I'm trying to unlink email/password authentication from a user in Swift on iOS. I've read the documentation and managed to link and unlink Facebook authentication without a problem. However, after linking email/password credentials successfully, the providerData object is nil. The providerID is "Firebase" but when I pass that to the unlink code the following error is thrown:
Error Domain=FIRAuthErrorDomain Code=17016 "User was not linked to an account with the given provider." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=User was not linked to an account with the given provider., error_name=ERROR_NO_SUCH_PROVIDER}
The unlink code I'm using is:
let providerId = (FIRAuth.auth()?.currentUser?.providerID)!
print("Trying to unlink:",providerId) // providerId = "Firebase"
FIRAuth.auth()?.currentUser?.unlinkFromProvider(providerId) { user, error in
if let error = error {
print("Unlink error:", error)
} else {
// Provider unlinked from account successfully
print("Unlinked...user.uid:", user!.uid, "Anonymous?:", user!.anonymous)
}
}
Reading the docs and having got it working for Facebook, I expected the providerData array to be populated with something after email authentication. So is my linking code wrong (it doesn't throw an error and appears to work fine)?
My linking code:
let credential = FIREmailPasswordAuthProvider.credentialWithEmail(email, password: password)
FIRAuth.auth()?.currentUser!.linkWithCredential(credential) { (user, error) in
if user != nil && error == nil {
// Success
self.success?(user: user!)
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), {
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
if type == "new" {
print("New user logged in...")
}
if type == "existing" {
print("Existing user logged in...")
}
})
} else {
print("Login error:",error)
self.showOKAlertWithTitle("Login Error", message: error!.localizedDescription)
}
}
Any pointers of how I can modify my approach would be great.
To get the profile information retrieved from the sign-in providers linked to a user, use the providerData property.
if let user = FIRAuth.auth()?.currentUser {
for profile in user.providerData {
// Id of the provider (ex: facebook.com)
let providerID = profile.providerID
}
} else {
// No user is signed in.
}
Calling FIRAuth.auth()?.currentUser?.providerID will result to "firebase".

I'm trying to get basic details of a user signing into my app with their Twitter account. I am able to sign them in but not too sure where to go from here.
I'm pretty sure I need to use this get request but am unsure how to structure the request. Am also a little lost which token I include.
I haven't had much experience with the REST API as you could tell. I have Postman set up so if someone could point me in the right direction about accessing the data I could take it from there.
Thanks
#IBAction func twitterSignupPress() {
provider.getCredentialWith(nil) { credential, error in
if error != nil {
print("Error attempting to sign up using Twitter: \(error!)")
} else {
Auth.auth().signIn(with: credential!) { authResult, error in
if error != nil {
print("Error with Twitter signin")
} else {
print("Successful signin using Twitter")
let oAuthCredential = authResult?.credential as! OAuthCredential
print(oAuthCredential.accessToken!) // Prints token
print(oAuthCredential.idToken) // Prints nil
}
}
}
}
}
Was as simple as adding authResult?.additionalUserInfo?.profile
After many tests I decided to create a new xCode project to better understand Firebase authentication with multiple providers.
I set up in Firebase -> SignIn Methods -> An account per email address
An account per email address
Prevents users from creating multiple
accounts using the same email address with different authentication
providers
At this point I have implemented, carefully following the Firebase guide, the login with Facebook and with Google .. Everything seems to work perfectly but I always find myself with the same error that I can't manage:
When my user creates a Firebase account via Google he is no longer able to log in if he decides to use Facebook.
Facebook returns its error when it completes its authentication flow with Firebase:
Firebase Error With Facebook Provider: An account already exists with the same email address but different sign-in credentials. Sign in using a provider associated with this email address.
Continuing to follow the documentation step by step I stopped here (firebase explains how to handle this error)
I have also implemented error handling but after calling Auth.auth().fetchSignInMethods Firebase says I should authenticate the user with the existing provider, at this point how do I get the credentials for authentication with the existing provider?
I wouldn't want to reopen the existing provider controller to get new credentials
Am I obliged to ask the user to log in with the existing provider and show another access controller again (in this case that of Google)?
How should I handle this situation?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
facebookSetup()
}
func facebookSetup() {
let loginButton = FBLoginButton(permissions: [ .publicProfile, .email ])
loginButton.center = view.center
loginButton.delegate = self
view.addSubview(loginButton)
}
//MARK: - FACEBOOK Delegate
func loginButton(_ loginButton: FBLoginButton, didCompleteWith result: LoginManagerLoginResult?, error: Error?) {
if let error = error {
print(error.localizedDescription)
return
}
let credential = FacebookAuthProvider.credential(withAccessToken: AccessToken.current!.tokenString)
Auth.auth().signIn(with: credential) { (authResult, error) in
if let error = error {
print("\n FIREBASE: ",error.localizedDescription)
// An account with the same email already exists.
if (error as NSError?)?.code == AuthErrorCode.accountExistsWithDifferentCredential.rawValue {
// Get pending credential and email of existing account.
let existingAcctEmail = (error as NSError).userInfo[AuthErrorUserInfoEmailKey] as! String
let pendingCred = (error as NSError).userInfo[AuthErrorUserInfoUpdatedCredentialKey] as! AuthCredential
// Lookup existing account identifier by the email.
