Upgrading to sdk version 8.3.2 causes auth errors against firestore emulator

[zwily]

[REQUIRED] Describe your environment

• Operating System version: OS X 11.2.3
• Browser version: Any
• Firebase SDK version: 8.3.2
• Firebase Product: auth/firestore (?)

[REQUIRED] Describe the problem

Steps to reproduce:

I upgraded from 8.2.5 to 8.3.2, and after upgrading, found that any calls to my firestore emulator were failing with auth failures. Authentication (Google auth against the auth emulator) does appear to succeed.

I found the following blob in firestore-debug.log that does not appear when using 8.3.1. (Token is just against emulator, not sensitive.)

I bisected all the intermediate firebase-sdk upgrades, and it was the move from 8.3.1 -> 8.3.2 that started doing this. I am also using the latest firebase-tools (9.8.0).

I scanned through the diff of 8.3.1 -> 8.3.2 but the refactoring looked fairly extensive.

Relevant Code:

Any authenticated firestore read against emulator. I'm trying to put together a bare app demonstrating the problem and will update the ticket if I manage to get that.

I created a small app demonstrating the issue:

https://github.com/zwily/firebase-8.3.2-test

Somehow, auth information isn't making it into the firestore emulator. The same problem does not happen against production. This may be an emulator bug, but it does not happen with the current emulators and 8.3.1.

[tomhicks]

I found this issue as I have been having issues with permissions. My previously-working Firestore rules are now failing with a "Null value error" saying I cannot create a document where I could before.

Downgrading to 8.3.1 fixes the issue.

See firebase/firebase-tools#3258 (comment)

This should be fixed in Firebase CLI v9.9.0.
