iOS Setup

Add iOS app

1. In Firebase Console, click Add App → iOS.

2. Enter your iOS Bundle ID — must exactly match Xcode Bundle Identifier (see Updating Package & Bundle ID).

3. Download GoogleService-Info.plist.

Add to Xcode

1. Open ios/Runner.xcworkspace in Xcode.

2. Right-click Runner → Add Files to "Runner" → select GoogleService-Info.plist → check Copy items if needed and ensure target Runner is checked.

APNs authentication key

Apple requires an APNs key to deliver background notifications:

1. In Apple Developer Portal → Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles → Keys, create or open an APNs Authentication Key (.p8).

2. In Firebase Console → Project Settings → Cloud Messaging → Apple app configuration, upload the .p8 file (enter Key ID and Team ID).

Backend admin panel upload

After both platform files are ready:

Notifications → Firebase Settings (/admin/firebase/settings)

Upload your service account credentials firebase_credentials.json so the server can dispatch push notifications to the provider app.
