Solved: Firestore requests are erroring out with status: F... - Page 2

My Firestore read requests are getting errored out. I believe that some sort of incorrect blacklisting has happened.

Environment: development

Purpose: To get a list of all documents in my Firestore collection named "auth"

Firestore rules:

rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow read, write: if request.auth != null;
}
}
}

Code:

let docRef = doc(db, "auth", newUserEmail.value);

let docSnap;

try {

docSnap = await getDoc(docRef);

} catch(error) {

console.log("error: ", error);

}

Not sure how to go about troubleshooting as Firestore has no logging system visible to developers and there are no flags on my web console.

Based on inputs from the community, I realized that my rules were not permitting requests from unauthenticated users in the new login/registration pages which was exactly where the issue occurred.

I've updated my rules to,

rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /auth/{document=**} {
      allow read, write: if true;
    }
  }
}
