Now we need to install Firebase pods in project.

Open Terminal and go to your project directory “cd proejctpath”

• Run command in terminal “pod init”
• Find pod file in your project directory and open it
• Add pod ‘firebase’ podfile

pod 'firebase'

Go to project directory in Terminal and run ‘pod install’

Now we’re all set, Open project.xcworkspace and go to AppDelegate.swift and add these lines of code.
