When authenticating in firebase using the signInWithEmailAndPassword() API, I am unable to get a valid "current" user.
auth.signInWithEmailAndPassword() I once signed in the user is taken to a Home page
I attempt to get the user's UID but there is no valid user returned. The call happens in an async function as such:
currentUser = await auth.currentUser(); currentUser is null.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
The documentation suggests that you use an auth state observer to get a callback when the user is signed in and a User object is available. As shown in that linked documentation:
FirebaseAuth.instance .authStateChanges() .listen((User user) { if (user == null) { print('User is currently signed out!'); } else { print('User is signed in!'); } }); I strongly suggest not relying on currentUser, as that can only check at a moment in time. The observer is guaranteed to let you know when the user object is available for use.
after getting user just reload it once it will solve your problem code for reference :D
final FirebaseAuth _auth = FirebaseAuth.instance; User currentuser; bool isloggedin= false; getUser() async{ User user = _auth.currentUser; await user?.reload(); user = _auth.currentUser; if(user !=null) { setState(() { this.currentuser = user; this.isloggedin=true; }); } } What if you reload the returned FirebaseUser? This worked for me.
const User currentUser = await auth.currentUser; if (currentUser != null) { await currentUser.reload(); } Clearly simplified code. Note: auth.currentUser() is now auth.currentUser.
This might be a duplicate: Flutter Firebase Authentication currentUser() returns null.
try this code
FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser?.providerData[0].email
