Add Firebase to your iOS app

Register your iOS app

Open the Project Overview page in your Firebase project and launch the setup workflow via the iOS icon ().

If you've already added an app to your Firebase project, click Add app to display the platform options.

Next, you need to provide various information about your app.

Enter the following details and click Register app:

1. iOS bundle ID: The bundle ID of your iOS app (e.g. com.example.myapp) as defined in the capacitor.config.ts file:

   import { CapacitorConfig } from '@capacitor/cli';
   
   const config: CapacitorConfig = {
       appId: 'YOUR_APP_ID',
   };
   
   export default config;
   

2. App nickname: A nickname for your app (e.g. My App).

The next step is to download the GoogleService-Info.plist file and move it into the ios/App/App directory of your app.

After that you are done. The rest is already configured in the starter template. Click on Next twice and then on Continue to console.
