Hey! You might have cracked this one.

• I agree with the move to analytics
• the new-style struct typing looks correct

Let's see what CI thinks...

[exzos28]

Could you restart "Testing E2E Android" if necessary? It looks like the emulator did not start for some reason.

[mikehardy]

android CI failure was unrelated, re-running it
if the iOS runs completed I think this is good to go
Fantastic! This one has personally bothered me for a long time as I'm the one usually updating dependencies and I hated seeing it stuck. Much appreciated.

I do have an error while running the app, after resetting node_modules, yarn.lock and rebuilding the app from fresh.

 ERROR  TypeError: 0, _superstruct.define is not a function (it is undefined), js engine: hermes [Component Stack]

with

@react-native-firebase/analytics@npm:21.6.0

[mikehardy]

rebuilding the app from fresh

@RohovDmytro 👋 looking in to this, what exact command are you running to rebuild the app from fresh?

[mikehardy]

When I last ran this, this afternoon, it was already using 21.6.0 and did not have a build failure:

rebuilding the app from fresh

@RohovDmytro 👋 looking in to this, what exact command are you running to rebuild the app from fresh?

Resetting watchman cache, deleting node modules, yarn lock, running yarn install and then expo prebuild, and starting metro server with a reset config. I can provide the exact command line combo a bit later, if that would be important.

[RohovDmytro]

The app does build, but crashes in production and yields the error above during development.

[mikehardy]

I wonder fi you have the opposite problem of the issue that prompted the PR here, #5146
That is, perhaps some other module of yours requires the old superstruct but now we rely on the new one?
Or perhaps there is some other expo-specific difference?

The app my script builds run fine in release and debug from completely clean setups (similar to what your commands do) - that's the whole point of that repro script really - to start from completely clean, do a reproducible series of steps, and have a full react-native-firebase integration run in debug and release modes. And it's working for me 🤔

[RohovDmytro]

That is, perhaps some other module of yours requires the old superstruct but now we rely on the new one?

supestruct is used only via /analytics package.

├─ @react-native-firebase/analytics@npm:21.6.0
│  └─ superstruct@npm:2.0.2 (via npm:^2.0.2)
│
└─ @react-native-firebase/analytics@npm:21.6.0 [6c1df]
   └─ superstruct@npm:2.0.2 (via npm:^2.0.2)

That was the main reason I've assumed it would be enough to quickly blame open source and get away with commenting in PR discussion :)

Through years I've accumulated many ways of resetting caches. Let me try the bigest-badast--reset, maybe that will help :)

Either way, I would provide more actionable details or fix the issue my myself. Thanks for taking a look into it, @mikehardy.

[exzos28]

@RohovDmytro Did you update @react-native-firebase/analytics and @react-native-firebase/app as well?
Maybe attach your yarn.lock, I'll take a look.

[RohovDmytro]

Biggest-baddest-reset did not work. My next assumptions:

• I am using react-native 0.75.*
• I am using hermes
• Old arch

@exzos28, yes. All of them.

The amount of my dependencies in the current project made me mentally unstable. Please, be careful when looking at it. Thanks.

yarn.lock.zip

[RohovDmytro]

Downgrading to @21.5.0 makes the project work (event without rebuilding, wow!). And that works for me :)

Another assumption: do we have latest and greatest code under 21.6.0 tag?

I have to move on with my sprint and will stop pretending to be helpful. The final straw from me is to rename the project current repository into @react-native-firearse/*, but that's also might be as helpful as previous comments.

I will post more if I'll find more.

[exzos28]

Interesting point - I also have react-native 75 and an older architecture.
And only updating superstruct allowed to use analytics package.

[mikehardy]

I looked through your yarn.lock @RohovDmytro and it all looks normal, unfortunately nothing jumps out at me there
My reproductions of success are

• the test app here with react-native 0.74.x + old architecture

react-native-firebase/tests/package.json

Line 32 in 0103e12

"react-native": "0.74.5",

And my make-demo.sh script which is the newest everything - rn0.76.2 + new architecture

and they both work - I just can't trigger this, and we haven't had others mention it yet either, so I suspect this is local somehow but I know what you mean by all the react-native project cleaning stuff (I've had PRs merged into react-native-clean-project - it's a constant battle). So it seems there may be something to this.

Unfortunately without a reproduction I can't move further with it, but I'll be listening in case something is posted

[LouisSyfer]

Same issue with my new dev build. And with the last version of analytics.

[mikehardy]

@LouisSyfer please be specific, "same issue" doesn't mean much when attached to a merged PR (which is not an issue, and has lots of discussion on it, with no resolution)

[LouisSyfer]

Ok sorry @mikehardy !
I have a very similar problem as described below. The dev build failed when I want to test it with Expo Go. I just removed the last version of all firebase package I have installed (21.6.1), and reinstalled the 21.2.0 version. The build is ok now.
Sorry for the misanderstanding

[exzos28]

Is it possible to use react-native-firebase/* with Expo Go? wow

[exzos28]

@LouisSyfer If possible, please create an Issue with details and a reproducible repo and let's continue the discussion there.

[mikehardy]

Interesting.
In fact, it may be possible to use react-native-firebase in Expo Go with our new fallback support to firebase-js-sdk - at least on the web platform. Unsure on ios/android.
Historically there is no support for Expo Go though, as we use native modules not packed in the Expo Go app

[LouisSyfer]

You're right, it's weird 🧐
I'm not sure if you can read this :

Screen_Recording_20241126_200650_Boostarz.mp4

[mikehardy]

I think you're going to need expo-dev-client and get busy with prebuild

[LouisSyfer]

Expo-dev-client is installed.
I think maybe the latest versions of react-native-firebase are not compatible with SDK 52.
