Please provide the following:

Firebase firestore offline persistence is not working. getting following error.

Error enabling offline persistence. Falling back to persistence disabled: FirebaseError: [code=unimplemented]: This platform is either missing IndexedDB or is known to have an incomplete implementation. Offline persistence has been disabled.

Unhandled promise rejection: FirebaseError: This platform is either missing IndexedDB or is known to have an incomplete implementation. Offline persistence has been disabled.]

Having the same issue!

[Unhandled promise rejection: FirebaseError: This platform is either missing IndexedDB or is known to have an incomplete implementation. Offline persistence has been disabled.]

Per this thread IndexedDB is a web API not available in React Native… so we’d need to figure out if there’s a way to patch it in Firestore to replace it with one of the available stores.

Actually on more digging, found @nandorojo’s post on this here:

He’s created both a hack to get this working directly, and a SWR library to provide better fetching syntax generally.

I have a library that solves this: GitHub - nandorojo/expo-firestore-offline-persistence: ❄️ Enable Firestore offline persistence in Expo apps without detaching. as @rmatei mentioned.
