Firebase logs out user when reloading expo. I put a console.log in the componentDidMount to see the problem and it returns null after the app reloads.

To be honest I don't understand where the problem is.

I would like for the user to stay logged in. I've tried many methods and read a lot of tutorials, but it just doesn't seem to work.

To add a workaround for your issue with the auth, You can apply a modular approach instead of using the compat approach from the firebase.

As per the documentation, Compat is a temporary workaround if you are already using the firebase v8 SDK.

It should work but I also don't know why it is not working.

For This, I created a demo and used the modular approach from firebase and it is working properly.

Check the Doc: Firebase Modular Update documentation

You can use the Modular approach from firebase to implement the auth functionality.

Code.

import React, { useEffect } from "react";
import { View, Button } from 'react-native'
import { initializeApp } from 'firebase/app'
import { getAuth, signInWithEmailAndPassword } from "firebase/auth";

const App = () => {
  async function logIn() {
    try {
      const loginRes = await signInWithEmailAndPassword(getAuth(), 'user@gmail.com', 'xxxxxx')
      console.log('loginRes : ', loginRes.user?.email)
    } catch ({ message }) {
      console.log('[Error] logIn : ', message)
    }
  }

  useEffect(() => {
    const firebaseConfig = {
      apiKey: "xxxxxx",
      authDomain: "xxxxx",
      projectId: "xxxxxx",
      storageBucket: "xxxxxx",
      messagingSenderId: "xxxxxx",
      appId: "xxxxxx",
      measurementId: "xxxxxx"
    };

    // Initialize Firebase
    initializeApp(firebaseConfig);

    // Adding listener for firebase auth
    const unsubscribe = getAuth().onAuthStateChanged((user) => {
      if (user) {
        console.log('user already loggen in')
      } else {
        console.log('user not logged in')
      }
    });

    return unsubscribe
  }, [])

  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
      <Button title="Button" onPress={logIn} />
    </View>
  )
}

export default App
