* fix(messaging,ios): keep original UNUserNotificationCenter delegate

Keeps a reference to any original UNUserNotificationCenter delegates that are set before we replace the delegate with out own implementation. Internally we will also call the original delegate if our code does not already handle the delegate call. This should keep compatibility with other RN modules that set the delegate.

v6.4.0 Messaging focused release with features, bug fixes and documentation updates. 2020-04-03

Features

  • iOS: added a Podfile option to allow using React Native Firebase packages as static frameworks (#3253) (#530f8bb)

Messaging

  • added support for onNotificationOpenedApp & getInitialNotification APIs.
    • these can be used to detect if a user opened the app via pressing a notification. (#d66a611)
  • the RemoteMessage event (e.g. via onMessage) now includes a notification payload (if present). (#d66a611)
  • setBackgroundMessageHandler now supported on iOS. (#d66a611)
  • the iOS permissions API has been upgraded to now support custom permissions.
    • the permission API selects sensible defaults, however; allows you to fully customize them if required.
    • provisional permissions are now disabled by default (previously, it was enabled by default for iOS 12+ devices). (#d66a611)
  • the requestPermission & hasPermission APIs now returns the current authorization status as an enum, rather than a boolean value.

Bug Fixes

  • iOS: update in-app-messaging dependency to latest package name in iOS InAppMessaging (#166692d)

Analytics

Authentication

  • user.metadata.lastSignInTime & user.metadata.creationTime now correctly return an ISO date string (#2555) (#8adef65)
  • switch ShortLinkType interface to an enum (#870d0a1)
  • fix links options not correctly applied in iOS (#54bc6f8)
  • fix missing return statement causing bug in iOS (#3315) (#1661f6e)

Firestore

  • improve Firestore query validation;
  • where field parameter cannot match orderBy parameter (#6311dc8)
  • field path cannot be used with a orderBy parameter (#ea19622)

Functions

  • correctly throw an UNAVAILABLE error code on network IO errors for Android to match iOS (#3310) (#7351147)

Messaging

  • onMessage now works correctly for data-only, notification-only & data-notification messages. Previously it only worked for data-only messages
  • setBackgroundMessageHandler now works when the app fully quit or backgrounded, for data-only, notification-only & data-notification messages. Previously, when the app was fully quit, events were not being handled
    • for iOS this requires content-available to be set
  • add better handling for messages in cases where no user handler has been set
  • Android: ensure a default notification color is always present when user does not set one
  • iOS: calling registerDeviceForRemoteMessages/registerForRemoteNotifications was incorrectly causing permissions to be requested before explicitly requesting them via the messaging API
  • iOS: registering the device was not being called if it was already registered internally.
    • Devices should always register with registerDeviceForRemoteMessages, as per Apple guidelines, irregardless of current registration status.
    • Make sure you always call registerDeviceForRemoteMessages during your app initialization on iOS
  • iOS: in cases where requesting an FCM with the default scope & authorizedEntity, the underlying code now uses the recommended instanceIDWithHandler vs tokenWithAuthorizedEntity.
    • This fixes an issue where FCM would throw a "The operation couldnt be completed" error (#2657)
  • iOS: direct FCM connection is now fixed.
    • When the app was in the foreground, data-only messages were not coming through, they are now.
  • iOS: when running debug build, the APNs token will be registered with FCM as a "sandbox" key type
  • iOS: the original APNs swizzling we implemented was not functioning correctly with application:didReceiveRemoteNotification:fetchCompletionHandler:.
    • We added additional logic whereby this is executed in all scenarios (foreground/background/quit) and replaces a deprecated Apple API.
    • This fixes issues with data-only messages not being handled by the device
  • iOS: any custom FIRMessagingDelegate methods you add to your AppDelegate.m will now also be called internally by React Native Firebase messaging.

Storage

  • fixed a bug that occurred when parsing encoded URLs (#2753) (#8e99b9c)
  • storage tasks now correctly have a snapshot property - to match the Web SDK
  • put method now correctly returns a thenable Task instance instead of a promise (#ea19622)
