Firebase and Skip-firebase are installed but the compiler doesn't find FirebaseAuth

[timkoss]

Following the instructions on skip.tools I have installed Firebase and skip-firebase in my project. I am trying to make my model for my Firebase users:

#if SKIP
import SkipFirebase
import SkipFirebaseAuth
#else
import Firebase
import FirebaseAuth
#endif

`class AuthViewModel: ObservableObject {
@published var userSession: FirebaseAuth.User? = nil
@published var currentUser: User?

init() {
    // Optionally check for an existing Firebase user
    userSession = Auth.auth().currentUser
}

func signIn(withEmail email: String, password: String) async throws {
    
}
.........`

The compiler is complaining about:

1. Cannot infer type for this parameter. Please specify it explicitly.
2. Unresolved reference. None of the following candidates is applicable because of a receiver type mismatch:
3. Unresolved reference 'FirebaseAuth'

I am getting the same unresolved reference on the Android side as well:

• AuthViewModel.kt:31:36 Unresolved reference 'FirebaseAuth'.

It looks like I have the package loaded but it is not being found anywhere. Ideas?

3. Unresolved reference 'FirebaseAuth'

Can you show your Package.swift? It sounds like your target doesn't have a dependency on FirebaseAuth. For example, take a look at https://github.com/skiptools/skipapp-fireside/blob/main/Package.swift

Thanks. I did use that example as a base. I attached the package file I currently have - FYI, I changed the type so I could upload it

Package.txt

I think the problem is that when imported via Skip, the module name is SkipFirebaseAuth, but you are referencing the module directly as the type if your userSession property. You might try changing it to something like:

#if SKIP 
typealias FirebaseAuthUser = SkipFirebaseAuth.User
#else
typealias FirebaseAuthUser = FirebaseAuth.User
#endif
@published var userSession: FirebaseAuthUser? = nil

Thanks for your help. I see why that works but it was never on my radar as I was trying to solve this!!

With the typealias I am able to get the code compiled and signing in with Firebase. The issue I have now is when I am trying to access members of FirebaseAuthUser. If I try ti access isEmailVerifeid I get the suggestion from code complete in Xcode but when I write some code like:

let result = try await Auth.auth().signIn(withEmail: email, password: password)
self.userSession = result.user
let isEmailVerified = self.userSession?.isEmailVerified

the compiler can't find isEmailVerified

Unresolved reference 'isEmailVerified'

[marcprux]

Unresolved reference 'isEmailVerified'

That's because we haven't implemented that function yet.

Most of the Auth module for Firebase has been contributed by users (e.g., see skiptools/skip-firebase#28). Implementing this yourself would be fairly simple by following the instructions at https://skip.tools/docs/contributing/. If you do get it implemented, please consider filing a pull request.

ah... I see. I thought I had read that all the FirebaseAuth was implement. I guess not ;)
