# Firebase APIs for iOS
|
|
|
|
Simplify your iOS development, grow your user base, and monetize more
|
|
effectively with Firebase services.
|
|
|
|
Much more information can be found at [https://firebase.google.com](https://firebase.google.com).
|
|
|
|
## 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](https://guides.cocoapods.org/using/getting-started.html#getting-started).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ 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/](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.
|
|
|
|
1. Create an Xcode project, and save it to your local machine.
|
|
2. Create a file named `Podfile` in your project directory. This file defines
|
|
your project's dependencies, and is commonly referred to as a Podspec.
|
|
3. Open `Podfile`, and add your dependencies. A simple Podspec is shown here:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
platform :ios, '8.0'
|
|
pod 'Firebase'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. Save the file.
|
|
|
|
5. Open a terminal and `cd` to the directory containing the Podfile.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd <path-to-project>/project/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
6. Run the `pod install` command. This will install the SDKs specified in the
|
|
Podspec, along with any dependencies they may have.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ pod install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
7. Open your app's `.xcworkspace` file to launch Xcode. Use this file for all
|
|
development on your app.
|
|
|
|
8. You can also install other Firebase SDKs by adding the subspecs in the
|
|
Podfile.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pod 'Firebase/AdMob'
|
|
pod 'Firebase/Analytics'
|
|
pod 'Firebase/Auth'
|
|
pod 'Firebase/Database'
|
|
pod 'Firebase/DynamicLinks'
|
|
pod 'Firebase/Firestore'
|
|
pod 'Firebase/Functions'
|
|
pod 'Firebase/InAppMessaging'
|
|
pod 'Firebase/InAppMessagingDisplay'
|
|
pod 'Firebase/Messaging'
|
|
pod 'Firebase/MLCommon'
|
|
pod 'Firebase/MLModelInterpreter'
|
|
pod 'Firebase/MLNLLanguageID'
|
