AuthProvider typescript properties not working

[BB-BenBridges]

I have an issue when using the example code for Microsoft authentication. The addScope and setCustomParameters properties do not exist on the AuthProvider type. Is this expected behaviour?

not expected no

This looks like the issue:

react-native-firebase/packages/auth/lib/index.d.ts

Lines 120 to 121 in 9b5c405

	// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-misused-new
	new (providerId: string): AuthProvider;

Note it is returning AuthProvider not OAuthProvider. You could likely immediately work around this by calling the new with an as OAuthProvider

Why is that necessary though? Shouldn't be.

Upstream in firebase-js-sdk which we attempt to harmonize with, they have OAuthProvider in a type inheritance which includes AuthProvider so it shouldn't be necessary.

This PR I just made should fix it:

• fix(auth, types): instantiating OAuthProvider returns OAuthProvider #8231

You can workaround for now as above, you can ingest the patch-package patch for the @auth package from here once they are generated: https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/actions/runs/12812404141?pr=8231

Or you can wait for merge and release on that one

Either of those should get you sorted - thanks for bringing it up, was definitely a type error

Perfect, thanks for the confirmation and fix
