This is the error that I am receiving. I cannot resolve it. any help?
Welcome to the Code Crew community.
Have you installed the Firebase frameworks via cocoapods or Swift Package Manager?
Can you show a screenshot of the code where the error is ocurring?
Hi Chris,
I have installed the Firebase via cocoapods.
Pod version is: 1.11.2
XCode version is: 13.2.1
OS: MacOS Monterey 12.1
Pods installed: Firebase/Analytics, Firebase/Auth & Firebase/Firestore.
I’d highly recommend using swift package manager instead, it’s easier
But if you want to keep Cocoapods, try to clean the build folder (Cmd +Shift + K) and build again
Did you see in the Firebase console that your app connected to Firebase?
Cleaning the build folder didn’t help. I would want to try the swift package manager. Is there any link that guides me through the steps?
If you intend to make use of Swift Package Manager (SPM) then you need to de-integrate pods from your project prior to adding the Firebase libraries via SPM.
Open Terminal
Navigate to your project folder
Use the command pod deintegrate
Exit Terminal
In Finder delete the .xcworkspace, Podfile and Podfile.lock files (if they still exist).
This explanation from Apple shows you how to add dependencies via Swift Package Manager.
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift_packages/adding_package_dependencies_to_your_app
The Firebase documentation also provides you with the url for the Firebase SDK Swift Package
https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/setup
Just a side note. It is very important for you as a developer to gain good search skills so that you can find answers online.

Hi
I am taking the Database course and I also get "Cannot fine Firestore in scope when I enter the line “let db = Firestore.firestore()” in the ViewController. I have deleted everything and re-installed using the package manager twice. Still have the problem.
OK. Problem solved. You need to import FirebaseFirestore

Welcome to the community!
Yes when using code from different libraries whether its Firestore, Combine, UIKit, or anything else, you always have to import it at the top of the file
Thanks for this!
