Cloud Functions

Version 7.0.0 of the Firebase SDK for Cloud Functions contains breaking changes as well as new features and enhancements.

This release drops support for Node.js 16, requires TypeScript v5, and removes the deprecated functions.config() API.

Review these release notes carefully to avoid issues or outages.

Breaking changes

• Minimum Node.js version is now 18. As of v7.0.0, the SDK requires a Node.js runtime of version 18 or newer. Support for Node.js 14 and 16 has been removed.
  • Impact: Functions using this SDK version fail to deploy or run on Node.js runtimes older than v18.
  • Action Required: Before upgrading the SDK, you must set the Node.js version to update your function's runtime environment to Node.js 18 or higher. We recommend using the latest Node.js LTS version supported by Cloud Functions.
• The functions.config() API has been removed. Following the deprecation schedule announced in v6.0.0, runtime configuration with functions.config() has been removed entirely.
  • Impact: Calling this API now throws a runtime error and causes build time errors if you are using TypeScript. Any function relying on functions.config() fails at runtime.
  • Action Required: You must migrate from runtime configuration to environment variables using the params module.
• TypeScript v5 is now required. The SDK has been upgraded from TypeScript v4.3 to v5.9 and now targets ES2022.
  • Impact: This may introduce new type-checking errors in your project if you are using an older version of TypeScript or if your code relies on older type definitions.
  • Action Required: Update your project's TypeScript version to v5.x and resolve any resulting type errors.
• The Event interface, which defines the wire format for an event, has been changed to LegacyEvent. This change mitigates an api-extractor conflict caused by an open issue with Rushstack (#3581).
  • Impact: Very few users are likely to be affected, as this type represents the internal state of function triggers.
  • Action: If you rely on this type, update your code to use LegacyEvent instead.

• Improved error handling for async handlers in the Emulator. We have improved how unhandled errors are processed in the Local Emulator Suite. Previously, an unhandled error or rejected Promise in an async onRequest handler would cause the request to hang until a platform timeout.

  • Impact: As of v7.0.0, these unhandled errors now correctly and immediately return a 500 Internal Server Error.
  • Action Required: This is a technical breaking change, as it changes error handling behavior. This provides faster, more accurate error feedback during local development. Ensure your error handling logic is correct and not reliant on the old timeout behavior.

• The SDK is now published as both CommonJS (CJS) and ECMAScript Modules (ESM). This provides first-class support for modern bundlers (like Vite and esbuild) and native import syntax, which can lead to optimized function sources and smaller bundle sizes. The package.json exports map now properly resolves for both require and import.

• This release adds a new function trigger for Firebase Data Connect (FDC), onMutationExecuted(). This allows you to execute functions in response to data mutations.

Cloud Functions

Version v6.0.0 of the Firebase SDK for Cloud Functions contains breaking changes that may affect some apps. Review these release notes carefully to avoid issues or outages.

Additionally, v6.0.0 introduces new features and bug fixes, and starts a one-year deprecation clock for runtime environment configuration with functions.config.

• Breaking: Cloud Functions for Firebase now defaults to 2nd gen.

  Previously, functions that do not explicitly specify a version when importing the SDK were interpreted as 1st gen. As of v6.0.0, such functions are interpreted as 2nd gen, and if they are written using 1st gen syntax they are likely to fail to deploy.

  To work around potential deployment issues, make sure that all 1st gen functions explicitly import the version-specific subpackage firebase-functions/v1.

  However, the recommended solution for all 1st gen functions is to upgrade to 2nd gen as described in Upgrade 1st gen Node.js functions to 2nd gen. 2nd gen functions are based on Cloud Run functions, providing better performance, better configuration, better monitoring, and more.

• Runtime environment configuration with functions.config is deprecated as of September 5, 2024, and will no longer be supported after the next major version of Cloud Functions. You are strongly recommended to migrate to environment variables.

• Thanks to enhancements released just prior to v6, the Local Emulator Suite now supports emulation of Firebase alert triggers and task queue functions. See specific guidance on how to interact with Firebase alerts and how to instrument your app for task queue functions emulation.

• Deprecated allowInvalidAppCheckToken option. Instead use enforceAppCheck.

  App Check enforcement on callable functions is disabled by default in v4. Requests containing invalid App Check tokens won't be denied unless you explicitly enable App Check enforcement using the new enforceAppCheck option. Furthermore, when enforcement is enabled, callable functions will deny all requests without App Check tokens.

• Dropped support for Node.js versions 8, 10, and 12.

• Dropped support for Admin SDK versions 8 and 9. Update with npm install firebase-admin@latest --save.

