I\'m trying to implement firestore in my project. What I\'m doing right now is just implementing it and read some data, but I get the error in the title :

XMLHttpReq

Answer 1

Sounds like you need to update your Firestore Security Rules. You can do this via the "Rules" tab of the Database page in the Firebase Console website.

Docs about Firestore Rules are here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/security/get-started

You can use this ruleset to make it accessible to anyone. I would use these rules just to make sure that you were able to fix your problem. After that, I would tweak your rules so they match the amount of security (or sensitivity) your app's data needs.

service cloud.firestore { match /databases/{database}/documents { match /{document=**} { allow read, write: if true; } } }

For anyone else with this same issue, it has been reported and the resolution is still in progress: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-js-sdk/issues/3708

Edit: Even though the thread in the link above wasn't resolved, it was closed. The issue still occurs for me.
