I created a new Xcode project, added the \'Firebase\' pod to my pod file and installed it, and added the Google-services.plist file and the rest according to the Firebase docume
In your Podfile, add pod
pod 'Firebase/Database'
Then import Firebase Database in your ViewController
import FirebaseDatabase
Create a globle var ref that you can use it anywhere in viewcontroller
var ref
var ref: DatabaseReference!
Now, In viewDidLoad Define the ref
viewDidLoad
ref
ref = Database.database().reference()
