It is impossible to delete a user from firebase

I am developing an application in which I want add a function to remove a user from Firebase. I follow the official documentation but I can not do it. I get a warning in the console

Error This operation is sensitive and requires recent authentication. Log in again before retrying this request.

Here is my code:

- (void)deleteUser {
   FIRUser *user = [FIRAuth auth].currentUser;
   [user deleteWithCompletion:^(NSError *_Nullable error) {
      if (error) {
          NSLog(@"Error %@", error.localizedDescription);
      } else {
          NSLog(@"Delete user");
      }
   }];

}

Perhaps somebody faced a similar problem, tell me how to solve?"

Look at Firebase api's doc in website, you can see your code to delete user in firebase must logined recently.

if you logined for a while. you must re authentication.

here is how to re auth :

FIRUser *user = [FIRAuth auth].currentUser;
FIRAuthCredential *credential;

// Prompt the user to re-provide their sign-in credentials

[user reauthenticateWithCredential:credential completion:^(NSError *_Nullable error) {
  if (error) {
    // An error happened.
  } else {
    // User re-authenticated.
  }
}];

in security sensitive operation such as(delete user, set password, set-email...), you must re auth first.
