FirebaseInstallations Framework Reference

Installations

class Installations : NSObject

The class provides API for Firebase Installations. Each configured FirebaseApp has a corresponding single instance of Installations. An instance of the class provides access to the installation info for the FirebaseApp as well as the ability to delete it. A Firebase Installation is unique by FirebaseApp.name and FirebaseApp.options.googleAppID .

  • Unavailable

    Undocumented

  • Returns a default instance of Installations.

    Declaration

    Swift

    class func installations() -> Installations

    Return Value

    An instance of Installations for FirebaseApp.defaultApp(). @throw Throws an exception if the default app is not configured yet or requiredFirebaseApp` options are missing.

  • Returns an instance of Installations for an application.

    Declaration

    Swift

    class func installations(app application: FIRApp) -> Installations

    Parameters

    application

    A configured FirebaseApp instance.

    Return Value

    An instance of Installations corresponding to the passed application. @throw Throws an exception if required FirebaseApp options are missing.

  • The method creates or retrieves an installation ID. The installation ID is a stable identifier that uniquely identifies the app instance. NOTE: If the application already has an existing FirebaseInstanceID then the InstanceID identifier will be used.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func installationID() async throws -> String

    Parameters

    completion

    A completion handler which is invoked when the operation completes.

  • Retrieves (locally if it exists or from the server) a valid installation auth token. An existing token may be invalidated or expired, so it is recommended to fetch the installation auth token before each server request. The method does the same as Installations.authToken(forcingRefresh:completion:) with forcing refresh false.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func authToken() async throws -> FIRInstallationsAuthTokenResult

    Parameters

    completion

    A completion handler which is invoked when the operation completes.

  • Retrieves (locally or from the server depending on forceRefresh value) a valid installation auth token. An existing token may be invalidated or expire, so it is recommended to fetch the installation auth token before each server request. This method should be used with forceRefresh == true when e.g. a request with the previously fetched installation auth token failed with “Not Authorized” error.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func authTokenForcingRefresh(_ forceRefresh: Bool) async throws -> FIRInstallationsAuthTokenResult

    Parameters

    forceRefresh

    If true then the locally cached installation auth token will be ignored and a new one will be requested from the server. If false, then the locally cached installation auth token will be returned if exists and has not expired yet.
    completion

    A completion handler which is invoked when the operation completes. See InstallationsTokenHandler for additional details.

  • Deletes all the installation data including the unique identifier, auth tokens and all related data on the server side. A network connection is required for the method to succeed. If fails, the existing installation data remains untouched.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func delete() async throws

    Parameters

    completion

    A completion handler which is invoked when the operation completes. error == nil indicates success.
