I have experienced the problem with Firebase on iOS so I created a project to reproduce it.

All calls to Firebase stopped working on iOS (I think this follows an update either to iOS on my device or to MacOS. Not sure which is the culprit).

Error messages:

nw_application_id_create_self NECP_CLIENT_ACTION_GET_SIGNED_CLIENT_ID [80: Authentication error]
Failed to resolve host network app id
Warning: -[BETextInput attributedMarkedText] is unimplemented
Invalidating grant <invalid NS/CF object> failed

Expected Behavior

Used to work, should still work.

Additional Information

macOS version: 14.6.1 (23G93)
iOS version: 17.6.1

See the readme.md file from the reproduction project for setup.

I'm encountering the same issue. The app worked fine two weeks ago and was approved in the App Store. However, when running the same app in Xcode 15.4 on a physical iPhone 13 device today , it displays a blank white page on the iPhone. The log (below) shows the same error reported by dx001. The app runs fine in the Xcode Simulator using 17.4 .

I'm using iOS Version 17.16.1 on an iPhone 13 Pro, which was originally released on August 7th and updated again on August 19th by Apple. For more details on the update.

Update: I suspected this issue might be related to Firebase. So I removed the libraries and all references to capacitor-community/fcm and capacitor/push-notifications, but the error persists.

I suspect this issue is related to WKWebView and iOS 17.6, especially since a person with the same problem isn't using Capacitor:

Same issue but we are not using firebase

[natmet]

Same here with Capacitor and Firebase.

[drakedeatonuk]

Yes same issue on iOS 17.6 & i've seen it on iOS 18 too.

Can't confirm if it's firebase related.

Adding some logs from crashes in case they're relevant:

Same issue, XCode 15.4. Using ionic capacitor vue firebase and also a Cordova purchase plugin suggested in ionic docs. Calls to firebase work, for example, I have a Component.vue where firebase services are used for anonymous authentication and they return a valid response. It's just that I have a blank white page (black on emulator)

[RKDeveloper12]

Creating a new project via ionic start and then dragging my src folder from previous project to new project ended up working. I had a vue capacitor ionic project with a lot of firebase services.

[brendanowens]

Facing a similar issue with a vue3/ionic8/capacitor6 project. Curious, when you created a new project and ported your files over, did you also copy the ios and android folders?

[RKDeveloper12]

No, I ended up doing npx cap add ios/android again. Built the dist/public again, synced it, and it worked.
