I do this in my demo generator and it seems to work fine
https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/eda24a71990e95e8a91b17b27b0cc1417031808b/make-demo.sh#L19

However @Lucas-Geitner I do the old style in my work project and it also works fine

This causes you to fail to archive - using the old style?

[Lucas-Geitner]

Yes exactly, when i Archive (with fastlane) it throw an error. It doesn't with the old way.

[mikehardy]

Very interesting. With my demo script (using @import style) I do not attempt to archive, so I don't have experience trying it.

With my work project I use #import <Firebase.h> and it archives fine, via fastlane also, so my experience does not match yours - mine works this way and yours fails.

Why the difference? 🤔

[Lucas-Geitner]

Hello @mikehardy,

Thanks for you fast answer;
I woudn't know neither, i'm not an expert in native language;

It's a production app built with a fresh fresh new react-native 0.63 app , unfortunately, i cannot share the source code with you.

This is the error i got:

use of undeclared identifier 'FIRApp'

Tell me if i can help in any way

[Lucas-Geitner]

I found why it didn't work,

it have nothing to do with React Native Firebase 😄,

This is a related issue zoontek/react-native-bootsplash#139

👉🏻 There is now a condition in appDelegate.m in react-native 0.63 my import was after this condition.

I think we can close this issue or improved the documentation if you think you won't have any case like mine,

Thanks !

 #import "AppDelegate.h"
#import "RNBootSplash.h" 
#import <Firebase.h> // <- add the header import should be before  ifdef FB_SONARKIT_ENABLED


#import <React/RCTBridge.h>
#import <React/RCTBundleURLProvider.h>
#import <React/RCTRootView.h>

#ifdef FB_SONARKIT_ENABLED  //  <- THE NEW CONDITION
#import <FlipperKit/FlipperClient.h>
#import <FlipperKitLayoutPlugin/FlipperKitLayoutPlugin.h>
#import <FlipperKitUserDefaultsPlugin/FKUserDefaultsPlugin.h>
#import <FlipperKitNetworkPlugin/FlipperKitNetworkPlugin.h>
#import <SKIOSNetworkPlugin/SKIOSNetworkAdapter.h>
#import <FlipperKitReactPlugin/FlipperKitReactPlugin.h>

That makes a lot more sense, whew! I'm not great at Objective-C but I couldn't understand this one. There is a tips-and-tricks section on rnfirebase.io, you might add a new case "My app no longer compiles after upgrading to react-native 0.63, can't find firebase" (or the specific error, whatever it is) and then the explanation
