Gergely Orosz reported that Firebase’s SDK began crashing all iOS applications using it across every session, with no workaround available. The incident, described as highly unprofessional for a company with Google’s engineering standards, left developers unable to function. Vijay Tholpadi echoed the concern, comparing the event to the Facebook swizzling crash incident and directly tagging @Firebase for assistance.

The issue emerged suddenly on September 29, 2026, causing widespread disruption. As of the post, Firebase had not provided an official update or resolution. Developers are urged to monitor official channels for fixes.
