Unable to create record in firebase collection using my ionic app

Ionic Framework
1

I am trying to create a record in firebase using my ionic app.

I have already successfully connected to the firebase app because I am using auth() to log in users already.

But now, I am not able to create records when I try to add to a collection. Below is my latest code:

post(): void {
    console.log('attempting post')
    firebase.firestore().collection('posts').add({
      text: this.text,
      created: firebase.firestore.FieldValue.serverTimestamp(),
      owner: firebase.auth().currentUser.uid,
      owner_name: firebase.auth().currentUser.displayName
    }).then((doc) => {
      console.log(doc);
    }).catch((err) => {
      console.log(err)
    })
  }

“attempting post” is logged to the console, so I’m getting into the post() method, but nothing else is appearing in the console, not even an error message.

Also, here are the database rules in my firebase app:

rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /{document=**} {
      allow read, write: if request.auth.uid != null;
    }
  }
}

Can someone please tell me what I’m doing wrong, & how it can be resolved?
