Installing Firebase using CocoaPods

I tried to install Firebase using CocoaPods in Xcode and get error: Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "_OBJC_CLASS_$_FIRApp", referenced from: objc-class-ref in test40_appDelegate.o ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) Anyone succeeded this?

You need to open the workspace not the project when using cocoa pods. That's when I normally see that error with any cocoa pods .

Thanks, but I did that. I also tried selfhosted and BT server, result is all the same. I think, if you try little test yourself (very straightforward: https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/setup), you will found exactly the same error. I also tried: Build Settings > Other Linker Flags > on a new line $(inherited), still the same.

I avoid coacopods like the plague normally. This is in my bookmarks used it last year to install without it. It's a year or two old but worked easy enough.

What is it your looking to build. CloudKit is easy enough no easy cross platform though

Why Firebase? I installed OneSignal push notifications in Firebase in iOS in few minutes (try it, it is very easy), before it was really hard this to implement. Same is with adMob, beside that you have all analytics of your app and it works really, really fine. This is my experience with Firebase (on iOS and Android) which I used in non-BT apps. On my opinion Firebase is essential.

Cool I wasn't knocking it, just wondering what you were using it for. I quite like there database model because it's JSON and it links well with buzztouch in that sense. I forgot the link ha ha I must have sounded bonkers http://www.mokacoding.com/blog/setting-up-firebase-without-cocoapods/ I used this a couple of years back I bet the principles are still the same.

OK, but why do it hard way, if there is very logic solution. Looks like problem is BT: if BT community have a will to survive, questions like that should be really trivial; Firebase, OneSignal, adMob, etc. Without these essential items, which basically should be part of BT (and should take couple of minutes in any project, not hours and days) we are far behind others.

No it works. Firestore works analytics.
