Use of unresolved identifier 'FIRDatabase' when using Firebase

Question

Xcode tells me that FIRDatabaseis not an identifier. My code:

import UIKit
import Firebase

@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApp         


        

Answer 1

What worked for me, in addition to adding pod 'Firebase/Database', was (which is missing from the current docs):

import FirebaseDatabase

Tested with Xcode 7.3.1, CocoaPods 0.39.0 & 1.0.1 on macOS 10.11.5. To make sure you're doing this correctly, please make sure your Podfile.lock looks something like:

PODS:
  ...
  - FirebaseDatabase (3.0.1):
    - FirebaseAnalytics (~> 3.2)
  ...

P.S. I ran into CocoaPods issues that forced me to delete the derived data folder, so try that as well.