• Dropped support for Firebase Test SDK for Cloud Functions version 2. Update with npm install firebase-functions-test@latest --save.

• Removed the functions.handler namespace.

• Removed __trigger object on function handlers. See PR 1150.

• The Realtime Database DataSnapshot passed to the Realtime Database trigger now matches the DataSnapshot returned by the Admin SDK, with null values removed. See PR #926.

• Logs created with the functions.logger package in 2nd gen functions are now annotated with each request's trace ID, making it easy to correlate log entries with the incoming request. Trace IDs are especially useful for cases where 2nd gen's concurrency feature permits a function to handle multiple requests at any given time. See Correlate log entries to learn more.

• functions.logger.error now always outputs an error object and is included in Google Cloud Error Reporting. See PR #1141.

• The logging severity of Auth/App Check token validation has changed from info to debug level.

• Event parameters for 2nd generation functions are now strongly typed, permitting stronger TypeScript types for matched parameters.

• Reorganized source code location. This affects only apps that directly import files instead of using the recommend entry points specified in the package exports. See PR 1149.

• Reworked the apps library and Removed lodash as a runtime dependency. See PR 1144.

• This release introduces 2nd-gen beta support for these background triggers:

  • Remote Config
  • Test Lab

• This release introduces parameterized configuration for environment configuration, providing strongly typed configuration that is available both at runtime and deploy time.

• This release introduces mechanisms to help resolve potential conflicting function configuration. See Set runtime options.

Release Notes Roundup

Even as the updates to Firebase for Google I/O are getting finished all around us, there are still many non-I/O launches coming out, too. Here are some of our favorites from the past few weeks:

• Connect to Merchant Center to improve ecommerce reporting
  In the latest releases of our Analytics SDKs for Apple and Android platforms, you can integrate Google Merchant Center with Analytics from your ecommerce app. This is especially important when tracking conversion events that result from organic-search clicks, so upgrade today.
• Faster offline queries with Firestore
  The Firestore SDKs for Android and JavaScript now use a different format for the local cache that is used for offline queries, which increases the performance of local document lookups. This requires updating the existing cached data, which happens automatically upon the first run of the app with the upgraded SDK. You can also clear the cache before you enable disk persistence, to then have it rebuild with the new format from scratch.
• Games SDKs now retry file uploads to Cloud Storage on desktop
  Our SDKs for Unity and C++ now automatically retry uploading files to Cloud Storage if the upload fails on desktop platforms. Get this feature just by upgrading to the latest SDK version.

Release Notes Roundup

We're working on some big releases for Google I/O, but we still have lots of other updates going out every week. The highlights from the past weeks are:

• Fix for "IDBIndex is not defined runtime exception"
  Our JavaScript SDKs used a version of IDB that doesn't support ESM outside of browser environments. In version 9.6.9 of our JavaScript SDKs, we replaced that dependency with in-house code to fix this issue in Analytics, App Check, Cloud Messaging, Performance Monitoring, and Remote Config.
• Improved memory usage of Android Auth SDK
  We addressed an issue in our Android SDK for Firebase Authentication that was causing memory issues for some users. This was a pretty involved rewrite, so upgrade today and keep an eye out for any regression problems.
• Improved security rules API in emulator suite
  We've improved the handling of security rules in our emulator for Cloud Storage to allow specifying multiple rules files. You can always check for the latest updates to our emulators in the list of releases on GitHub.

  The Crashlytics dashboard now shows a red label for issues that were previously closed but have re-occurred, making it easy for you to filter and prioritize these regression issues in your apps.
• Faster time to first byte in Firebase Hosting
  We changed our infrastructure to use additional origin servers in Europe and Asia, which speeds up lookups from the edge caches that serve most content. This resulted in a 50% reduction in the time-to-first-byte for users who request fresh content.
• More secure headless sign-in flow for Firebase CLI
  In version 10.2 of the CLI we implemented a new flow for signing in from a remote machine, a virtual machine, or in a cloud-hosted IDE with the --no-localhost flag, leading to more secure sign-ins and a more Firebase-branded experience.

Release Notes Roundup

Happy new year everyone! We look forward to a year full of big and small releases from Firebase. Some highlights from the past few weeks:

• Auto-expiring security rules for Cloud Storage for Firebase
  When you create a new Cloud Storage bucket in a Firebase project, the default security rules for test mode now only grant access to untrusted clients for a month. This is the same policy we already had in place for Firestore and Realtime Database security rules, and should reduce the number of files that are accidentally left unprotected.

• New translations for FirebaseUI for Flutter
  The latest release of the FlutterFire libraries adds Spanish, French, and Arabic resource strings to the Authentication UI widgets. There are also many other fixes in this FlutterFire release, so be sure to upgrade.

