call to displayName after Email signup is returning Nil

[vamshire]

Using swift.
iOS version 10.2.
Firebase SDK version: 3.14.0
FirebaseUI version: 2.0.0
CocoaPods Version: 1.2

I have enabled FB and login by email. Email logins created just fine. UI asks for Display Name but is not returning the display name when I try to get it with FIRAuth.auth()?.currentUser?.displayName

I'm expecting the displayName collected from the UI to be returned.

@vamshire I can't reproduce the issue. Can you please:

• double-check issue with the latest version of FirebaseUI;
• try different FB account;
• verify FIRUser from FIRAuthStateDidChangeListenerHandle.

Closing due to inactivity, @vamshire feel free to reopen this issue if it's still relevant.

Also with the latest SDK this is relevant:

the user object is returning this:
{ email: 'testtttting@at.com', metadata: { createdAt: 2017-05-29T08:23:44.000Z, lastSignedInAt: 2017-05-29T08:23:44.000Z }, uid: 'Rw6XI2uhQXEn5yzdchvhbXI42' }

displayName is not set directly after signup?

Can we reopen this issue? I'm having the same problem. When I call displayName on the Firebase user after sign up, it is null despite me providing one. Email is present so I don't understand why displayName is not. Thanks.

Closing this, as it has staled. If you still have this issue, please file it over at the main Firebase iOS repo.

still having this issue in swift 4. very easy to reproduce for me

Auth.auth().signIn(withEmail: email, password: pass)
{ (user, error) in

if let u = user
{
print("my display name is (u.displayName) ")
}
})

This sounds like an upstream FirebaseAuth issue. @manmanmaaaaan what versions of Firebase/FirebaseUI are you using?

under firebase 'Authentication' (not database) - I do find my user, but there is no way to set displayName, if I am supposed to set displayName there?? instead of under database, with collection 'users' ?
