Firebase Component Problem

Bugs and Other Issues
1

I have tested this with multiple working MIT App Inventor apps.

Problem:
As soon as I add the built-in FirebaseDB component, the exported APK hangs at the Android splash screen and never reaches Screen.Initialize.

Tests done:

  1. Existing working app opens correctly.
  2. Add only FirebaseDB component.
  3. Build APK.
  4. Install APK.
  5. App hangs at splash screen.
  6. Remove FirebaseDB.
  7. Rebuild APK.
  8. App opens normally again.
  9. - Happens on two devices: Android 14 and Android 16.
    • Realtime Database URL is US region

This happens even with FirebaseToken blank and Persist set to false.

Please confirm if the built-in FirebaseDB component currently has a runtime/build issue, or if there are specific Firebase project/database requirements.

AIA can be supplied if needed.

Yes it does, it is currently broken, and may not be fixed.

Use the Firebase RealtimeDatabase REST api with the AppInventor Web component.

Thank you, I will do that. Was just a question of time before that bit me….

Hi,
You can try the extension FirebaseManager, for your app.

Thank you, I switched to WEB component already…
