[ANDROID-BUG] Getting firebase token?

How can i get the auth token from:

 57     this.ngZone.run(() => {
 58       firebase.getCurrentUser().then((data) => {
 59         this.currentUserId.next(data.uid);
 60       });
 61     });

I need the token, so i can send it to my backend and upload resized photos to firebase. Is there a better way to do this?

The problem was getToken is nowgetToken(forceRefresh:boolean), so that explains the error (the signature is incorrect).

The GitHub version now has a new getAuthToken:

firebase.getAuthToken({
  forceRefresh: false
}).then(
  function (token) {
    console.log("Auth token retrieved: " + token);
  },
  function (errorMessage) {
    console.log("Auth token retrieval error: " + errorMessage);
  }
);

Please give it a spin and I’ll soon publish to npm as well.

I’m using the Facebook login on an Android emulator. When I call firebase.getAuthToken() it always returns the uid as the token instead of a JWT. Is that how it’s supposed to work? How can I get a JWT to authenticate the user in my own web services?
