Firebase is not getting initialized right
So, I wanted to include firebase into my Flutter App, it works fine for android but when I start it on my ios emulator it will always give me this error
[VERBOSE-2:ui_dart_state.cc(209)] Unhandled Exception: [core/not-initialized] Firebase has not been correctly initialized. Usually this means you've attempted to use a Firebase service before calling
Firebase.initializeApp
. View the documentation for more information: https://firebase.flutter.dev/docs/overview#initialization
I have the google-service file in the right directory and I followed the tutorial and edited my main() to:
Future<void> main() async {
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
await Firebase.initializeApp();
runApp(const MyApp());
}
Has anybody the same problem with IOS or did I do anything wrong?
So for everybody else getting this error I figured it out myself, for IOS, the line
Firebase.initializeApp()
it needs an option:
Firebase.initializeApp(options: DefaultFirebaseOptions.currentPlatform)
for that follow the instructions on this link:
https://firebase.flutter.dev/docs/cli
hope that helps anyone
- Install Firebase CLI if it is not installed in your system.
-
Next, install the FlutterFire CLI or by running the following command:
dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli
. Once installed, the flutterfire command will be globally available. - Run
flutterfire configure
in your flutter project folder in terminal, - Select a Firebase project to configure your Flutter application with,
- Select/Insert android app id and bundle id you want to use as and when it asks you.
- and get firebase_options.dart.
- In main.dart file import firebase_options.dart.
- In void main() use following code.
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized(); if (Platform.isIOS) { await Firebase.initializeApp( options: DefaultFirebaseOptions.currentPlatform, ); } else { await Firebase.initializeApp(); } runApp( const MaterialApp( home: MyApp(), ), );
