# iOS Installation
|
|
|
|
Setup the Firebase ios frameworks first; check out the relevant Firebase docs [here](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/setup#frameworks).
|
|
|
|
## cocoapods
|
|
|
|
We've automated the process of setting up with cocoapods. This will happen automatically upon linking the package with `react-native-cli`.
|
|
|
|
**Remember to use the `ios/[YOUR APP NAME].xcworkspace` instead of the `ios/[YOUR APP NAME].xcproj` file from now on**.
|
|
|
|
We need to link the package with our development packaging. We have two options to handle linking:
|
|
|
|
#### Automatically with react-native-cli
|
|
|
|
React native ships with a `link` command that can be used to link the projects together, which can help automate the process of linking our package environments.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
react-native link react-native-firebase
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Update the newly installed pods once the linking is done:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd ios && pod update --verbose
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Manually
|
|
|
|
If you prefer not to use `react-native link`, we can manually link the package together with the following steps, after `npm install`:
|
|
|
|
**A.** In XCode, right click on `Libraries` and find the `Add Files to [project name]`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
**B.** Add the `node_modules/react-native-firebase/ios/Firebase.xcodeproj`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**C.** Ensure that the `Build Settings` of the `RNFirebase.xcodeproj` project is ticked to _All_ and it's `Header Search Paths` include both of the following paths _and_ are set to _recursive_:
|
|
|
|
1. `$(SRCROOT)/../../react-native/React`
|
|
2. `$(SRCROOT)/../node_modules/react-native/React`
|
|
3. `${PROJECT_DIR}/../../../ios/Pods`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**D.** Setting up cocoapods
|
|
|
|
Since we're dependent upon cocoapods (or at least the Firebase libraries being available at the root project -- i.e. your application), we have to make them available for RNFirebase to find them.
|
|
|
|
Using cocoapods is the easiest way to get started with this linking. Add or update a `Podfile` at `ios/Podfile` in your app with the following:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
|
|
[
|
|
'Firebase/Core',
|
|
'Firebase/Auth',
|
|
'Firebase/Storage',
|
|
'Firebase/Database',
|
|
'Firebase/RemoteConfig',
|
|
'Firebase/Messaging'
|
|
].each do |lib|
|
|
pod lib
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then you can run `(cd ios && pod install)` to get the pods opened. If you do use this route, remember to use the `.xcworkspace` file.
