react-native-firebase - v4.3.0

Published by Salakar over 6 years ago

v4.3.0 Changelog

As always - huge thanks to all our contributors and everyone that has helped debug issues.

Upgrade Guide

This release does NOT support React Native v0.56.x - this will come in the v5.0.0 release due to backwards incompatible breaking changes.

See minor storage change below and update your code if it affects you.

Our testing project can also be inspected as a reference / guide to versions etc. It's located here.

Android - Upgrade Guide

Update your in-use Firebase SDK dependencies to match the following versions:

// android/app/build.gradle

// RNFirebase required dependencies
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.1"
implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:15.0.1"

// RNFirebase optional dependencies
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:15.0.1"
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:16.0.2"
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-config:16.0.0"

implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-perf:16.0.0"
implementation('com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.9.3@aar') {
  transitive = true
}

If you use Crashlytics, update your fabric gradle tools version:

// android/build.gradle

// ...
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.3'
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.0.1'
    classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-plugins:1.1.1'
// ... THIS --------------------------- \/

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.1'

Update `android/app/build.gradle`

You need to be using at least the following versions of the firebase and gms imports:

com.google.android.gms:play-services-base: 15.0.0
com.google.firebase:firebase-core: 15.0.2
com.google.firebase:firebase-ads: 15.0.0

v4.0.0 Changelog

TL;DR: The one everybody has been waiting for: our overhaul of messaging and notification functionality to make it more reliable, better documented and easier to use.

Plus, we've got Firebase Invites, Multi-Database url support, an overhaul of Dynamic Links and some other minor fixes.

Notification highlights:

Better separation of concerns: messaging, notifications and instanceid
Fully documented API
Builder classes provide a type safe way to construct messages and notifications
Clearer distinction between Android and IOS specific functionality
Support for Android Notification Channels, Android Actions and Remote Input
Support for BigTextStyle and BigPictureStyle Android notifications

Outstanding functionality:

Support for iOS notification categories

Quick Start

Install using:

npm install --save react-native-firebase@latest

Messaging

Messaging vs Notifications

We have made the conscious decision to separate this functionality into two distinct areas:

Messaging
- handles remote FCM data-only messages
- follows the official Firebase JS web SDK's messaging API where possible
Notifications
- handles remote FCM notification and notification + data messages,
- handles the display and receipt of locally displayed notifications

You can read some more here: https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v4.0.x/messaging/introduction#Message-types

Receiving messages and notifications

With our previous implementation, we had a single onMessage listener which was triggered for all messaging and notification actions, whether that was a notification in the foreground, background or even when the notification was pressed. This meant you'd have to implement some logic to check the state of the notification to try and identify what had actually happened.

To simplify things, we've broken out a number of different listeners to provide greater control and customisation:

Messaging
- onMessage: Triggered when a data-only message is received remotely from FCM

Notifications
- onNotification: Triggered when a remote of local notification is received
  - This will typically be triggered when your app is in the foreground
  - The notification will not have been displayed automatically to the end user by the OS, and it is up to you as the developer to display it if you wish to using firebase.notifications().displayNotification(): https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v4.0.x/notifications/displaying-notifications
- onNotificationDisplayed: Triggered when a remote or local notification is displayed by the OS
  - This will typically be triggered when your app is in the background, or in the foreground if you have called firebase.notifications().displayNotification() directly.
  - The notification will have been displayed automatically to the end user by the OS
- onNotificationOpened: Triggered when a remote or local notification is tapped / pressed / opened by the user
  - This will be triggered if your app is in the background or foreground
  - The event contains information about the notification and the action that the user took: https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v4.0.x/notifications/receiving-notifications#4)-Listen-for-a-Notification-being-opened
  - If your app is closed, then firebase.notifications().getInitialNotification() will be populated with this information when the app is started by a notification being opened.

Foreground vs Background

With our previous implementation, we relied on the show_in_foreground flag existing within the notification content to force the library to automatically show the notification if the app was running in the foreground. Whilst this (kind of) worked, it meant it was down to the notification sender to control the display of the notification, not the app itself.

The show_in_foreground flag no longer exists and instead you can use the listeners described above to give better control, e.g.

firebase.notifications().onNotification((notification: Notification) => {
  // You've received a notification that hasn't been displayed by the OS
  // To display it whilst the app is in the foreground, simply call the following
  firebase.notifications().displayNotification(notification);
});

When the app is in the background, the OS will automatically handle the notification display when a remote or local notification is received. If you wish to display a heads up notification on Android, we recommend you look at sending data only messages to your app. These can be handled when your app is in the background or closed by following the instructions here: https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v4.0.x/messaging/receiving-messages#4)-(Optional)(Android-only)-Listen-for-FCM-messages-in-the-background

Firebase Invites

We've added full support for Firebase Invites: iOS | Android

Dynamic Links

We've rolled out the Builder approach to Dynamic Links. Check out the createDynamicLink docs and Dynamic Link reference docs

This is a breaking change

Cloud Firestore

Added support for disableNetwork and enableNetwork
Added typescript definitions for Transactions

Authentication

Fixed issue with null photo URL when updating a user profile #911

Database

Fixed issue with server time offset #910
Database now supports using multiple database instances via database urls e.g.:

const dbShard = firebase.database('https://rnfirebase-3.firebaseio.com/');

Big shout out to @akshetpandey and @Chenjh1992 for their help getting this pushed through on #881

Crashlytics

Crashlytics now lives at the top level under firebase.crashlytics()

Upgrade instructions

npm install --save react-native-firebase@latest

Gradle

Due to some breaking changes in v12 of the Android libs, you'll need to upgrade your Gradle version to at least v4.4 and make a few other tweaks as follows:

In android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties, update the gradle URL to gradle-4.4-all.zip
In android/build.gradle check that you have google() specified in the buildScript repositories section:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()  // <-- Check this line exists
        ...
    }

In android/build.gradle update Android build tools to version 3.1.0:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0'

In android/app/build.gradle update all your compile statements to be implementation, e.g.

implementation(project(':react-native-firebase')) {
    transitive = false
}

In android/app/build.gradle, update all the firebase and gms dependencies to 12.0.1
When running your app from within Android Studio, you may encounter Missing Byte Code errors. This is due to a known issue with version 3.1.0 of the android tools plugin: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/72811718. You'll need to disable Instant Run to get past this error.

Messaging / Notifications

As you can imagine, for Messaging and Notifications this is a completely breaking change, so you'll want to follow the installation instructions available here:

Messaging: iOS | Android
Notifications: iOS | Android

There are a number of guides available: Messaging | Notifications

Reference can be found here: Messaging | Notifications

Some key things to note:

The iOS AppDelegate.m will need to be completely updated
All packages in AndroidManifest.xml will need to be updated
firebase.messaging().requestPermissions() is now firebase.messaging().requestPermission()
firebase.messaging().setBadgeNumber() and firebase.messaging().getBadgeNumber() are now firebase.notifications().setBadge() and firebase.notifications().getBadge()

Dynamic Links

For dynamic links on iOS, you need to make a subtle change to your AppDelegate.m:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
            openURL:(NSURL *)url
            options:(NSDictionary<NSString *, id> *)options {
    return [[RNFirebaseLinks instance] application:application openURL:url options:options];
}

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
continueUserActivity:(NSUserActivity *)userActivity
 restorationHandler:(void (^)(NSArray *))restorationHandler {
     return [[RNFirebaseLinks instance] application:application continueUserActivity:userActivity restorationHandler:restorationHandler];
}
