Well it seems to be from the error that the URL you're passing in doesn't correlate with anything in your storage bucket.
Are you sure you're passing in the right URL? Maybe console.log downloadUrl right before you pass it in. Also maybe consider putting it in a browser and seeing if you get the resource in the first place.

Btw, you should include a proper code snippet to make troubleshooting easier.

naomipindrus · 2020-03-03T07:32:44Z

i am sure the url is ok.
if i use it in it displays currectly.
also putting the url in the browser works.

Salakar · 2020-03-04T09:55:06Z

@naomipindrus can you give an example URL that you're using?

naomipindrus · 2020-03-05T11:14:36Z

@Salakar something like this https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/........
i am not sure i can give the whole url

phatmann · 2020-03-09T22:25:30Z

It is not parsing a download URL correctly.

The path is:
chat/icons/74bd15d3-8620-48a4-aedf-e7ce30731db4

The download URL:
https://{MY FIREBASE_PROJECT}/o/chat%2Ficons%2F74bd15d3-8620-48a4-aedf-e7ce30731db4?alt=media&token=30eaa53e-669a-42ef-b0c0-80a2bbc6d6dd

And here is what refFromURL() spits out:

{
...
  fullPath: 'chat',
  name: 'chat',
  path: 'chat'
...
}

It is just finding the first segment of the path.

Rob117 · 2020-03-18T01:05:59Z

This is 100% an issue on Android that I am also experiencing right now. If you need an example URL,
https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/${PROJECT NAME}/o/W76K1NJvjxM4WkAKLebsp4r9Sko2%2F829f70e9f4b37b9879a947532a08af73e98bb5b180c03bb969fe677958311696.jpeg?alt=media&token=2c905390-4bc6-4f7f-8aae-cc0b92e03aa5

It works on iOS, but not on Android.

I think it has to do with path parsing as mentioned here.

Rob117 · 2020-03-18T01:49:16Z

Solved

So, my problem was that I was getting the downloadURL from ref.getDownloadURL() and then using a separate library to download the file and write it locally.

Instead, if I just use the SDK's internal writeToFile, it works without issue.

Not fixed.

Salakar · 2020-05-14T09:21:07Z

Can you try the latest release, I thought this was fixed by #3369

phatmann · 2020-05-19T20:14:21Z

This issue still exists with version 7.0.1. The slashes within the path are now handled correctly, but the ref is still not valid. Valid refs have a bucket named "{BUCKET}.appspot.com" but the refs from refFromURL have a bucket named "{BUCKET}". See #2753.

DnzDmR · 2020-05-24T16:59:43Z

I solved that :
const ref = storage().refFromURL("https:// .... ");
storage().ref(ref.fullPath).delete()

phatmann · 2020-05-31T14:32:44Z

@DnzDmR your solution works like a charm. Thanks!

However, this is a workaround. This bug needs to be fixed.

Closing this issue after a prolonged period of inactivity. If this is still present in the latest release, please feel free to create a new issue with up-to-date information.

Nantris · 2024-01-31T03:29:20Z

~~I haven't tried the workaround yet, but I seem to be experiencing the same error, No object exists at the desired reference, (only happens on iOS.)~~

But I don't think we're using https:// at any point so I'm still more confused by this error. Is it possible that using this patch to make React Native work in a monorepo is the cause of the error? It seems unlikely since everything else works fine: nrwl/nx#20115 (comment)

Edit: Turned out to be unrelated to React Native Firebase; just some mystery bug that appeared from seemingly nowhere.
