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

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
