SwiftUI preview canvas crashes with manual Firebase framework install

[mthormann-dhi]

Description

When Firebase is installed manually from zip file, includes both FirebaseAnalytics and FirebasePerformance, and then any SwiftUI file is opened with the canvas. I expected the SwiftUI view shows in preview mode. Instead the SwiftUI view briefly displays and then is replaced by the red 'x' and "Preview Crashed" message. Xcode then shows an "[app] quit unexpectedly" dialog with the option to reopen, report to Apple, or ignore.

This happens every time the canvas reloads and makes using Firebase with a manual install (which would save 30 seconds at least on build times and make many processes much faster) impossible.

This issue is essentially the same as #8005 but does not appear to be resolved with the Promises 2.3.1 distribution. I did check that FBLPromises and PromisesSwift in the 10.14.0 zip file are both on 2.3.1 but the error is still happening.

I was also chatting with @ncooke3 in #11104 about this issue as having a stable SPM binary distro would make manual zip install unnecessary.

Created with minimal reproducible example.

Crash view:

Quit dialog:

Sample crash log file: Firebase Canvas Crash Log.txt

Reproducing the issue

1. Open Xcode and create a new iOS app.
2. Register app with Firebase and download plist file with configuration.
3. Add all of the Frameworks required by FirebaseAnalytics and FirebasePerformance. Note this issue does not happen which just FirebaseAnalytics installed (see screenshot)

4. Add minimal code to the main app file to initialize Firebase (import Firebase and FirebaseApp.configure() in the init()). Use UIApplicationDelegate or init() makes no difference.
5. Enable the canvas preview on the right side of the screen.

EXPECTED: SwiftUI view shows in preview mode ACTUAL: SwiftUI view briefly displays and then is replaced by the red 'x' and "Preview Crashed" message. Xcode then shows an "[app] quit unexpectedly" dialog with the option to reopen, report to Apple, or ignore.

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

Thanks @mthormann-dhi, instead of configuring Firebase in the app's init, could you try implementing a UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/uiapplicationdelegateadaptor), and then calling FirebaseApp.configure() within your delegate's applicationDidFinishLaunching API?

[mthormann-dhi]

I've switched over to using app delegate for Firebase initialization. Most of the time, I'm still seeing it fail with the same error. Every now and then I do very occasionally get in this state where the canvas is working somehow. But if I close Xcode, and just re-open the app and re-enable previews, it just starts failing again.

Have been trying all different combinations of canvas, running the app, killing deriveddata, cleaning build folder, etc. but haven't found anything that keeps it working. Closing and re-opening Xcode always seems to cause the error to happen again regardless.

I see the same issue with the same setup, Firebase 10.17, FBLPromises 2.3.1 and Xcode 15.

[MartinPrusa]

same issue with Firebase 10.18 and Xcode 15.0.1

Same issue with Firebase 10.23 and Xcode 15.3
