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

When using the CocoaPods installation method, you can start by removing the project workspace file:
rm -rf MyProject.xcworkspace

Then, edit the Podfile to following, which will be automatically set for the latest version of Firebase:

use_frameworks! 
target 'MyProject' do
  pod 'Firebase/Core'
  pod 'Firebase/Database'
end

target 'MyProjectUITests' do
  pod 'Firebase/Core'
  pod 'Firebase/Database'
end

Finally, reinstall the pod

pod install

Answer 2

If you have added the firebase framework manually, delete it and add it again.Rebuild the project and it will work.

There seems to be a bug.This happens when you discard the changes.

Answer 3

In your Podfile make sure to have pod 'Firebase' in addition to your pod 'Firebase/Core' After, :wq from vim and run a command pod update. Make sure to open .xcworkspace

Answer 4

Those who are using swift 3 are welcome to try this. It worked for me.

My pod file:

platform :osx, '9.0'
use_frameworks!

target 'MyProject' do
  pod 'Firebase/Messaging'
  pod 'Firebase'
end

AppDelegate:

import FirebaseCore
import FirebaseMessaging

Answer 5

For me it was this:

The Framework is called FirebaseAnalytics now and not Firebase.

The official documentation even has this wrong.

So after installing with CocoaPods (Firebase version 3.4.0) this works:

import FirebaseAnalytics
