[Bug] [iOS][Storage] Download fails with NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=262 in GetFile() (C++ SDK 12.7.0–12.8.0, 13.0.0) #1724

Closed

Description

[REQUIRED] Please fill in the following fields:

  • Pre-built SDK from the website or open-source from this repo: Pre-built SDK from website
  • Firebase C++ SDK version: 12.7.0 / 12.8.0 / 13.0.0
  • Problematic Firebase Component: Storage
  • Other Firebase Components in use: Auth, Firestore, Functions, Analytics, Messaging, Remote Config
  • Platform you are using the C++ SDK on: macOS
  • Platform you are targeting: iOS

❗️[iOS][Storage] GetFile() download fails with NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=262 on valid file path

Calling StorageReference::GetFile() on iOS fails consistently when attempting to download to a valid sandboxed absolute path. This does not happen on Android or Windows using the same C++ code and Firebase bucket, suggesting the problem lies in the iOS native layer of the C++ SDK.


📄 Error Log Example

Could not remove previous file at /private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/1AADB80E-8E59-4531-83DF-FD292F7BD24C/tmp/CFNetworkDownload_6CZmV6.tmp due to Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=262 "The specified URL type isn’t supported for opening the file."

 });
});

💡 Root Cause Hypothesis (Confirmed)

In the iOS bridge layer (storage_reference_ios.mm), the SDK currently uses:

NSURL* local_file_url = [NSURL URLWithString:@(path)]; // ❌ This fails for file paths

This should instead be:

NSURL* local_file_url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:@(path)]; // ✅ Correct for local file access

Using NSURL(string:) for a file path like /var/mobile/... returns nil or misinterprets the path, causing the system to reject the URL and fail with NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=262.

Confirmed at:

NSURL* local_file_url = [NSURL URLWithString:@(path)];

✅ Expected Behavior

  • GetFile() should succeed if destination path is a valid, sandboxed iOS file path
  • SDK should never use NSURL(string:) for absolute file paths

🔧 Suggested Fix

Update line 145 of storage_reference_ios.mm to:

NSURL* local_file_url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:@(path)];

🧪 Reproduction Steps

  1. On iOS, download a file using StorageReference::GetFile() with an absolute path
  2. Ensure the destination directory exists and the file doesn't
  3. Observe that the download fails and logs NSCocoaErrorDomain 262

💬 Workaround

Delete the file manually before calling GetFile() to avoid the SDK’s internal deletion logic, which fails due to incorrect NSURL handling.