Auth.auth().fetchSignInMethods(forEmail: existingAcctEmail) { providers, error in
if (providers?.contains(GoogleAuthProviderID))! {
// Sign in with existing account.
Auth.auth().signIn(with: "? ? ? ?") { user, error in
// Successfully signed in.
if user != nil {
// Link pending credential to account.
Auth.auth().currentUser?.link(with: pendingCred) { result, error in
// Link Facebook to Google Account
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
I incorporated Firebase's email verification for my iOS mobile app and am trying to resolve the following issues:
The length of the redirect url appears extremely long. It looks like it repeats itself.
https://app.page.link?link=https://app.firebaseapp.com//auth/action?apiKey%3XXX%26mode%3DverifyEmail%26oobCode%3XXX%26continueUrl%3Dhttps://www.app.com/?verifyemail%253Demail#gmail.com%26lang%3Den&ibi=com.app.app&ifl=https://app.firebaseapp.com//auth/action?apiKey%3XXX%26mode%3DverifyEmail%26oobCode%3XXX%26continueUrl%3Dhttps://www.app.com/?verifyemail%253Demail#gmail.com%26lang%3Den
When I set handleCodeInApp equal to true, and am redirected back to the app when I click on the redirect url, the user's email is not verified. Whereas when I set it to false and go through Firebase's provided web widget, it does get verified. Wasn't able to find documentation that outlined handling the former in swift...
Any thoughts are appreciated.
func sendActivationEmail(_ user: User) {
let actionCodeSettings = ActionCodeSettings.init()
let redirectUrl = String(format: "https://www.app.com/?verifyemail=%#", user.email!)
actionCodeSettings.handleCodeInApp = true
actionCodeSettings.url = URL(string: redirectUrl)
actionCodeSettings.setIOSBundleID("com.app.app")
Auth.auth().currentUser?.sendEmailVerification(with: actionCodeSettings) { error in
guard error == nil else {
AlertController.showAlert(self, title: "Send Error", message: error!.localizedDescription)
return
}
}
}
Make sure you're verifying the oobCode that is part of the callback URL.
Auth.auth().applyActionCode(oobCode!, completion: { (err) in
if err == nil {
// reload the current user
}
})
Once you have done that, try reloading the the user's profile from the server after verifying the email.
Auth.auth().currentUser?.reload(completion: {
(error) in
if(Auth.auth().currentUser?.isEmailVerified)! {
print("email verified")
} else {
print("email NOT verified")
}
})
I have an iOS app that uses Firebase as a backend for authentication.
Once a user logs in and then closes the app, I don't want the user to have to re-enter their email and password. My approach is to save the access token after a successful login to the Keychain, and then when the user comes back to the app, use the token from the keychain to signin.
I've tried using the method FIRAuth.auth()?.signInWithCustomToken(customToken) { (user, error) in but that's not quite right as that's for when using custom tokens, which is not what I'm doing.
Is there a way for me to do this?
// login with email / password
FIRAuth.auth()?.signInWithEmail(email, password: password, completion: { (firebaseUser, error) in
if error == nil {
FIRAuth.auth()!.currentUser!.getTokenWithCompletion({ (token, error) in
if error == nil {
// save token to keychain
} else {
print(error)
}
})
} else {
print(error)
}
})
// user comes back to app
do {
// get saved token from keychain
if let myToken = try keychain.get("token") {
FIRAuth.auth()?.signInWithCustomToken(myToken, completion: { (user: FIRUser?, error: NSError?) in
if error == nil {
// show post login screen
} else {
}
})
}
} catch {
// error getting token from keychain
}
}
I was approaching this problem in the wrong way. Saving a token is appropriate when using a 3rd party authentication provider, like Facebook, Google, etc and getting an OAuth token in return from one of those services.
In my case when logging in using email and password, a token is not required and instead the password can be securely saved in the Keychain and used later for login.
I am trying to implement Parse + Facebook
Here is what I would like to do:
User Log In with Facebook
Login Authorized
A new User created from Facebook properties (gender, age, name, etc)
Below is my code which logs in to Facebook using PFFacebookUtils. The code successfully created a User on my Parse, but I don't have those details of the User from Facebook which I want to use.
I would like to get the user's name, gender, hometown, etc on Facebook.
How do I achieve that??
var permissionArray = ["public_profile","user_friends","email","user_birthday", "user_work_history", "user_education_history", "user_hometown", "user_location", "user_likes"]; on Facebook
PFFacebookUtils.logInInBackgroundWithReadPermissions(permissionArray) { (user: PFUser?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
if user != nil {
if user!.isNew {
println("New User");
}
else {
println("Old User");
}
println(user?.username);
}
else {
println("Login Cancel")
}
}
You need to request the users "me" data, and then you can use that to populate your user object. So, in your if user!.isNew { you'll need to do something along the lines of...
let fbDetailsRequest = FBRequest.requestForMe()
fbDetailsRequest.startWithCompletionHandler { connection, result, error in
if error != nil {
// Handle the error
}
if let graph = result as? FBGraphObject {
// Now you can fill out the data on your user object
user!.setObject(graph.objectForKey("email")!, forKey: "email")
user!.setObject(graph.objectForKey("gender")!, forKey: "gender")
// Don't forget to save afterwards...
user!.saveInBackgroundWithBlock(nil)
}
}
To see the fields you can grab, check out https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/user If you need anything other than "core" items, you might have to have extra permissions.
