This page offers tips and troubleshooting for iOS-specific issues
that you might encounter when using Firebase.

product-specific FAQ.
You can also check out the
Firebase iOS SDK GitHub repo
for an up-to-date list of reported issues and troubleshooting. We encourage you

What versions of Xcode does Firebase support?
Firebase supports up to two major versions of Xcode, not including versions
of Xcode that Apple no longer supports. For example, starting in March 2019,
Apple requires at least iOS 12 on all iOS apps, meaning Xcode 9 support will
be dropped and Xcode 10 will be the only major version supported.
Changes to support for specific minor or patch versions of Xcode
(for example, 9.2.0 to 9.4.1) are determined based on the needs of the
Firebase iOS SDK and a survey of developer usage. These changes are
reflected in the
Firebase iOS SDK release notes
and on the Firebase iOS SDK setup page.
To see the minimum Xcode version supported by the Firebase iOS SDK, check
the requirements listed in
Add Firebase to your iOS Project.
Firebase support for Beta releases of Xcode is available on a "best effort"
basis. Developers can track and submit issues in the
Firebase iOS SDK repository on GitHub.
