Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported uiConfig with AnonymousAuthProvider and trace the sign-in path that reaches the reported signInAnonymously TypeError. Done means anonymous sign-in works through react-firebaseui without that error; the payload does not name a source file or test to run.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

  • Using AnonymousAuthProvider signInOptions does not work with react-firebaseui.
  • It throws the following error: Uncaught TypeError: fn(...).signInAnonymously is not a function

Below is what my uiConfig looks like.

import { auth as firebaseuiAuth } from 'firebaseui';

const uiConfig = {
  signInFlow: 'popup',
  signInOptions: [
    firebaseuiAuth.AnonymousAuthProvider.PROVIDER_ID,
  ],
};
