Cloud Storage for Firebase: uploading of base64 string on Web fails

I have read quite a few posts about this (e.g. Save base64 encoded image to Firebase Storage) but cannot make it work.

I am using the example from https://firebase.google.com/docs/storage/web/upload-files#upload_from_a_string (doing this in React Native):

console.log('Writing a base64 string');

ref = await firebase.storage().ref('test').child(Date.now().toString());

message = '5b6p5Y+344GX44G+44GX44Gf77yB44GK44KB44Gn44Go44GG77yB';

await ref.putString(message, 'base64').then(snapshot => {

  console.log('.... Done');

});

And I get the following error:

[17:53:23] Possible Unhandled Promise Rejection (id: 0):

[17:53:23] FirebaseStorageError {

[17:53:23]   "code_": "storage/invalid-format",

[17:53:23]   "message_": "Firebase Storage: String does not match format 'base64': Invalid character found",

[17:53:23]   "name_": "FirebaseError",

[17:53:23]   "serverResponse_": null,

[17:53:23] }

Are you sure that's a valid base64 string?

I took this from the example in firebase.google.com/docs/storage/web/…. I also tried shorter strings, like 'dGV4dA==' (encoded 'text' in base64encode.org)

Then you should file a bug report. firebase.google.com/support/contact/bugs-features

Thanks Doug, I will. It seems, however, that it works for some people... See stackoverflow.com/questions/37352884/….
