Add Firebase
Make sure you already have Firebase enabled in your project. Read the Firebase Auth section of this handbook to learn how to set up Firebase in your SwiftUI project. When adding the package to your project (https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk.git), make sure you check the FirebaseMessaging and FirebaseAnalytics options so you can connect to Firebase Cloud Messaging in your app.
Apple Developer Program
Before we continue, make sure that you are part of the Apple Developer Program, as some features aren't available to free users. You can check your program type by going to your Apple Developer Account > Membership. If you aren't part of it, you can enroll here.
Get an APNs Authentication key
In order to be able to send push notifications to your users, you'll need to create an Apple Push Notifications service key. To do so, navigate to https://developer.apple.com/account to access your Developer account.
Click on Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles > Keys and add a new key by clicking on the blue + sign next to the Keys title. Enter a key name, check the Apple Push Notifications service (APNs) option, then download you APNs Authentication Key - save it in a secure place, as you'll need it later and it's a one-time download only!
You are allowed a maximum of two Keys for APNs. If you have already reached the maximum, revoke an old key that you're not using and create a new one.
Link Firebase Cloud Messaging to your Authentication Key
Using the APNs Authentication Key we just created at the step above, we'll need to link it to Firebase Cloud Messaging. To do so, head on to your project's Firebase console. Next to Project Overview, click on the gear icon > Project settings. Click on Cloud Messaging and scroll down to iOS app configuration.
Under APNs Authentication Key, click on Upload and upload the .p8 file you just downloaded at the step above. The name of the required file is something like AuthKey_28D9YRGAO03.p8.
You'll also need to provide your Key ID and Team ID.
Find the Key ID in your Apple Developer Account, under Certificates, IDs & Profiles > Keys. Click on YourKeyName, and you'll find your Key ID there.
Find the Team ID under Membership in your Apple Developer Account.
Add capabilities to your project
Next, you'll need to add capabilities to your project so you can send notifications to your users. Make sure that you are part of the Apple Developer Program, as some capabilities aren't available to free users. Check the available capabilities for your account type here.
If all is set and you're under the Apple Developer Program, head back to your Xcode project and navigate to your App > iOS > Signing & Capabilities. Add a new capability by clicking on + Capability.
Add Push Notifications and Background Modes to your project. Under Background Modes, check Background fetch and Remote notifications. This will allow us to send notifications from our server (Firebase Cloud Messaging) to the user.
When everything is set up, you can move on to the next section to learn how to create an AppDelegate and start sending test notifications from Firebase Cloud Messaging to your device!
