I am breaking my head on how to get the refresh token from FirebaseAuth but cannot seem to find how.

On iOS, the equivalent is Auth.auth().currentUser?.refreshToken. Any help is highly appreciated.

  • I think it’s just not possible. Firebase does not allow access to refresh token on Android. Maybe this is due to security reason where on iOS you can store it in KeyChaim. – Tal Zion Jan 08 '22 at 14:07

I think this is what Furkan meant to say:

Use the forceRefresh parameter. This force refreshes the token. Should only be set to true if the token is invalidated

    FirebaseAuth.getInstance().currentUser!!.getIdToken(true)

Maybe you solution is use the getIdToken listener.

  • getIdToken(true) only if you want refresh the token

  • getIdToken(false) if you only want get the current

code

user.getIdToken(true).addOnSuccessListener { result ->
      val token = result.token
}

firebaseUser. getIdToken() reloads your token