• Improved auth persistence in web workers
  Version 9.6.2 of our JavaScript SDK for Authentication fixes an issue in the compatibility layer of our v9 JavaScript client. With this fix the client now persists your users' auth credentials when you signed them in via a web worker script.

Release Notes Roundup

With the Firebase Summit well in our rear-view mirror, we are back to releasing a steady stream of updates. Here are some of our favorites from the past few weeks:

• Download bytes and files in JavaScript from Cloud Storage securely
  In JavaScript code, you could always get a file from Storage through a download URL, which makes the file readable to everyone with that URL.

• Understanding aggregated FCM delivery data
  When you use Firebase Cloud Messaging, understanding message delivery is key to running effective re-engagement campaigns. In this article , a Firebase engineer explains strategies and common patterns when you look at the aggregated delivery data from FCM.
• App Analytics as part of Cloud Design Patterns

Release Notes Roundup

We just finished the Firebase Summit this week with a keynote on Wednesday that was chock full of updates. If you prefer reading all the news, check out the blog post. But we have even more updates that didn't get into the keynote or blog! Read about those releases here :

• Get started with Flutter and Firebase with just a browser
  It's now easier than ever to get started building beautiful, serverless, cross-platform apps with Firebase and Flutter. Thanks to DartPad (Flutter's online editor), you can skip the setup and get started by opening dartpad.dev and importing the Firebase packages. Or check out this simple chat app.
• Securely store secrets for Firebase Extensions
  If Extensions use configuration values that should stay secret, such as third-party API keys and passwords, they can now store those in Cloud Secret Manager. We're migrating all our official extensions to use secrets for their sensitive parameters.
• Search Firestore with an Elastic App Search extension
  This extension launched at Cloud Next and indexes and syncs the documents from a Cloud Firestore collection to an Elastic App Search deployment. See the product/installation page, or the code for more info.
• Unaccepted invitations from App Distribution expire after 30 days
  Invitations to test releases that are sent from App Distribution will now automatically expire if they are not accepted within 30 days. This declutters the Firebase console for your project, and frees up slots for other testers.
• Personalize content with Remote Config (beta)
  The personalization feature in Remote Config that we announced at Google I/O is now in beta. Personalization automatically optimizes individual user experiences to maximize your app's results through the power of machine learning.

Release Notes Roundup

Just one more week until the Firebase Summit keynote, so the releases are pouring in already. Here are some of the highlights from the past few weeks:

• FirebaseUI for Web now uses v9 SDK
  Great news for devs who want to ship smaller apps easily: the latest FirebaseUI for the web release is built on top of the modular v9 JavaScript SDK. This means that your JavaScript bundler may now only include code from the Authentication SDK in the build when that code is actually used in either FirebaseUI or your app, leading to smaller apps for your users.

• ESM module support leads to smaller Admin apps
  The latest Admin SDK now exposes a series of ES module entry points, just like our v9 JavaScript SDK does. Importing the Admin SDK APIs from these entry points leads to smaller apps, as only the parts of the code you actually use will be loaded. Refer to the migration guide for details on how to update your existing code to use the new ES module entry points.

• Sign in to Firebase on iOS with Facebook Limited Login
  You can now use Facebook Limited Login instead of "classic" Facebook Login to sign in to Firebase Authentication from iOS. When you use Facebook Limited Login, information from logins will not be used to personalize or measure advertising effectiveness. Wanna know more? Check the docs.

Release Notes Roundup

As we're ramping up towards the Firebase Summit, many big and small releases are coming out for Firebase. Here are some of our favorites:

• Analytics labels for messaging campaigns
  You can now attach a label for any notification sent via the Firebase Cloud Messaging API as well as for a messaging campaign in the Firebase console. In Google Analytics you can then use these to track all events related to your notifications beyond just counting sent ones, which we've always done by default. Read the blog post for all details.
• Parameter data type support for Remote Config in Node and Java Admin SDKs
  You can now specify a data type for each parameter, and RC then validates all server-side values against that type before a template update. The data type is stored and returned on a getRemoteConfig request. See the recent releases of the Admin SDKs for Node.js and Java for updated calls.
• FlutterFire now supports Realtime Database for Web
  The latest release of our binding libraries for Flutter now supports writing web applications that use the Realtime Database. You can now target iOS, Android and Web applications from a single code-base. See the release notes here.
• Manage app testers through Gradle
  Since BoM 28.4.1 of the Android SDK you can manage testers in your project from Gradle using the appDistributionAddTesters and appDistributionRemoveTesters commands. Refer to the command output for instructions on how to use these features.
• Crashlytics Signals - easily spot interesting issues in your app
  You can now see Signals appearing in the Crashlytics console to indicate that certain issues have interesting characteristics that may be more important to your app health. Were launching three Signals to start:
  • "Fresh issue" - new issues within the last week.
  • "Early crashes" - the majority of these crashes happened near app start.
  • "Repetitive crashes" - crashes your users are encountering over and over.

