TypeError: Object(…) is not a function with Firebase storage

I’ve been experiencing this issue for days now. I’m trying to upload a photo to Firebase Storage using the following code in Ionic 3:

import * as firebase from 'firebase/app';
import 'firebase/storage';
/// *** blah blah blah
try{
firebase.storage().ref(url).putString(base64image, 'base64', {contentType: 'image/jpg'})
          .then((path)=>resolve(path.downloadURL))
          .catch((e)=>{reject(e)});
}catch (error) {
      console.warn("What the heck? ", error);
}

yet everytime I run it, I get the error

ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): TypeError: Object(...) is not a function TypeError: Object(...) is not a function at handler (vendor.js:152661)...

referring to the putString(…) function. Annoyingly, it doesn’t even get caught by the try/catch.

What’s wrong with this thing?? Please help! Thanks.
