Authentication service is not working with the latest version of the Firebase

[marcalbet]

Hi,

The authentication service is not working with the current version of Firebase:

package.json file

"dependencies": {
    "@angular/fire": "^6.1.4",
    "firebase": "^8.2.7",
  },

I've changed the wrong imports but it is still failing in the execution time:

firebase-auth.service.ts file

//import { User, auth } from 'firebase/app';
import {User} from '@firebase/auth-types';
import auth from 'firebase/firebase-auth'; 

Regards.

If I come back to your Firebase version then it's works but it could be interesting to fix it. ;)

1 - npm uninstall firebase @angular/fire
2 - delete package-lock.json file
3 - npm install [email protected] @angular/[email protected] --save

package.json file

"dependencies": {
    "@angular/fire": "^6.0.3",
    "firebase": "^7.24.0",
  },

Regards.

What error message are you getting?

[marcalbet]

If I use these dependencies:

package.json file

"dependencies": {
    "@angular/fire": "^6.1.4",
    "firebase": "^8.2.7",
  },

directly I can't compile with this import:

firebase-auth.service.ts file

import { User, auth } from 'firebase/app';

User and auth are not recognized.

Is this your issue? angular/angularfire#2619

[marcalbet]

Yes!

ERROR in node_modules/@angular/fire/auth/auth.d.ts:4:10 - error TS2614: Module '"../../../firebase"' has no exported member 'User'. Did you mean to use 'import User from "../../../firebase"' instead?

OK. I will try to update it for the next release of the template.
Meanwhile, can you use the versions from the package.json?

"dependencies": {
    "@angular/fire": "^6.0.3",
    "firebase": "^7.24.0",
  },

[marcalbet]

Yes. Thank you for your support. ;)

Regards.

import { User, auth } from 'firebase/app';

I am no expert here but I believe the code needs to be modified thusly:
import { User, auth } from 'firebase';

@BetterAutomations , That is for firebase version > 8.
We will update the template to Firebase latest version as soon as possible but currently it uses version 7.
So please use the versions from the package.json.
Thanks

@djabif any updates on this? We are now having the same issue with the latest version but not quite sure if it is the same issue with this or not. Should we use the one from your previous message in 2021?

"firebase": "^9.16.0",
"@angular/fire": "^7.5.0",
