Re: [Firebase] iOS 10 Support?

[Salman Qadri]

Hi Chad,

Yes we have been looking at iOS 10 and on Tuesday we released a new version of the iOS SDK that adds support for iOS 10. You can read more about it in a blog post on the subject here:

https://firebase.googleblog.com/2016/08/ios-10-xcode-8-and-swift-3.html

As for sign-in issues, we are aware of an Apple bug that happens on the iPhone simulator, as detailed in that blog in the section titled "A Quick Note About Firebase Auth and Xcode 8". However, the issue should not be there on a real device. Are you seeing this issue on an actual iOS 10 device, or are you testing in the iOS 10 beta simulator?

Hi!

I just opened my project in Xcode 8 Beta 5 (i.e. iOS 10) and get all kinds of connection errors on start. I also can't sign in. 

Is this a known issue? I didn't want to dig into it too far as it's still a little early.

Does anyone know if someone at Google is looking into iOS 10 support for Firebase? I haven't been able to find any information.

Stefano, are you referring to the kinds of errors mentioned here? If so, this is due to a known issue in the Xcode 8 simulator. You can work-around it by using the fix mentioned in the StackOverflow post, or try running on an actual device instead of the simulator.

Hi,

I read here that Firebase released a new SDK for resolving the issues found with iOS10. Yesterday I downloaded the SDK from the link of 'getting started with iOS' assuming that it was the latest version, however, once I set up everything, my project still gave me the same errors in XCode 8.x

Also, the ReadMe file in the SDK zip file refers to XCode 7 and didn't really have anything different than the previous version  (at least at a first glance).

The question is where the latest Firebase SDK is located so that I can update my project to iOS10.

Thank you very much,

Stefano

Can you share what those errors are? Otherwise, this is pretty difficult to debug. :)

Thank you Todd.

I don't get these errors you pointed out. I get the same errors as those I used to get when running the old Firebase iOS SDK in simulator for iOS 10.0. As if the SDK I've downloaded from the link at firebase was still the old one.

Thanks,
Stefano

Okay, the good news is basically none of this is stuff you really need to worry about. This post basically explains what's going on.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39734986/firebase-xcode-output-in-console/

Basically, you've got a combination of 3 things in your console:

1. XCode being super-duper verbose when it makes networking calls. You can fix that by following these instructions here. (Note that sometimes you'll need to delete/reinstall the app to make sure these fixes catch on for real.)

2. Some normal Firebase output

3. Some warnings (the stuff near the end about FIRInstanceID) that happen because the Xcode simulator has trouble writing to the shared keychain. They're harmless, but scary-looking. But you can disable them by adding any entitlement to your project (such as Keychain sharing) as described in this post.
