firebase-cpp-sdk: iOS 15 crash with build on Xcode 13 (sandbox?)

[REQUIRED] Step 1: Describe your environment

Xcode version: 13
Firebase SDK version: 8.6 (Firebase for Unity - 8.2)
Installation method: CocoaPods
Firebase Component: Auth, Core, Firestore, Functions, Messaging, Crashlytics, Dynamic Links, Remote Config, Installations

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe the problem

Steps to reproduce:

This release we’ve updated Firebase Unity SDK from 6.15.2 to 8.2 (8.6 iOS). After releasing build with Xcode 13 we’ve started receiving crashes shown below. Testers with iOS 15 may open the app during the first session, but it’s crashed in the next one. Users without test accounts (TF access) look like not facing this issue (checked on a few personal devices), but we are receiving crashes from AppStore (with no “Beta: YES” record).

Workaround: Add to Info.plist record: FirebaseAppStoreReceiptURLCheckEnabled = NO

May you please help me to understand if this check is necessary and why?

Important note: The issue is present only if build on Xcode 13, build with Xcode 12.5 is working correctly on iOS 15.

Unfortunately version 8.7.0 did not fix this issue for us. Behavior is same as before. App works correctly first time it’s opened. Every other time it will hang on “Loading UIApplication category for Firebase App”.

We are using only Firebase Analytics. Unity 2020.3.0f1

This issue should be marked critical since apps are unusable unless FirebaseAppStoreReceiptURLCheckEnabled = 0 is used.

@jonsimantov @a-maurice @DellaBitta Please take a look at this.

@jonsimantov @chkuang-g

I saw there was an update to the Unity SDK that referenced the two issues @chkuang-g said were the fixes: #706 #783

I’ve updated our project to this version and done a build but can confirm the issues still persists.

If I don’t have FirebaseAppStoreReceiptURLCheckEnabled set to false, the app will crash/get stuck on a subsequent load.

This is all I see in the Xcode log before it crashes.

I transferred this issue, since it looks related to the C++ runtime initializing the logger before the Objective C [NSBundle mainBundle] is initialized.

In the meantime, your workaround should be ok.

paulb777 on Oct 6, 2021

We found adding UnityFramework.framework to the “Link Binary with Libraries” was the only solution for us. Adding that stopped the crash and allowed us to remove the FirebaseAppStoreReceiptURLCheckEnabled flag.

Incidentally, it also cleared up a bunch of other crashes we hadn’t been able to reproduce.

DFC005 on Feb 16, 2022

For folks that are using the Unity SDK, we have just released a new version, 8.8.0, which is based on the recent C++ release of 8.9.0 (which had some fixes for this issue), along with https://github.com/firebase/firebase-cpp-sdk/commit/cf200546315de1f3630252dadaa0825ca5ad6a72 (which is some functionality normally only used by the Unity SDK).

We believe this should cover the calls to the GoogleUtilities logger coming before it has properly been initialized.

We found the reason with this following issue. The Unity Notification updates fixes it. issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/ios-app-freezes-slash-crashes-when-both-mobile-notifications-and-firebase-are-used

Yeah, after updating com.unity.mobile.notifications package to v.2.0.0 the crash/hang in Firebase Unity 8.7.0 (not containing the fix in 8.8.0) goes away.

Here is the link to the actual change: https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/com.unity.mobile.notifications/commit/437f031082a4416ed68a68bfc00cd03e6890795b

How do you setup UnityFramework.framework in a post ios build script?

Add this to your projects editor folder.

public static class PostProcessUnityFrameworkFixIOS
    {
        [PostProcessBuild(2)]
        public static void OnPostProcessBuild(BuildTarget buildTarget, string path)
        {
            if (buildTarget == BuildTarget.iOS)
            {
                UnityEditor.iOS.Xcode.PBXProject project = new UnityEditor.iOS.Xcode.PBXProject();
                string configFilePath = UnityEditor.iOS.Xcode.PBXProject.GetPBXProjectPath(path);
                project.ReadFromFile(configFilePath);

                string targetGuid = project.GetUnityMainTargetGuid();
                project.AddFrameworkToProject(targetGuid, "UnityFramework.framework", false);
                
                project.SetBuildProperty(targetGuid, "ENABLE_BITCODE", "NO");
                project.SetBuildProperty(project.TargetGuidByName(PBXProject.GetUnityTestTargetName()), "ENABLE_BITCODE", "NO");
                project.SetBuildProperty(project.GetUnityFrameworkTargetGuid(), "ENABLE_BITCODE", "NO");

                project.WriteToFile(configFilePath);
            }
        }
    }

You are right about the cause of the problem, and good to hear that 8.8.0 did indeed fix the issue for you. And yeah, I know how tricky it is to update the version of the SDK you are using, we’ve tried to make it simpler, but it is still messy.

We did track down another possible way to fix it; essentially, 8.8.0 removed all the calls we could track down to the underlying FIRLogger that were happening before initialization was done, and a different possible fix was to change our logging to only call into FIRLogger after initialization is done. If anyone is still experiencing the problem with 8.8.0, they can try this alternate fix via firebase_unity_sdk_8.8.1.zip. Note that this hasn’t gone through the full release process, so the usual download links will still be pointing at 8.8.0, this is currently just for testing purposes for folks that still had a problem when trying with 8.8.0 (though it might not be necessary anymore).

a-maurice on Feb 9, 2022

I must have screwed up the update 🤦‍♀️. Android was fine but my pods were as you correctly pointed out not updated properly. @Andreyul Thanks a lot for taking the time and helping me out.

I can therefore confirm as well that the 8.8.0 fixed the issue for us as well. I apologize for the confusion.

jsvitek on Feb 8, 2022

~~Unfortunately version 8.8.0 did not fix the issue for us.~~

After updating the SDK our app hangs on Loading UIApplication category for Firebase App just as before. Adding FirebaseAppStoreReceiptURLCheckEnabled flag and setting it to true still works as a workaround. This will however result in ios not reporting default in_app_purchase events at all which is causing headaches for us.

Version 8.8.0 fixed the issue for us as well.

jsvitek on Feb 8, 2022

I found a solution to this eventually. In Xcode go to the “Build Phases” part of the project file. From there you can see the “Link Binary with Libraries” section. Add the “UnityFramework.framework” to this list. unity set: UnityEditor.iOS.Xcode.PBXProject project = new UnityEditor.iOS.Xcode.PBXProject(); string configFilePath = UnityEditor.iOS.Xcode.PBXProject.GetPBXProjectPath(pathToBuiltProject); project.ReadFromFile(configFilePath); string targetGuid = project.GetUnityMainTargetGuid(); project.AddFrameworkToProject(targetGuid, “UnityFramework.framework”, false); project.WriteToFile(configFilePath);

This fix is working for us too, but requires disabling bitcode as the Unityframework isn’t compiled for bitcode. I’m also unsure about what this changes from the Unityframework that Unity builds when compiling the xCode project. Do you have an explanation of why this works?

Loading timing is different. Firebase used it before the UnityFramework was loaded, so it crashed. After linked, enter the game and load the UnityFramework first

vachh on Jan 7, 2022

@jonsimantov Is there any more update on this issue? It’s absolutely critical that its fixed for us. We currently can’t run any A/B test on purchases for iOS as the current “fix” to the crash causes no purchasing data to appear in Firebase dashboard.

Not to mention we can no longer use or trust any LTV data etc which is essential for running acquisition campaigns.
