Property 'performance' is missing in type 'FirebaseApp' but required in type 'App'

Question

I seem to be getting this error when I try to run a fresh install of Angular 7.2 and Firebase:

ERROR in node_modules/@angular/fire/firebase.app.module.d.ts(17,22): error TS2420: Class 'FirebaseApp' incorrectly implements interface 'App'.
  Property 'performance' is missing in type 'FirebaseApp' but required in type 'App'.

Tried switching between different versions of @angular/fire and firebase, but didn't manage to find a working combination.

Current package.json :

{
  "name": "my-app",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "scripts": {
    "ng": "ng",
    "start": "ng serve",

  },

    "tslint": "~5.11.0",
    "typescript": "~3.2.2",
    "webpack-cli": "^3.1.0"
  }
}

Has anyone encountered this error? Google doesn't seem to find anything related to the performance property, there are only similar errors, but not the same ones. Any ideas?

Answer 1

I'm also getting this error. Seems latest ver. of firebase which is 5.11.0 is broken.

Changing my dependencies to 5.10.0 solved this issue.

Important: do NOT use any ~ or ^ ver. prefix

Answer 2

Managed to resolve the issue by specifying firebase's version to be "5.0.4", not "^5.0.4".
