Hi,

I'm trying to use react-native-firebase and starting off with authentication, but when trying to call signInWithCredential(), I experienced this uncaught exception, and the .catch() or try/catch blocks are not catching them in JS.

firebaseAuth = userId => { try{ firebase.auth().signInWithCredential(userId).then(data => console.warn(data)).catch(function(error){ console.warn(error)}) } catch(err) { console.warn(err) } };

Think react-native-firebase is great? Please consider supporting the project with any of the below:

Running into something similar with firebase.auth().signInAnonymously().

I'm experiencing the same on both Android and iOS.

I've changed the signInWithCredential method in node_modules/react-native-firebase/dist/modules/auth/index.js to handle the promise rejection like this:

signInWithCredential(credential) {
    return getNativeModule(this)
      .signInWithCredential(credential.providerId, credential.token, credential.secret)
      .then(
        userCredential => this._setUserCredential(userCredential),
        error => Promise.reject(error) // <-- I've just added this ugliness
      );
  }

and it fixed the issue allowing me to catch and handle the exceptions at the right link of the promises chain as expected (at least on Android - I haven't tested on iOS).
The issue might be related to this one facebook/react-native#20262 and maybe this one too facebook/react-native#24249

Closing issue as it has since been resolved in later RN versions.
