iOS Manual Linking

The following steps are only required if you are using React Native <= 0.59 or need to manually integrate the library.

1. Add the `RNFBAnalytics` Pod

Add the RNFBDatabase Pod to your projects /ios/Podfile:

target 'app' do
  #  ...
  pod 'RNFBDatabase', :path => '../node_modules/@react-native-firebase/database'
end

You may need to update your local Pods in order for the RNFBDatabase Pod to be installed in your project:

$ cd ios/
$ pod install --repo-update

Once the Pods have installed locally, rebuild your iOS project:

npx react-native run-ios