Firebase Weekly Roundup

In the month since Google I/O, we've had many updates to Firebase. Let's look at some highlights:

• Firebase CLI now deletes storage artifacts after Functions deployment
  When you deploy Cloud Functions, it runs a build process that temporarily creates files in a Cloud Storage bucket in your project. The CLI now cleans up those artifacts once the deploy is completed, meaning you'll no longer see (typically $0.0x) charges from them on your Firebase bill.

• Accelerate your app development with 4 new Firebase Extensions
  We released new Extensions to easily analyze sentiment in comments, to search Firestore content through Algolia, to manage marketing with Mailchimp, and to send messages to your users wherever they are with MessageBird.

• Load data from content bundles into Firestore for your C++ game
  You can assemble data bundles from common query results on the backend using the Firebase Admin SDK, serve these pre-computed blobs cached on a CDN, and now load them in the C++ SDK cache with the new Firestore::LoadBundle method.

Firebase Weekly Roundup

Only one more week to go before Google I/O, but there are still some pre-I/O updates from the past two weeks that we'd like to highlight:

• Auth emulator support in Admin SDKs for Python and Java
  The Admin SDKs for Python and Java can now run against the Firebase Authentication emulator. This means you can use these SDKs to quickly import users into the emulator, and perform other (bulk) operations on users in your local development without ever hitting your production projects..

• New documentation on billing
  We've added more documentation to help you understand billing within Firebase. Check out these new pages to learn more about projects and billing accounts, what happens when you enable/disable billing, and how to set up budget alerts.

• Better crash reports for Unity
  Since Firebase SDK version 7.2 for Unity, Crashlytics adds Unity-specific metadata. This should help when you're trying to diagnose tricky crashes around specific hardware setups.

• Firebase Hosting and Google Domains integration
  Getting started with a custom domain for your website is now even easier thanks to the new integration between Firebase Hosting and Google Domains. You can now click the Find domain link in the Firebase console, buy a domain from Google Domains, and the rest of the setup happens automatically.

Firebase Weekly Roundup

While we're in the final approach for Google I/O (May 16-18), we've released quite a few updates over the past two weeks. Here are some highlights:

• Load data faster and lower your costs with Firestore data bundles
  You can now read several documents all at once, and then distribute this bundle of data in any way you like to many clients without hitting the Firestore server. This can significantly reduce your cost. It also allows you to deliver a bundle of pre-seeded data with your app binary, so that your users can access the data even when they're offline the first time they use your app. Read all about it in the blog post.
• Run .NET Admin SDK Auth calls against Firebase emulator suite
  The Firebase Authentication APIs now support running against the Firebase emulator suite. You can enable the emulator mode by setting the FIREBASE_AUTH_EMULATOR_HOST environment variable to point to the emulator. Check out the release notes for details.
• Multi-user support in Firebase CLI
  Changing accounts with the CLI used to require that you give consent in a browser popup. This meant that changing accounts couldn't be automated, until now... Now you can add users once with the new login:add command, and then switch between them using login:use. Read all about it in the release notes for CLI v9.9.

And check out our YouTube channel for more big and small releases from the past month in Firebase Release Notes: April '21 - SwiftUI APIs, multi-user Emulator, and Firebase at I/O preview!

Firebase Weekly Roundup

Many developers want to programmatically manage their Firebase projects, and this week we released two updates to make that easier:

1. Management API for Cloud Storage for Firebase

   You can now manage the Storage buckets in your Firebase projects through a new REST API. Through this API, you can find out what buckets are part of your Firebase project and you can make existing Cloud Storage buckets available in Firebase or remove Firebase access from them. Read all about it in the documentation.

