Expo offline support and react-native-firebase #2123

andreaslydemann · 2023-05-28T20:36:34Z

Describe the bug
When you install react-native-firebase in an expo app, it is stated in the docs that you need to set useFrameworks: 'static' with expo-build-properties for react-native-firebase to work. Unfortunately that setting doesn't work with the library react-native-quick-sqlite that is used for offline mode.

You would get the following EAS build error from adding react-native-quick-sqlite while having useFrameworks: 'static' enabled:

That basically makes offline mode impossible together with push notifications using react-native-firebase.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Install react-native-firebase and set useFrameworks: 'static' in the app.json file while having react-native-quick-sqlite installed for offline mode.
Run EAS build.
See EAS build error.

Expected behavior
I expect the app to work with react-native-firebase while having offline support enabled. But that is currently not possible as far as I can see. If Stream used another sqlite library with support for useFrameworks: 'static', that would be a solution.

This issue is known to us, and we're aware of the unfortunate limitations.
We're triaging possible solutions

I'm just here to tell you that I have the same problem :-)

RRaideRR · 2023-05-31T16:06:53Z

I'm pretty sure you evaluated already some possibilities and I'm a total newbie on everything on the native side, so probably this proposal is totally useless, but maybe its possible to "simply" exchange react-native-quick-sqlite with https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/sqlite/

jaibheeman · 2023-06-02T17:26:22Z

Also, have the same issue. Hope it's fixed soon :)

eveepi · 2023-06-20T08:34:57Z

Running into this bug as well. Any updates?

RRaideRR · 2023-09-12T15:08:05Z

@andreaslydemann are you still stuck with this problem or what did you do?

andreaslydemann · 2023-09-13T19:50:26Z

I had to drop the offline support on my project, unfortunately, until there is a solution.

keeganthomp · 2023-09-13T21:18:57Z

Same here

RRaideRR · 2023-09-14T09:31:07Z

@vishalnarkhede could you please share some information with us how you and your team are seeing the priority of this bug/enhancement? This would help me arguing in our company and to plan my next steps a little bit better :-).

vishalnarkhede · 2023-09-15T09:10:26Z

We are discussing this internally, going to prioritize this. Will update you in couple of working days :)

vishalnarkhede · 2023-09-19T13:42:53Z

@andreaslydemann @RRaideRR could you please provide your dependencies list? or complete package.json

is it the production build that triggers this issue? @RRaideRR

RRaideRR · 2023-09-19T15:12:41Z

is it the production build that triggers this issue? @RRaideRR

The last time I tried it in May / June, it was that I couldn't build locally as well as production build.

However, I just tried to create a minimal reproducible example but it seemed to work. I'll get back to you tomorrow :-).

vishalnarkhede · 2023-09-19T15:18:15Z

Yeah I am having a bit hard time trying to reproduce this issue

vishalnarkhede · 2023-09-19T15:18:33Z

Would really appreciate the reproducible repo

RRaideRR · 2023-09-19T21:24:56Z

That was some hard work - way more than I thought :-D.

Okay - so good news first: @andreaslydemann - I couldn't come up with a minimal reproducible example with firebase and expo-build-properties. So it seems like the initial bug in this thread is fixed (maybe because of a new react-native-quick-sqlite version).

Bad news: I still got some errors building my production app on IOS.

I was able to trace them down and I could create a minimal reproducible example.
It seems like the cause is expo-updates which also ships with some sqlite functionality (I guess?).
The relevant error during the build process appears in "Run fastlane" build step. There is some redefinition of 'sqlite3_file'. I have attached the relevant error log here.
It seems that other users of the library are also experiencing similar errors. The suggested workaround is to turn on QUICK_SQLITE_USE_PHONE_VERSION. This works (yeaaah) but comes with the drawback that I don't have control over the SQLite version - is this a problem?

How to run the example:

Run eas build -p ios --profile production --clear-cache
The build should fail. Inspect either the fastlane error or download the relevant X Code logs.

vishalnarkhede · 2023-09-20T14:12:47Z

Ok so first of all, thanks alot @RRaideRR . That was really helpful.

So I finally managed to get an expo app working and getting EAS build to succeed. This is what I had to do (mostly same as what @RRaideRR mentioned, but adding explicit changes in case it helps anyone):

Latest versions of Expo (49), react-native-quick-sqlite (8.0.4) and react-native-firebase (18.4.0)
Make sure to follow expo steps for react-native-firebase library, specifically for app.json file.

add expo-build-properties dependency
```
npx expo install expo-build-properties
```

configure useFrameworks property in app.json

    "plugins": [
      "@react-native-firebase/app",
      "expo-build-properties",
      [
        "expo-build-properties",
        {
          "ios": {
            "useFrameworks": "static"
          }
        }
      ]
    ],

Set QUICK_SQLITE_USE_PHONE_VERSION env variable in eas.json

    "production": {
      "env": {
        "QUICK_SQLITE_USE_PHONE_VERSION": "1"
      }
    }

This is not ideal and expo-sqlite has the same issue, but seems like this will be resolved in Expo 50 for expo-sqlite. We will try to check if support for expo-sqlite can be added to the sdk - expo/expo#23970 (comment)

andreaslydemann · 2023-09-21T23:00:49Z

Thanks for the help figuring this out @RRaideRR and @vishalnarkhede! I'll have a go with the workaround here soon.

RRaideRR · 2023-09-22T08:31:12Z

If you're not using expo-update or another library that conflicts with sqlite3, you don't need the workaround with QUICK_SQLITE_USE_PHONE_VERSION: 1. When you remove expo-update in my sample project and exchange it with rn-firebase, it works out of the box :-)

RRaideRR · 2024-02-29T10:25:40Z

By the way: I can confirm that it works for expo 50 out of the box without QUICK_SQLITE_USE_PHONE_VERSION: 1 🎊🎈
