reopen the app. In debug mode, everything works fine, but in release mode, this issue persists. I’m using React Native 0.77 with new architecture (Fabric) enabled. Any suggestions on fixing this would be greatly appreciated!

mikehardy · 2025-03-01T23:03:01Z

@KAMRONBEK thank you for reducing the reproduction to its essentials that helps a great deal, now it is something I can just drop in an app and run

This:

In debug mode, everything works fine, but in release mode, this issue persists

...seems like it might be the critical information. I haven't quite reproduced this yet, but we test in debug mode ... exclusively. So if this is something you only see in release mode it could be something that is very real (and based on your report it seems to be) that we just never see.

I'm working on configuring our android e2e test app for release mode testing and I'm nearly there. I suspect I'll be able to reproduce it as soon as I have it ready, then we can figure out what is going on.

For you - as a temporary test - I imagine in release mode you have minification ("proguard", though it isn't really proguard anymore at a low level) configured? Can you try altering that setting in android/app/build.gradle so that minification / proguard is off in release mode, then re-try?

I have a hunch that will fix things because I have a hunch react-native-firebase may not be handling release mode + minification correctly

KAMRONBEK · 2025-03-03T08:42:45Z

Hi, @mikehardy thank you for your response and suggestion. I tried disabling minification (minifyEnabled false) in android/app/build.gradle and then tested the app in release mode. However, the issue still persists.

mikehardy · 2025-03-03T15:57:40Z

@KAMRONBEK that's really unexpected. As far as I'm aware, there should be very little difference between debug mode and "release but with minification disabled" on android. That is a really really surprising result that debug works and release mode still does not. I won't have time to investigate for a couple days but this does bear investigation

KAMRONBEK · 2025-03-04T03:53:29Z

@mikehardy I noticed that if I disable the New Architecture, the app works fine in release mode as well. However, I need the New Architecture to be enabled for my use case.
Is there anything specific you’d suggest checking while you’re unavailable? I’d be happy to run additional tests or provide more details if needed. Thanks again for your time!

mikehardy · 2025-03-04T13:51:51Z

Hey @KAMRONBEK I'm still pretty focused on why release mode would be failing while debug is working even if you disable minification. That really makes no sense to me and - with respect! - I doubt the test methodology and need to reproduce the result. So that's the first step - either getting our e2e app working in release mode (95% there, but not totally) or using https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/main/make-demo.sh (which does build an android release mode app) and dropping in a minimal example to reproduce - but with the script modified just a touch to disable minimification

That second style - using my build demo to make a test release mode android app from scratch with minimal repro - is something you could do as well to build confidence in the testing methodology to see if this really is a minimification thing or not.

After that, if the problem reproduces for me, experiments to run are to add console.log statements in all of the relevant javascript pathways for an event that is not firing, and also System.err.println(); java logging statements in the relevant java native code parts to see why the event isn't firing. That is also something you could do, via direct edits in node_modules with build/test cycles while watching adb logcat
