I'm currently working on an app using React Native and Firebase, and I'm encountering an issue with a modal that should display user connections. I have two main functions set up: one for adding users, which works fine, and another for adding users to a group that has stopped functioning properly after only working a few times. The modal shows "No connections yet" even though the console indicates that there are actually two connections available. Here's what I've got:
When I click the button to add a user, the modal opens correctly, but it doesn't show the connections that are confirmed to exist in the console:
Connections:
[
{"displayName": "User1", "email": "[email protected]", "uid": "abc123"},
{"displayName": "User2", "email": "[email protected]", "uid": "xyz789"}
]
I've also checked that the data loads correctly from Firebase and that the modal state opens as expected. If anyone has any insights on what might be causing this issue, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Seems like a classic case of a 'programmer error', honestly. Sometimes issues like this aren't related to lag but rather how the states are being managed in your React app. Make sure your Firebase rules are suitable for writes to the connections you're working with. The connections not showing might be due to stale state or incorrect auth context. I would recommend double-checking your Firebase logs and security rules first.
It sounds like you're missing some code context here. Without seeing your complete code for adding users to a group, it's hard to pinpoint the exact issue. If your connections are definitely being fetched correctly, maybe there's a problem with the way you're handling or displaying that data. The modal shows "No connections yet" if the connections array is empty when the modal renders. This might mean that the variable isn't updating as expected. Can you post the part of the code where you add users to a group? That could help clarify things!
Yeah, definitely need that code! Sometimes the state or context might not be updating properly when the modal triggers. Also, check if your data might be delayed in syncing with Firebase.
I checked the rules on Firebase, and there are no restrictions that would cause my issue. I added some code to the main post, so you can take a look at it now.
