React Native Firebase Push Notification Crash Report Problem

Question

I am building an app with React Native. With React Native Firebase, I am adding push notification functionality. When I open a push notification from quit state, the app opens and hangs at the splash screen for a while, and then crashes.

Here is the crash report from the device, symbolicated. Honestly, I am new to programming and so I am having trouble in interpreting below report. I assume that there is a problem with RNSplashScreen module or AppDelegate.m, but can't be sure.

Can anyone help me out in interpreting this and point me to what might be a root cause/where to look at?

Thanks!

The termination reason has some critical, if cryptic information. Take a look at this question, it should help clarify a bit: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/773442/what-does-8badf00d-mean#779387 — Mattie, Mar 12 '21 at 10:40

I had the same issue after adding React Native Firebase to my project and found the answer in this issue: https://github.com/crazycodeboy/react-native-splash-screen/issues/397

The real cause is in the react-native-splash-screen. Firebase requires to change "Background modes" in your App's Capabilities, this causes react-native-splash-screen to go into loop in RNSplashScreen.m:

while (waiting) {
    NSDate* later = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:0.1];
    [[NSRunLoop mainRunLoop] runUntilDate:later];
}

You can find it in this part of the backtrace:

5   Foundation                      0x00000001ae1b1df0 -[NSRunLoop+ 36336 (NSRunLoop) runMode:beforeDate:] + 232
6   Foundation                      0x00000001ae1b1cbc -[NSRunLoop+ 36028 (NSRunLoop) runUntilDate:] + 92
7   myapp                           0x00000001005d15f0 +[RNSplashScreen show] (in myapp) (RNSplashScreen.m:31) + 5641712

To solve the problem you need to modify your AppDelegate.m, replace

[RNSplashScreen show]

with

[RNSplashScreen showSplash:@"LaunchScreen" inRootView:rootView];

But be careful, if your project uses LaunchScreen.storyboard instead of LaunchScreen.xib, you can catch this error:

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Could not load NIB in bundle: 'NSBundle </private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/D22A78C5-5733-4511-85BF-217A3BAEB6AB/myapp.app> (loaded)' with name 'LaunchScreen''

In this case you need to create the new View named "LaunchScreen" and copy-paste here your launch view from the LaunchScreen.storyboard.

Great answer, saved the day for me, this should be a selected answer with 100s of upvotes, great job — Divyanshu Negi, Oct 08 '21 at 08:10
