[Firebase Database] Database calls do not work on watchOS 9

Open Rexios80 opened this issue 2 years ago • 47 comments

Description

The FirebaseDatabase SDK does not work on watchOS 9. I have been having issues with websockets in my own products, and I believe this issue might be related to that. I am using FirebaseAuth just fine, and can make rest calls to the database with Alamofire.

Reproducing the issue

Try to read/write from the database on watchOS 9

Firebase SDK Version

9.5.0

Xcode Version

13.4.1

Installation Method

CocoaPods

Firebase Product(s)

Database

Targeted Platforms

watchOS

Relevant Log Output

Don't have physical access to a watchOS 9 device at the moment, and the issue doesn't show up on emulators.

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

To clarify, does RTDB work as expected on watchOS 8?

I've only been testing on watchOS 8 since I don't have a watchOS 9 device so yeah

Rexios80 avatar Sep 12 '22 22:09 Rexios80

My users on watchOS 9 informed me of the issue

Thanks all, this is NSURLErrorNotConnectedToInternet, which I hope is an Apple bug. If NSURLSession socket support is removed in watchOS 9 we'll have to re-write the watchOS implementation of RTDB.

morganchen12 avatar Sep 13 '22 18:09 morganchen12

I just tested a plain websocket connection (not including RTDB) on my watchOS 9 device and it fails with the same error code. It does works in the simulator.

@morganchen12 How can we find out if socket support has been removed in watchOS 9?

You can file feedback to Apple, or ask on the developer forums.

While we're here... Does anyone know how to pass an App Check token with Firebase Database REST calls? I know you can pass an auth token with ?auth=, but how do I also pass an App Check token?

Rexios80 avatar Sep 15 '22 15:09 Rexios80

@rosalyntan, do you know the answer to this question?

morganchen12 avatar Sep 15 '22 18:09 morganchen12

I think I figured it out. Just add a header to the request like this:

"X-Firebase-AppCheck": appCheckToken

Rexios80 avatar Sep 15 '22 19:09 Rexios80

@Rexios80 That is correct! If you are using Realtime Database with App Check and would like to manually make REST calls, please pass App Check tokens in the X-Firebase-AppCheck header.

weixifan avatar Sep 15 '22 19:09 weixifan

@weixifan Is this in the docs somewhere? The only way I figured this out is based on this page: https://firebase.google.com/docs/app-check/custom-resource-backend

That example doesn't explicitly state that Firebase services use that header themselves, but I took a lucky guess. This should be explicitly stated somewhere, probably in the REST API docs of services that have App Check available.

@ryanwilson WebsocketTask was already half broken before watchOS 9

It doesn't look very good:

https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/715024

Basically it is stated that web sockets aren't supposed to be supported on watchOS. It just wasn't enforced correctly previously. 😢

My team and I are experiencing this issue also.

ghost avatar Sep 24 '22 12:09 ghost

Hi, I'm also suffering this issue 😭 Because of that, I migrated the implementation of my ApiClient to API Rest calls to the Realtime Database. But requests take a long time, much longer than with the sdk in watchOS 8. I suppose that WebSocket are faster but how can I improve the API Rest calls? Should I implement a firebase function in the middle which make the request to the database and maybe implement a cache policy there?

Thanks in advance!
