🔥NSInvalidArgumentException: -[__NSCFBoolean length]: unrecognized selector sent to instance

[guillaume-g]

🔥 Hello guys,

First I want to thank you all for your work !

[x] If this is a setup issue then please make sure you've correctly followed the setup guides, most setup issues such as 'duplicate dex files', 'default app has not been initialized' etc are all down to an incorrect setup as the guides haven't been correctly followed.

Issue

When I try to request permissions on iOS, I got the following error and then the application crash.
This is a problem related to iOS, Android is working perfectly fine.
I have followed every step on your documentation, every configuration, I have been on this issue for a week...
Everything is correctly linked, I am using Messaging, Performance, etc and only messaging as a problem, only on iOS.

Two behaviours => it either ask for permissions then crash or just crash, when requestPermission() is called.

• Platform that you're experiencing the issue on:
  • [x ] iOS
  • Android
  • iOS but have not tested behavior on Android
  • Android but have not tested behavior on iOS
  • Both
• react-native-firebase version you're using that has this issue:
  • 6.7.1
• Firebase module(s) you're using that has the issue:
  • @react-native-firebase/messaging
• Are you using TypeScript?
  • No

Thanks in advance for your help, I am really stuck here and it's the only bug left before production <3

• 👉 Check out React Native Firebase and Invertase on Twitter for updates on the library.

I think you need the results of #3339 which are present in version 6.7.1. Please try upgrading, re-testing, and reporting back?

[guillaume-g]

Hi,

I indeed upgraded to the latest version and it worked !

Thanks ;)
