I have recently re built my Ionic app, after a series of updates, and signInWithRedirect
stopped working on Android, and redirects to localhost:8080 after login, while it's fine on iOS.
Here is my package.json
:
{
...
"dependencies": {
...,
"firebase": "5.4.2",
"@angular/fire": "5.0.0",
"@ionic-native/firebase": "4.12.2",
"cordova-plugin-browsertab": "^0.2.0",
"cordova-plugin-buildinfo": "2.0.2",
"cordova-plugin-customurlscheme": "4.3.0",
"cordova-plugin-firebase": "2.0.0",
"cordova-plugin-ionic-webview": "2.1.4",
"cordova-universal-links-plugin": "git+https://github.com/andyepx/cordova-universal-links-plugin.git#b91b58fb8a7ff9f2b2de83b4adceece13e9cf2a8",
},
...
"cordova": {
"plugins": {
...
"cordova-plugin-local-notification": {},
"cordova-plugin-firebase": {},
"cordova-plugin-browsertab": {},
"cordova-universal-links-plugin": {}
},
}
The version of cordova-universal-links-plugin
I am using it's a fork of the original plugin, with a few fixes for Cordova 8.
In config.xml
<preference name="AndroidLaunchMode" value="singleTask" />
<universal-links>
<host event="openAppEvent" name="app.my.com" scheme="https" />
<host name="myapp.page.link" scheme="https" />
<host name="myapp.app.goo.gl" scheme="https" />
<host name="myapp.firebaseapp.com" scheme="https">
<path url="/__/auth/callback" />
</host>
</universal-links>
And the login snippet I'm using:
// this.firebaseLogin is an instance of AngularFireAuth
return this.firebaseLogin.auth.signInWithRedirect(new auth.GoogleAuthProvider())
.then(() => {
return this.firebaseLogin.auth.getRedirectResult()
.then(x => authCallback(x))
})
I can't find what the issue with this configuration is, especially as it works perfectly on iOS...
With these versions:
"cordova-android": "^8.0.0",
"cordova-plugin-browsertab": "0.2.0",
"cordova-plugin-buildinfo": "2.0.3",
"cordova-plugin-compat": "1.2.0",
"cordova-plugin-device": "2.0.3",
"cordova-plugin-inappbrowser": "3.1.0",
"cordova-plugin-whitelist": "1.3.4",
"cordova-universal-links-plugin-fix": "1.2.1",
"firebase": "^5.9.4",
"cordova-universal-links-plugin": "~1.2.1",
"@angular/fire": "^5.1.2"
I was able to fix this problem by adding the following to my config.xml
:
<allow-navigation href="http://*" />
<allow-navigation href="https://*" />
Then however I got a 403 error: disallowed_useragent
(similar to in this SO question) which I managed to fix by adding the following line to config.xml
:
<preference name="OverrideUserAgent" value="Mozilla/5.0 Google" />
After further exploring, and following @bojeil suggestion above, turns out that
cordova-plugin-ionic-webview@latest
runs an integrated webserver, at http://localhost:8080
which doesn't work with how the Firebase SDK looks for Cordova / handles redirects.
So, the working solution 🎊🎉 for now is to use "cordova-plugin-ionic-webview": "1.2.1"
and hope that Firebase will solve this issue in the upcoming versions of their JS SDK.
