Could not find a valid GoogleService-Info.plist in

Question

When I run my swift 3.2 code with Xcode 9 beta 4 this is the error I get:

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'com.firebase.core', reason: '[FIRApp configure]; (FirebaseApp.configure() in Swift) could not find a valid GoogleService-Info.plist in your project. Please download one from https://console.firebase.google.com/.'

I already have a GoogleService-Info.plist file that is named exactly like it should and it is valid.

Is there any trial to firebase or something like that?

Answer 1

1. Actually this error is occur when GoogleService-Info.plist file is not actually located in our project folder but it just have a reference to that file where it is downloaded. So solution is that remove reference to this file and again add it to your project folder by drag and drop or by using "Add Files ..." option by right click to your project folder. Also recheck whether file is locating your project folder destination otherwise error will be occur again.

2. Don't forget to check your "GoogleService-Info.plist" file have same name as shown in error otherwise rename it.

Answer 2

Once you add the file to the project, you may also need to add it to Build Phases in the Compile Sources section.

Answer 3

Go to build phases and add file in copy bundle resources. Thats it.

Answer 4

Doing a clean then build a couple times worked for me.

Answer 5

Below setting can fix my compiler fail 1. Add to "Copy Files" 2. Not add to "Copy Bundle Resources"

Answer 6

I had the same issue.

Click on the Googleservice-info.plist in your project and check Target Membership for app in the inspector. That fixed it for me.

That is the reason for this crash and removing the file and adding again is another way of doing as suggested by answers above. But the actual cause is this and this is the right way to solve it.
