This Browser is not supported in iOS simulator

Question

I am getting an error in react-native, This Browser is not supported, in the iOS simulator, after running the following code:

const firebase = requi         


        

Answer 1

Apparently, the new Firebase Javascript client library depends on localStorage, and thus fails to start in some cases, such as Safari in Private Browsing Mode.

As a workaround, I uploaded a patched version of the new client library to github: https://github.com/urish/firebase-localstorage-fix/blob/master/firebase.js

I do hope that the team will fix this issue soon, but in the meantime the patched version does the trick for me.
