I'm trying to add Firebase and I keep getting a log message thats says:

Could not locate configuration file: 'GoogleService-Info.plist'.

I added the file in Xcode by way of File > Add new file to project.
Any suggestions?

In your screenshot it looks like the file name includes (7). What is that for? Also, you could try clearing your build cache (Command-Option-Shift-K) in Xcode. – chickenparm
7 it was. It worked! Thank you. – user6411634

It happens to me. Just erase the (7). The Xcode firebase framework connects to firebase through the GoogleService-Info.plist when you build your code an error will be display if the .plist file is not called exactly: GoogleService-Info.plist. At the moment that the .plist file has another character in the name, the firebase framework will not recognize it. The framework is searching just for the GoogleService-Info.plist not GoogleService-Info.plist (07)

This usually happens when you download several times your GoogleService-Info.plist from the console. If you want to avoid this. Get the file out from your "downloads" carpet. Otherwise, your computer is going to add a number at the end of the name file if you already have one inside that carpet. It creates a copy.

Hope this can help!

  2. Expand "Copy Bundle Resources"

  3. Click on Plus (+) button and add "GoogleService-Info.plist" file.

clean and build your project.

This file should be in your project directory, not in pods directory.

Rename your file GoogleService-Info(7).plist to GoogleService-Info.plist.

My experience:

google-service.plist was on the gitignore and the Xcode holds a reference to it (if did exists) it SHOULD NOT BE IN RED COLOR. that means the actual file is missing just add them back in each folder manually ( not through Xcode).

Just Drag and drop GoogleService-Info.plist into xcode
