Cannot Import Firebase Into Swift Class

Question

I am totally new to Firebase and building iOS apps. In Xcode 7, I am trying to import Firebase into my Swift class. In a swift file, I have typed \"import Firebase\".

Answer 1

If you imported Firebase manually, update Framework Search Paths and Header Search Paths under your target's Build Settings so they include the Firebase frameworks.

Answer 2

So after spending hours and hours trying to fix this error I did the following and my life went back to normal

a) Went to my Podfile and changed pod 'Firebase', '~> 4.8' to pod 'Firebase/Core'

b) Then I went into my AppDdelegate changed from import Firebase to import FirebaseCore

If you were facing the same problem as me this solution will work for you

Answer 3

1. open terminal and type cd "drag and drop your project" Enter
2. type "pod init"
3. open pod file with xcode
4. under use_frameworks! type pod 'Firebase' pod 'Firebase/xxx'
5. back to terminal and type "pod install" 6.open your project folder and run xxx.xcworkspace

Answer 4

For me, I had to make sure that cocoapods was updated to version 1.0.0.

Just run sudo gem install cocoapods, then clean project and pod install. Compiler should not complain anymore.

Answer 5

For me, I found that I wrote the line : (pod 'Firebase') in the wrong line in the pod file. you only need to find the comment : # Pods for projectName and then replace it with pods like: pod 'Firebase' or : pod 'Firebase/Auth'

Answer 6

There are two ways to install Firebase: manually, and with CocoaPods.

I recommend using CocoaPods. In your Podfile, make sure you specify use_frameworks!:

platform :ios, "9.0"
use_frameworks!

target 'MyProject' do
 pod 'Firebase'
end

Then after you pod install and open the MyProject.xcworkspace, you should be able to use import Firebase.

edit by Jay:

If you are targeting OS X your pod file may look more like this

platform :osx, '10.10'
use_frameworks!

target 'MyProject' do
  pod 'FirebaseOSX', '>= 2.4.2'
end
