[iOS][FCM] Cannot get new token when use 'messaging().deleteToken()'

[kratuwu]

Issue

I need to delete token and get renew token, I try to use messaging().deleteToken()

await requestUserPermission();
const token1 = await messaging().getToken();
console.log(token1);

await messaging().deleteToken();

const token2 = await messaging().getToken();
console.log(token2);

For Android working find but iOS still log same value of token2 and token1

Just a guess, have you tried waiting / retrying and seeing if it changes?
Hypothesis: it is "more than async", in that the await is returning but there is some network process still happening outside of the Promise return, and it will resolve to a different value after some unknown amount of time passes.

Hypothesis could be wrong but easy test to run

[kratuwu]

@mikehardy Yes, I have tried and reload the app again but still got the same value. It happen only iOS, for android it’s working find

[mikehardy]

I don't mean "reload", I mean in the very same execution context - not with an app reload that would call deleteToken again, after a single delete call, retrying the fetch token a few times (with exponential back-off maybe) to see if it changes underneath the code

[kratuwu]

@mikehardy Yes, I mean I have tried it both.

const token1 = await messaging().getToken();
console.log(token1);
await messaging().deleteToken();
const token2 = await messaging().getToken();
console.log(token2);
const token3 = await messaging().getToken();
console.log(token3);
const token4 = await messaging().getToken();
console.log(token4);
const token5 = await messaging().getToken();
console.log(token5);

still got the same token. When I try to reload app, it still got same token as before I reload and after that the token cannot use to register anymore.

I need to tell that everything working fine with Android but this issue happen only iOS. I'm not sure which method that is at issue deleteToken or getToken do not refresh new token

[mikehardy]

There is no sleep there, add a multi-second sleep, imagine network latency, replicated databases doing a 2-phase commit with consensus on multiple nodes in the apple cloud etc to persist the token - the hypothesis is it could take a couple seconds to come back. Wait as long as a minute maybe between the delete call and the final token log to really see if it is some cloud process

Sorry to pester I just don't think the awaits here are enough to be the test I was looking for yet

[kratuwu]

@mikehardy I have already tried to sleep 1 minute is it enough for you? and if it's related to response time, why everything working fine "react-native-firebase": "5.5.6"?

[mikehardy]

1 minute's good - thank you. Difference between 5.x and 6+ - no idea but I know there was a lot of work in the area and the crew was happy after they finished testing everything in #3339 - perhaps this was missed though, have you tried tracing through or instrumenting deleteToken to make sure it is called?

[kratuwu]

@mikehardy Yes, it is called fcm api when execute messaging().deleteToken()

[mikehardy]

@kratuwu that is both fortunate and unfortunate - unless there is some caching on the token in this module (does getToken() do any caching in the javascript or the objective-C in this module? I doubt it) then this indicates either an unsupported test scenario (possible but unlikely) or an upstream bug in https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk - have you looked there?

I notice you specified package.json versions at ^7.10 which should include the most up to date iOS SDK (4db9dbc) so I'm not sure where else to look if not in the underlying SDK now

[mikehardy]

@kratuwu it appears that @dackers86 reproduces this in his (unrelated, but in the same area) work today, and points towards the underlying SDK if my understanding is correct: #3725 (comment) - have you looked upstream yet? they may have an open issue

[kratuwu]

@mikehardy I saw this pull request firebase/firebase-ios-sdk#5339 look similar but was merged since April.

[mikehardy]

That one looks to have shipped in SDK release 6.23.0, and you should be on 6.25.0, you can verify with Podfile.lock - might be a fresh issue 🤔 - I'm sorry I haven't been more help, you appear to have isolated the issue such that we're pretty sure you're calling APIs correctly, we're pretty we are calling the underlying APIs correctly, and I'm not much help beyond that 😞

[kratuwu]

Yes, my Podfile.lock SDK version is 6.25, Do you know this issue gonna fix soon?
