Firebase Error: Missing or insufficient permissions only when ran from device










0














Trying to update a document within my React Native app works fine when I run from the simulator, but fails with error: "Missing or insufficient permissions" when I run from an actual device. I've made sure I'm logged in.



example code that would raise the error:



listing.doc.ref.update(
quantityAvailable: qty
);
//called from an authenticated user who is the author of the listing.
//So the request.auth.uid is equal to the listing.user.id


The pertinent database rules are as follows:



match /listings/document=** 
allow read;
allow create: if isSignedIn();
allow update: if isOwner();


...

function existingData()
return resource.data


function incomingData()
return request.resource.data


function currentUser()
return request.auth


function isSignedIn()
return request.auth != null;


function isOwner()
return request.auth.uid == existingData().user.id;

  • You can add parameters to your isOwner function like this isOwner(userId) so the condition to your function isOwner will be like this request.auth.uid === userId then replace the default wildcard document=** with userId

I was able to fix it by switching to the react-native-firebase library instead of the regular node.js Firebase library. Turns out it's not a permission problem, my permissions are fine, it was a networking issue with react native and the node.js firebase library.
