Unable to import Firebase into Swift Playground

Question

hope this finds you well.

For the past few painful hours, I\'ve been trying to find a way to import the Firebase module into my Swift Playground, inside of my workspace,

Answer 1

(Breaking out from a comment to an answer)

I was able to get around this in two ways. The first thing may be enough, but if not the second should do it.

1. Compile the workspace. Although the Pods are in the project, the frameworks don't fully exist yet. Compiling may be enough to trigger things.

If that doesn't work...

2. As you mentioned originally in your question, create a new Framework and add Firebase/Firestore as a dependency. My Podfile ended up looking like:

target 'FirebasePlaygroundDemo' do
  use_frameworks!
  pod 'Firebase/Firestore'
end

target 'FirebaseDummy' do
  use_frameworks!
  pod 'Firebase/Firestore'
end

where FirebaseDummy was the name of my newly created Framework. Then, in the Playground I had to import FirebaseDummy as well as FirebaseCore and FirebaseFirestore.

Hope that helps, can assist further if not!
