[🐛] Type mismatch between initializeApp return value and getAuth variable

[aaroncraigongithub]

Issue

The following code snippet triggers Typescript errors:

import { initializeApp } from "@react-native-firebase/app";
import { getAuth } from "@react-native-firebase/auth";

const firebaseConfig = { ... };
const app = initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
const auth = getAuth(app);

The issue is that initializeApp returns a ReactNativeFirebase.FirebaseApp while getAuth wants a FirebaseApp as defined in fiirebase/app-types.

The first has an extra utils() property, and is missing a required automaticDataCollectionEnabled property expected by the auth module.

This is in a ReactNative (expo) project, where I am building for both native and web.

I discovered that the following seems to solve the issue for now:

getAuth({ ...app, automaticDataCollectionEnabled: false });
