Prebuild react native firebase

[idlework]

I remember react native firebase supporting prebuild packages, but I can't find any documentation on it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? ✌🏼

It's not prebuilt packages, it's called pre-compiled SDKs
This is an iOS-specific feature

To enable this, edit your ios/Podfile:

1. Add this line at the very top of your Podfile:

   $RNFirebaseAsStaticFramework = true

2. Inside the main app target, add the use_frameworks! line:

   target 'YourAppName' do
     # ... other config
   
     use_frameworks! :linkage => :static
   
     # ... other config
   end

Full Documentation

official guide for this on the RNFirebase documentation website:-

Go to: https://rnfirebase.io/ → Docs → Getting Started → Installation → Apple

Then, scroll down to the section titled "Speed up your iOS builds (Optional)". It has the exact code snippets.
