🔥 Storage does not support App as parameter

[ALexandreM75013]

Issue

Hi !

I am using several databases and buckets for my mobile application.
I am initializing my App with :

await firebase.initializeApp(
      {
        appId: 'XXXX',
        apiKey: 'XXXX',
        databaseURL: 'XXXX',
        storageBucket: 'XXXX',
        messagingSenderId: 'XXXX',
        projectId: 'XXXX',
      },
    'database1',
  );

and then for using this particular database I am using :

 const database = firebase.app('database1').database();
 await database.ref('/users/')
.set({
  username:  username,
  last_update: firebase.database.ServerValue.TIMESTAMP,
});

which works like a charm, but when I want to use the bucket also initialize with the same database I am using:

const app = firebase.app('database1');
const storage = firebase.app().storage(app);

And I have an error Error: storage does not support a URL or region as a param, please pass in an app., which I don't really understand why since I put a console.log for the constant app, and it is a Firebase App.

I also tried

firebase.app('database1').storage();

but the application crashed and said The storage uri cannot contain a path element.

@Salakar This is a tangent but they just added multi-app support to remoteconfig - not sure if that is in v6 (you can see it in the android sdk release notes and they link here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/android/com/google/firebase/remoteconfig/FirebaseRemoteConfig#getInstance(FirebaseApp) )

For the specific issue the API for storage does seem to support multi-app so it seems like this should work, though @AlexandreMaistret may have learned something in the time after filing the issue and just isn't responding to the stale-bot ?

Unfortunately @mikehardy I didn't find any solution for this. I am just using several databases for one bucket storage.

I think this is valid then, and more over I believe @Salakar is right.this.moment. working on storage v6 so it might be easy to investigate while he's got all the right tools laid out on the workbench

[Salakar]

The correct usage is as demonstrated in Example 2 & 3 here: https://invertase.io/oss/react-native-firebase/v6/storage/reference/module

Multiple apps work in v5 this way, multi-buckets support however only lands in v6 - have just finished the storage re-write about an hour ago (just working through android CI being a PITA)

Closing as v6 Cloud Storage PR has landed. Will publish an alpha release later today.

Thanks again 👍
