Step 0: Are you in the right place?

• For issues or feature requests related to the code in this repository
  file a GitHub issue.
  • If this is a feature request please use the Feature Request template.
• For general technical questions, post a question on StackOverflow
  with the firebase tag.
• For general (non-iOS) Firebase discussion, use the firebase-talk
  google group.
• For backend issues, console issues, and other non-SDK help that does not fall under one
  of the above categories, reach out to
  Firebase Support.
• Once you've read this section and determined that your issue is appropriate for
  this repository, please delete this section.

[REQUIRED] Step 1: Describe your environment

• Xcode version: 13.4
• Firebase SDK version: 9.0 (also tried 8.15.0)
• Installation method: Swift Package Manager
• Firebase Component: Firestore (Auth, Core, Database, Firestore, Messaging, Storage, etc)
• Target platform(s): iOS [swiftui]

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Xcode does not recognise import firebase

Xcode does not recognise firebase when importing firebase in the app.swift file. That course xcode error message; No such module 'Firebase'

So Build Failed

What happened? How can we make the problem occur?
This could be a description, log/console output, etc.

If you have a downloadable sample project that reproduces the bug you're reporting, you will
likely receive a faster response on your issue.

I'm new, tried everything I could find and will really appreciate assistance? Thanks Adriaan

Hi @A3anVis, I tried reproducing the issue, but my sample app builds successfully. Could you confirm if you have tried the following:

• Delete your Xcode's derived data
• Open File > Packages then click Reset package caches

Also, make sure that you have followed the steps here.

[image: image.png] Hi @rizafran Thank you for the reply. I did as you requested, but no luck. The problem persists even when I build it with cocoapods or SPM, SwiftUI and Swift UIKit. Earlier version of the SDK 8.15.0 or 9.0.0. I do not seem to be able to build to project, any thoughts? Thanks A3aan

Thanks for the update, @A3anVis. My sample app successfully builds even when using CocoaPods (both 8.15.0 and 9.0.0). Could you provide an MCVE that reproduces the issue?

Hi @rizfran Last night I completely deleted Xcode and reinstalled it overnight. Create a new Firebase app at Firebase console. Created a simple swiftui app Loaded SPM Connected and after entering the import FirebaseCore statement got the error again. [image: image.png] I will really appreciate the assistance, it's tough to think about what I should try next without breaking something else. The only other thing that I can think of and I know I am reaching here at straws is when I load the spm using add packages, it initially does not see the firebase-ios-sdk but gives me the option to load it anyway, then after that, I get it up and running using the reset Package Caches and resolve package versions options. Thanks Adriaan

I'm sorry to hear that, @A3anVis. It's hard for me to identify the issue since it's not reproducible on my sample project. Does the issue only happen in your Xcode 13.4?

UPDATE: (SOLUTION)

Chris Parker @ https://codecrew.codewithchris.com/ solved the issue for me.

Here is what he wrote and it worked for me:

"I just tried to install Firebase again and the problem still exists. I looked a bit closer to the options that had defaulted with regard to the Dependency rule and the option that had defaulted was “Branch”. I changed that to “Up to the next major Version” and the package selections that I was expecting to see did in fact appear so that’s what the problem was."

I just want to say a really big thank you to Chris Parker at codewithchris, he really came through for me.

THANK YOU CHRIS PARKER

In my quest to better myself, are there may be someone that could explain why changing the Dependency rule worked?