2. Manage Firebase Hosting sites through REST API or CLI

   You can now manage Firebase Hosting sites through a REST API and the Firebase CLI. With these you can create, list, delete, and retrieve information about Hosting sites for your Firebase project. Read more about it in the documentation linked above and in the full release notes below.

curl 'https://demo.firebaseio.com/users.json?orderBy="email"&equalTo="something%2Botherthing%40domain.com"'
# This would be the same as:
# firebase.database().ref("users")
#               .orderByChild("email").equalTo("something otherthing@domain.com")

#  Example request with the correct header and the default behavior in 2019

curl 'https://demo.firebaseio.com/users.json?orderBy="email"&equalTo="something%2Botherthing%40domain.com"' --header "X-Firebase-Decoding: 1"
# This would be the same as:

• The npm package did not work properly with Browserify and webpack. This was fixed in version JavaScript SDK (v3.0.2)

Realtime Database

• The way you install and initialize the SDK has changed and several APIs have been renamed. When you decide to upgrade, please see the Web Migration Guide, iOS Migration Guide, or Android Migration Guide for details.
• The way you install and initialize the Node.js and Java server SDKs has also changed. APIs have been renamed and you now authenticate using a service account instead of a secret or custom token. When you choose to upgrade, please see the Database Server SDK Setup Guide and use the Web Migration Guide or Android Migration Guide to help you update your Node.js or Java code to the latest APIs.

Authentication

• The way you install and initialize the SDK has changed and most APIs have been renamed. When you decide to upgrade, please see the iOS Migration Guide, Web Migration Guide, or Android Migration Guide for details.
• Node.js / Java server SDKs:
  • Token minting and verification for Firebase Authentication is now built into the server SDKs themselves instead of in separate token minting libraries.
    • All of the existing authentication methods have been removed. Instead, use the databaseAuthVariableOverride option (Node.js) or setDatabaseAuthVariableOverride() method (Java) when initializing the SDK. See here for more details.
    • Use the Web Migration Guide or Android Migration Guide to help you update your Node.js or Java code to the latest APIs.
• General:
  • Limited profile data extracted from federated providers (e.g. doesnt include the Twitter username).
  • Workaround where possible, extract this information from the 3rd party SDKs.
• Firebase Android SDK:
  • FirebaseUser#linkWithCredential() may invalidate a user's credentials.
    • Description: After calling linkWithCredential() with a credential that is not an EmailAuthCredential, sometimes consecutive calls on the user object may throw an Exception: FirebaseException (An internal error has occurred. [ TOKEN_EXPIRED ]).
    • Workaround Cache the credential used on a linking event, and if this error is thrown, sign the user out after the linking and call FirebaseAuth#signInWithCredential() with the cached credential afterwards.
  • Missing API to start email verification flow.
  • Some Network exceptions are thrown as FirebaseException rather than FirebaseNetworkException.
• Firebase SDK for Apple platforms:
  • sendPasswordResetWithEmail:completion: does not call the completion handler in the main thread as claimed.
  • Workaround:

    Objective-C

    [[FIRAuth auth] sendPasswordResetWithEmail:@"user@host.domain"
                              completion:^(NSError *_Nullable error) {
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
    // original completion handler code.
    });
    }];

    Swift

    FIRAuth.auth()?.sendPasswordResetWithEmail("user@host.domain") { error in
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
    // original completion handler code.
    }
    }

  • API reference docs do not contain information about error conditions: see them here.
  • Authentication state is shared between different apps when running on. the iOS Simulator:
    • Description: when running two or more applications that use Firebase Authentication on the same iOS simulator, there is a issue with the iOS keychain that causes the authentication state to be shared across the different applications. This means that if you sign in to an app, and later open a second app, you may find a user to be signed in into it.
    • Workaround: either don't use two different applications with Authentication on the same simulator instance, or manually sign out from the applications between tests.
  • Firebase JavaScript SDK:
    • If you change the authdomain configuration of an app while some users are signed in, you have to sign them out and in again in order to use linkWithPopup/Redirect APIs
    • Does not work in Safari private browsing mode.

Cloud Storage

• Initial release of Cloud Storage. Cloud Storage provides secure file uploads and downloads for your Firebase apps, regardless of network quality. You can use it to store images, audio, video, or other user-generated content. Firebase Storage is backed by Google Cloud Storage, a powerful, simple, and cost-effective object storage service.
• Firebase console: Only project owners can update Firebase Security Rules for Cloud Storage, and only owners and editors can view Cloud Storage Security Rules.

FCM

• Initial release of Cloud Messaging.

• Firebase C++ SDK:

  • Messages with both a notification and data payload are not delivered to an Android application open in the background.
  • Description: On Android, when the app is open in the background and it receives a message with both a notification and data payload, the message is not delivered to the application.
  • Workaround: In the application's activity, (e.g. NativeActivity), override the onNewIntent(Intent intent) method and pass the intent argument through to the method setIntent(Intent intent)
  • For example:

    public class MyActivity extends NativeActivity {
    @Override
    onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
    setIntent(intent);
    }
    }

    See the quickstart sample for an example of this workaround in action.
