Questions about Firebase

I am just starting to check out Firebase. To start, I want to use it for Authentication and Database. I used their guide to set up my project, so I have a project in the backend, I have the SDK for Authentication imported, I have the plist file in my Unity project.

I've tried a few things, all within the Unity editor, and they don't seem to be working, at least on the backend side. In Unity I am hitting all the right spots in my code, according to my debug messages. I am creating a Firebase user, but the user doesn't appear in the Firebase backend. The code indicates that the user is created though. Here is the code I'm using:

Code (CSharp):

1. FirebaseAuth _auth;
2. FirebaseUser _user;
3.  
4. void Start()
5. {
6.     InitializeFirebase();
7.     _auth.CreateUserWithEmailAndPasswordAsync("mattbrand@gmail.com", "testtest").ContinueWith(task =>
8.     {
9.         if (task.IsCanceled)
10.         {
11.             Debug.LogError("CreateUserWithEmailAndPasswordAsync was canceled.");
12.             return;
13.         }
14.         if (task.IsFaulted)
15.         {
16.             Debug.LogError("CreateUserWithEmailAndPasswordAsync encountered an error: " + task.Exception);
17.             return;
18.         }
19.         Debug.Log("Complete");
20.  
21.         // Firebase user has been created.
22.         _user = task.Result;
23.         Debug.LogFormat("Firebase user created successfully: " + _user.DisplayName + " " + _user.UserId);
24.     });
25. }
26.  
27. void OnDestroy()
28. {
29.     if (_auth != null)
30.     {
31.         _auth.StateChanged -= AuthStateChanged;
32.         _auth = null;
33.     }
34. }
35.  
36. void InitializeFirebase()
37. {
38.     Debug.Log("InitializeFirebase");
39.     _auth = Firebase.Auth.FirebaseAuth.DefaultInstance;
40.     _auth.StateChanged += AuthStateChanged;
41.     AuthStateChanged(this, null);
42. }
43.  
44. void AuthStateChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs eventArgs)
45. {
46.     Debug.Log("AuthStateChanged!");
47.     if (_auth != null)
48.         Debug.Log("_auth.CurrentUser = " + _auth.CurrentUser + " _user = " + _user);
49.     if (_auth.CurrentUser != _user)
50.     {
51.         bool signedIn = _user != _auth.CurrentUser && _auth.CurrentUser != null;
52.         if (!signedIn && _user != null)
53.         {
54.             Debug.Log("Signed out " + _user.UserId);
55.         }
56.         _user = _auth.CurrentUser;
57.         if (signedIn)
58.         {
59.             Debug.Log("Signed in " + _user.UserId);
60.         }
61.     }
62. }

Anyone with experience with Firebase can help me on this?

 

I got this answer at the Firebase forums:

"We only partially support working in the editor, with only Storage and Realtime Database hitting the backends, see https://firebase.google.com/docs/unity/setup#stub_implementations_for_the_editor . You'll need to deploy to a device, iOS or Android to test."
