# iOS Installation
|
|
|
|
## 1) Setup GoogleService-Info.plist
|
|
Setup the `GoogleService-Info.plist` file by following the instructions and adding it to the root of your project at `ios/[YOUR APP NAME]/GoogleService-Info.plist` [here](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/setup#add_firebase_to_your_app).
|
|
|
|
### 1.1) Initialisation
|
|
Make sure you've added the following to the top of your `ios/[YOUR APP NAME]]/AppDelegate.m` file:
|
|
|
|
`#import <Firebase.h>`
|
|
|
|
and this to the `didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions` method before the `return` statement:
|
|
|
|
`[FIRApp configure];`
|
|
|
|
## 2) Setup RNFirebase
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, due to the fact that Firebase is much easier to setup using Cocoapods, *we do not recommend* `react-native link` as it is not customisable enough for our needs and we have had numerous problems reported.
|
|
|
|
### 2.0) If you don't already have Cocoapods set up
|
|
Follow the instructions to install Cocoapods and create your Podfile [here](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/setup#add_the_sdk).
|
|
|
|
**NOTE: The Podfile needs to be initialised in the `ios` directory of your project. Make sure to update cocoapods libs first by running `pod update`**
|
|
|
|
#### Troubleshooting
|
|
1) When running `pod install` you may encounter an error saying that a `tvOSTests` target is declared twice. This appears to be a bug with `pod init` and the way that react native is set up.
|
|
|
|
**Resolution:**
|
|
- Open your Podfile
|
|
- Remove the duplicate `tvOSTests` target nested within the main project target
|
|
- Re-run `pod install`.
|
|
|
|
2) When running `pod install` you may encounter a number of warnings relating to `target overrides 'OTHER_LDFLAGS'`.
|
|
|
|
**Resolution:**
|
|
- Open Xcode
|
|
- Select your project
|
|
- For each target:
|
|
-- Select the target
|
|
-- Click Build settings
|
|
-- Search for `other linker flags`
|
|
-- Add `$(inherited)` as the top line if it doesn't already exist
|
|
- Re-run `pod install`
|
|
|
|
3) When running `pod install` you may encounter a warning that a default iOS platform has been assigned. If you wish to specify a different minimum version:
|
|
|
|
**Resolution**
|
|
- Open your Podfile
|
|
- Uncomment the `# platform :ios, '9.0'` line by removing the `#` character
|
|
- Change the version as required
|
|
|
|
### 2.1) Add the required pods
|
|
Simply add the following to your `Podfile` either at the top level, or within the main project target:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
# Required by RNFirebase
|
|
pod 'Firebase/Core'
|
|
pod 'RNFirebase', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-firebase'
|
|
|
|
# [OPTIONAL PODS] - comment out pods for firebase products you won't be using.
|
|
pod 'Firebase/AdMob'
|
|
pod 'Firebase/Analytics'
|
|
pod 'Firebase/Auth'
|
|
pod 'Firebase/Crash'
|
|
pod 'Firebase/Database'
|
|
pod 'Firebase/DynamicLinks'
|
|
pod 'Firebase/Messaging'
|
|
pod 'Firebase/RemoteConfig'
|
|
pod 'Firebase/Storage'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are new to Cocoapods or do not already have React installed as a pod, then add Yoga and React to your `Podfile` as follows:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
pod "Yoga", :path => "../node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/yoga"
|
|
pod 'React', :path => '../node_modules/react-native', :subspecs => [
|
|
'BatchedBridge', # Required For React Native 0.45.0+
|
|
'Core',
|
|
# Add any other subspecs you want to use in your project
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run `pod install`.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE: You need to use the `ios/[YOUR APP NAME].xcworkspace` instead of the `ios/[YOUR APP NAME].xcproj` file from now on.**
|
|
|
|
#### Troubleshooting
|
|
1) You receive an error `No podspec found for 'RNFirebase'`
|
|
|
|
**Resolution**
|
|
- Run `npm install --save react-native-firebase` from the root of your project
|
|
|
|
## 3) Cloud Messaging (optional)
|
|
|
|
If you plan on using [Firebase Cloud Messaging](https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/) then, you need to:
|
|
|
|
**NOTE: FCM does not work on the iOS simulator, you must test is using a real device. This is a restriction enforced by Apple for some unknown reason.**
|
|
|
|
### 3.1) Set up certificates
|
|
|
|
Follow the instructions at https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/ios/certs
|
|
|
|
### 3.2) Enable capabilities
|
|
|
|
In Xcode, enable the following capabilities:
|
|
|
|
1) Push Notifications
|
|
2) Background modes > Remote notifications
|
|
|
|
### 3.3) Update `AppDelegate.h`
|
|
|
|
Add the following import:
|
|
|
|
`@import UserNotifications;`
|
|
|
|
Change the interface descriptor to:
|
|
|
|
`@interface AppDelegate : UIResponder <UIApplicationDelegate,UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate>`
|
|
|
|
### 3.4) Update `AppDelegate.m`
|
|
|
|
Add the following import:
|
|
|
|
`#import "RNFirebaseMessaging.h"`
|
|
|
|
Add the following to the `didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions` method after `[FIRApp Configure]`:
|
|
|
|
`[[UNUserNotificationCenter currentNotificationCenter] setDelegate:self];`
|
|
|
|
Add the following methods:
|
|
|
|
```objectivec
|
|
-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification {
|
|
[RNFirebaseMessaging didReceiveLocalNotification:notification];
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(nonnull NSDictionary *)userInfo {
|
|
[RNFirebaseMessaging didReceiveRemoteNotification:userInfo];
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(nonnull NSDictionary *)userInfo
|
|
fetchCompletionHandler:(nonnull void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))completionHandler{
|
|
[RNFirebaseMessaging didReceiveRemoteNotification:userInfo fetchCompletionHandler:completionHandler];
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
