Install a Firebase SDK using CocoaPods
Firebase distributes several iOS specific APIs and SDKs via CocoaPods. You can install the CocoaPods tool on OS X by running the following command from the terminal. Detailed information is available in the Getting Started guide.
$ sudo gem install cocoapods
Try out an SDK
You can try any of the SDKs with pod try
. Run the following command and select
the SDK you are interested in when prompted:
$ pod try Firebase
Note that some SDKs may require credentials. More information is available in the SDK-specific documentation at https://firebase.google.com/docs/.
Add a Firebase SDK to your iOS app
CocoaPods is used to install and manage dependencies in existing Xcode projects.
-
Create an Xcode project, and save it to your local machine.
-
Create a file named
Podfile
in your project directory. This file defines your project's dependencies, and is commonly referred to as a Podspec. -
Open
Podfile
, and add your dependencies. A simple Podspec is shown here:platform :ios, '8.0' pod 'Firebase'
-
Save the file.
-
Open a terminal and
cd
to the directory containing the Podfile.$ cd <path-to-project>/project/
-
Run the
pod install
command. This will install the SDKs specified in the Podspec, along with any dependencies they may have.$ pod install
-
Open your app's
.xcworkspace
file to launch Xcode. Use this file for all development on your app. -
You can also install other Firebase SDKs by adding the subspecs in the Podfile.
