FirebaseUI is an open-source library for iOS that allows you to quickly connect common UI elements to the Firebase database for data storage, allowing views to be updated in realtime as they change, and providing simple interfaces for common tasks like displaying lists or collections of items.

Additionally, FirebaseUI simplifies Firebase authentication by providing easy to use auth methods that integrate with common identity providers like Facebook, Twitter, and Google as well as allowing developers to use a built in headful UI for ease of development.

FirebaseUI clients are also available for Android and web .

FirebaseUI supports iOS 8.0+ and Xcode 11+. We recommend using CocoaPods , add the following to your Podfile :

pod
 'FirebaseUI'
,
 '~> 8.0'
       # Pull in all Firebase UI features

If you don't want to use all of FirebaseUI, there are multiple subspecs which can selectively install subsets of the full feature set:

# Only pull in Firestore features

pod
 'FirebaseUI/Firestore'
,
 '~> 8.0'


# Only pull in Database features

pod
 'FirebaseUI/Database'
,
 '~> 8.0'


# Only pull in Storage features

pod
 'FirebaseUI/Storage'
,
 '~> 8.0'


# Only pull in Auth features

pod
 'FirebaseUI/Auth'
,
 '~> 8.0'


# Only pull in Facebook login features

pod
 'FirebaseUI/Facebook'
,
 '~> 8.0'


# Only pull in Google login features

pod
 'FirebaseUI/Google'
,
 '~> 8.0'


# Only pull in Phone Auth login features

pod
 'FirebaseUI/Phone'
,
 '~> 8.0'

If you're including FirebaseUI in a Swift project, make sure you also have:

platform
 :ios
,
 '9.0'

use_frameworks!

Otherwise, you can include the FirebaseUI Xcode project from this repo in your project. You also need to add the Firebase framework to your project.

The READMEs for components of FirebaseUI can be found in their respective project folders.

• Auth
• PhoneAuth
• Database
• Firestore
• Storage

If you'd like to contribute to FirebaseUI for iOS, you'll need to run the following commands to get your environment set up:

$ git clone https://github.com/firebase/FirebaseUI-iOS.git
$ 
cd
 FirebaseUI-iOS
$ 
cd
 Auth 
#
 or PhoneAuth, Database, etc

$ pod install

Alternatively you can use pod try FirebaseUI to install the Objective-C or Swift sample projects.

You'll have to configure your Xcode project in order to run the samples.

1. Your Xcode project should contain a GoogleService-Info.plist , downloaded from Firebase console when you add your app to a Firebase project.
   Copy the GoogleService-Info.plist into the sample project folder ( samples/obj-c/GoogleService-Info.plist or samples/swift/GoogleService-Info.plist ).

2. Update URL Types.
   Go to Project Settings -> Info tab -> Url Types and update values for:

   • REVERSED_CLIENT_ID (get value from GoogleService-Info.plist )
   • fb{your-app-id} (put Facebook App Id)

3. Update Info.plist with Facebook configuration values

   • FacebookAppID -> {your-app-id} (put Facebook App Id)

4. Enable Keychain Sharing.
   Facebook SDK requires keychain sharing.
   This can be done here: Project Settings -> Capabilities -> KeyChain Sharing -> ON

5. Don't forget to configure your Firebase App Database using Firebase console .
   Database should contain appropriate read/write permissions and folders ( objc_demo-chat and swift_demo-chat respectively)

6. In Order to use Phone Auth provider you should Configure Push Notifications

• Push Notification - Under Capabilities tab in your app target choose Push Notifications and put the switch to the On position.
• Background Mode - Under Capabilities tab in your app target choose Background Modes put the switch to the On position. In the list of available modes select Background fetch and Remote notifications (If available).

1. Create your Provisioning APNS SSL Certificates by following the steps on the following link. https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/ios/certs

2. Upload your APNS Certificate to Firebase:

   • Inside your project in the Firebase console, select the gear icon, select Project Settings , and then select the Cloud Messaging tab.
   • Select the Upload Certificate button for your development certificate, your production certificate, or both. At least one is required.
   • For each certificate, select the .p12 file , and provide the password, if any. Make sure the bundle ID for this certificate matches the bundle ID of your app. Select Save .

We'd love to accept your sample apps and patches! Before we can take them, we have to jump a couple of legal hurdles.
