I think your problem lies here, in the - (void)signInWithProviderUI:(id)providerUI method.

The delegate method is called in the dismissViewControllerAnimated:completion: completion block.

[self.navigationController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{
        [self.authUI invokeResultCallbackWithUser:user error:error];
      }];

As you can see from the Apple docs, this method is expected to be called on a modally presented viewController. You are displaying it as a root view controller. Try displaying it with a modal from a UIViewController, and things should work out. To debug this try and set a breakpoint at line 193 to see that it won't get hit. I would be very surprised if this doesn't work when you display the authController modally.

To come up with a possible solution to your problem (I am assuming you want to ensure a user is signed in before using your app). The below is a simplification of what I am using in an app currently.

EDIT: Updated for the new 1.0.0 FirebaseUI syntax.

class MainTabController: UITabBarController, FIRAuthUIDelegate {

    let authUI: FUIAuth? = FUIAuth.defaultAuthUI()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        var authProviders =  [FUIFacebookAuth(), FUIGoogleAuth()]
        authUI.delegate = self
        authUI.providers = authProviders

        //I use this method for signing out when I'm developing  
        //try! FIRAuth.auth()?.signOut()

    }

    override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewDidAppear(animated)

        if !isUserSignedIn() {
            showLoginView()
        }
    }

    private func isUserSignedIn() -> Bool {
      guard FIRAuth.auth()?.currentUser != nil else { return false }
      return true
    }

    private func showLoginView() {
      if let authVC = FUIAuth.defaultAuthUI()?.authViewController() {
        present(authVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
      }
   }
    func authUI(_ authUI: FUIAuth, didSignInWith user: FIRUser?, error: Error?) {
        guard let user = user else {
            print(error)
            return
        }

        ...
    }
