Firebase + React Native = Broken

[Braden Napier]

Could use some help on this one.  Firebase appears to have randomly broke.  I haven't updated anything... but the second I connect to firebase my app receives non-stop messages which I can only assume comes from Firebase and is from some sort of conflict.  If I take the connection to Firebase out of my code (which has been working for a month or more) then no spam of this message.  If I just do new firebase I get about 21 of the messages and once i connect to the firebase websocket i get 20,000+ 

RCTLog.js:36 SocketRocket: In debug mode.  Allowing connection to any root cert

^ this will only occur when I am running on a device and I elect to "Debug in Chrome" - otherwise it works fine.  Problem being this is how you troubleshoot things with RN - so Firebase + RN is essentially broken at this point - it must be server-side that this is happening because again, I updated nothing and this started occurring.

Hi Braden,

This sounds very similar to an issue another user reported with Firebase / react-native recently.  Essentially what was happening was that in certain cases (I couldn't reproduce it and he could only reproduce it sometimes), the underlying websocket implementation (SocketRocket) was closing the connection without delivering all of the packets that it had received.  This had a nasty effect of causing Firebase to repeatedly try to connect to the wrong server, and each attempt triggered that message about debug mode.

He pushed a fix into react-native but I don't think it's been released yet.

If you want to confirm this is the same issue, you can add "Firebase.enableLogging(true);" to the beginning of the app and send me the log output.

Thanks,

-Michael

Hey Braden,

Unfortunately this looks like a potentially different issue.  Your WebSocket just isn't getting connected at all, and I don't know why.  :-(

As I said it's a specific process but i can re-create it every time

1. Run the App on the device

2. Shake the Device to open the Dev Menu and select "Debug in Google Chrome"

3. Connect to Firebase

4. DEATH!!!!!

:-P

Hi Braden, 

   Did you every figure out what was happening? 

   I am getting the exact same behaviour with very similar logs (only the Firebase endpoint is different). I have been racking my brain trying to figure out what is wrong when attempting to establish a connection whilst in debug mode.

Best,

[Michael Lehenbauer]

Can you try the very latest version of React Native?  There were some issues in its WebSocket implementation recently.

Thanks,

-Michael

Hi Michael, 

  I am running version 0.15.0 of react. Is that the latest?
