Can't find variable: IDBIndex on firebase/react native(expo)-CodePudding

I am developing a RN app in Expo with firebase as backend. So far, the app only uses firebase auth and firestore and for whatever reason, I randomly started getting the error of ReferenceError: Can't find variable: IDBIndex. I adjusted my firebase config to suit the v9 standards instead of using the compat package. I ensured my app was not using Google Analytics. I have also downgraded to [email protected] which matches up with the expo documentation and this other similar post. I have also git reverted into previous versions of the app (with earlier dependencies and code) when it was working but still got back the same error. When this occurred, I entirely reinstalled node and npm because I thought that was the only other possible reason this could be happening but that was to no avail as well (getting the same IDB error). I still think this is a firebase related issue, but I am pretty much all out of ideas as to what it could be.

Here is my firebase config:

import { initializeApp } from 'firebase/app'
import { getAuth, connectAuthEmulator } from "firebase/auth";
import { getFirestore, connectFirestoreEmulator } from "firebase/firestore";

import {
  FIREBASE_API_KEY,
  FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN,
  FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID,
  FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET,
  FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID,
  FIREBASE_APP_ID,
  FIREBASE_MEASUREMENT_ID,
} from '@env';

const firebaseConfig = {
  apiKey: FIREBASE_API_KEY,
  authDomain: FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN,
  projectId: FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID,
  storageBucket: FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET,
  messagingSenderId: FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID,
  appId: FIREBASE_APP_ID,
  measurementId: FIREBASE_MEASUREMENT_ID,
};

const app = initializeApp(firebaseConfig);

export default app;
export const auth = getAuth(app);
export const firestore = getFirestore(app);

if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "development") {
    connectAuthEmulator(auth, "http://localhost:9099");
    connectFirestoreEmulator(firestore, "localhost", 8080);
}

Do let me know if you need to see more files or need to know more details.

I've been getting the same issue, I've tried all the same things as you to no avail. I symbolicated the logs from firebase test lab and came up with this:

Stacktrace

Generally I have no idea how all of these libraries work together, but are you using typesense with firestore? I wonder if your stack trace calls out the same files, but I can't find any smoking gun here. I'll keep updating this thread if I find something. (I would have commented but I don't have the rep yet)

Update: Looks like my build just fixed itself somehow, even submitting builds from this weekend that would constantly crash. So truly I'm not sure what happened but it may be resolved

CodePudding user response：

I had this same issue, and after trying multiple different firebase versions, this is the one that fixed the error for me:

npm install [email protected] --save

Here's where I found this: Get Started with Cloud Firestore

CodePudding user response：

I had the same issue, my solution was to downgrade the Firebase version from 9.6.8 to 8.2.3.

Here is a reference that could be helpful.
