Firebase for Apple developers: What you should know
summary
Firebase for Apple platforms now ships Swift Package Manager support, optional Swift extensions (Codable + Firestore parsing), SwiftUI helpers for analytics and in‑app messages, Combine publishers and early async/await examples, and community contributions that include 139 contributors and over 5000 pull requests closed across the repo. Demos show watchOS apps downloading Storage assets directly, push requiring manual APNs token wiring (no swizzling), and concrete code snippets that compile and run across iOS, watchOS, tvOS and macOS.
