I'm building my first iOS application, and I am using Firebase to handle authentication, database, etc. I added a sign up screen and used the following code to create a new user:
FIRAuth.auth()?.createUserWithEmail(emailAddress.text!, password: password.text!, completion: { (user, error) in
})
When the user taps on the sign up button, there is a segue that should take them back to the original login view controller. However, when I got to run the app, it hangs on the launch screen. Here is the debugger output:

I can provide additional information as needed, any help/advice would be greatly appreciated as I am just starting out and looking to learn as much as possible. Have a great day!
I had a problem with a Messages Extension :
If you're in an App Extension, you have no delegate, and you'll have to put the FIRApp.configure() in the init of your main ViewController (or in the viewDidLoad as suggested).
Problem is : in a Messages Extension, if the user presses several messages in the thread opening your extension, init (or viewdidLoad) will be called several times, therefore crashing due to FIRApp.configure() called several times...
The solution I found was to create a static bool in the main View Controller :
static var isAlreadyLaunchedOnce = false // Used to avoid 2 FIRApp configure
and I test it before calling FIRApp.configure() in the init or viewDidLoad :
// Configure Firebase
// ------------------
// We check if FIRApp has already been configured with a static var, else it will crash...
if !MessagesViewController.isAlreadyLaunchedOnce {
FIRApp.configure()
MessagesViewController.isAlreadyLaunchedOnce = true
}
This way, no more crashes.
Oh, I found a much more elegant way to solve the problem here : iOS Extension - Fatal Exception: com.firebase.core Default app has already been configured
// Configure Firebase
// ------------------
if FIRApp.defaultApp() == nil {
FIRApp.configure()
}
No more static this way ;)
