[🐛] [🔥] sendPasswordResetEmail - auth/internal-error when url included / linkDomain param behaving unexpectedly

[mbaker3]

Issue

Currently having issues sending a password reset email when the continue URL is included. When a whitelisted URL is included in the actionCodeSettings object firebase returns an auth/internal-error. I haven't yet tried setting up dynamic links to see if the continue URL will work with a dynamic link vs a standard (whitelisted) url.

I'm hoping to be able to redirect to one of our own web pages once password reset is complete. I don't believe setting up dynamic links should be required but feel free to dismiss this bug if I've misinterpreted what firebase should support!

(This is in an Expo project using the custom dev client)

My usage is as follows

import auth, { FirebaseAuthTypes } from "@react-native-firebase/auth";
import * as Application from "expo-application";
// ...
auth()
   .sendPasswordResetEmail(email, {
      url: "https://my.whitelisted.url.com",
      handleCodeInApp: false,
      iOS: { bundleId: Application.applicationId! },
      android: {
        packageName: Application.applicationId!,
       installApp: true,
      },
    })
   .then(()=>console.log("success"))
   .catch((error) => console.error(error))

The error emitted:
[auth/internal-error] An internal error has occurred, please try again.

i have the same error, i use RN CLI(without Expo)

[ShaneZhengNZ]

Save issue. This is kind of annoying. Not sure whether this is a Firebase issue or this library's issue.

[ShaneZhengNZ]

I can replicate the issue with simple await auth().sendPasswordResetEmail(emailAddress);

[mbaker3]

I can replicate the issue with simple await auth().sendPasswordResetEmail(emailAddress);

I haven't had this issue specifically. When sending just an email address, the request succeeds and I do get an email on the other end. For me, including the continueURL is what breaks the request.

+1 here, i have the same issue wen when i add the continueURL

[robnewton]

+1 here too. Same issue when I add the url option and once or twice even when I don't add it. I wondered if it is related to a rate limit from calling it multiple times in a row during testing, but I waited a few hours and it's still an issue.
