Playground in Swift won't use Firebase

Question

As u probably all might know Firebase made a Version jump and I am trying to get my setup working with the Xcode Playground.

There is a reference how to implement Firebase in Playground with older versions of Cocoapods and Ruby but that won't really work for me swift playground for experimenting with firebase . Even though Firebase implementation in the Project itself works fine and i can import my Firebase it won't work on a Playground any more.

Does somebody know how to add a working setup with a Playground and Firebase?

Software in use:

• Cocoapods: 2.6.4
• Pod: 1.0
• Xcode: 7.3.1
• Firebase: 3.2.0

Any help or clues here for me?

Answer 1

I created a Framework and then imported into my Playground. Make sure you properly target the framework in the Podfile:

target 'YourApp' do
    pod 'Firebase/Core'
    target 'YourAppFramework' do
    end
end

Once you build the framework then import:

import AppFramework
import FirebaseCore

Most things will work, except for Auth related functions.
