Research direction

Start at the loginWithGoogle method in auth.service.ts and reproduce the native path with the listed Angular, Firebase, Ionic, and Capacitor versions. Compare the behavior around SocialLogin.login, GoogleAuthProvider.credential, and signInWithCredential, and verify that the device no longer becomes unresponsive and that failures produce an error.

Description

Version info

"@angular/core": "19.2.3"
"@angular/fire": "^19.0.0",
"firebase": "^10.14.1",
"@ionic/angular": "^8.3.4",
"@capacitor/core": "^6.1.0",

Code

import { Auth, GoogleAuthProvider, signInWithCredential, signInWithPopup, UserCredential } from '@angular/fire/auth';

private auth = inject(Auth); //* Firebase Auth instance

async loginWithGoogle(): Promise<UserCredential> {
        SummonLogger.trace('auth.service.ts', 'loginWithGoogle');
        try {
            const provider = new GoogleAuthProvider();

            if (!Capacitor.isNativePlatform()) {
                return signInWithPopup(this.auth, provider);
            } else {
                // Native auth (capacitor)
                await this.initGoogleProvider();
                await this.clearGoogleSocialLoginSession();
                const res = await SocialLogin.login({ provider: 'google', options: {} });
                this.provider = 'google';
                const googleResult = res.result as GoogleLoginResponse;
                const credential = GoogleAuthProvider.credential(googleResult.idToken);
                return await signInWithCredential(this.auth, credential);
            }
        } catch (error) {
            SummonLogger.error('auth.service.ts', 'loginWithGoogle() - error', error);
            return Promise.reject(error);
        }
    }

Issue

When the signInWithCredential method is invoked, the device becomes unresponsive, seemingly freezing in place. Despite this halt in functionality, no error messages or alerts are displayed to indicate the problem.
