I’ve followed the directions in the documentation for adding Firebase to my IOS app, but when I add the GoogleService-Info.plist, the app doesn’t proceed past the splash screen. I tested removing the .plist and the app downloaded and operated normally. Please update the documentation on the proper procedures to implement the Realtime database.

I can confirm the problem. I saw this opened topic too late and posted my screenshots at another topic:

> Hello @albert , can I ask for your help: A simple helloworld program is now successfully downloaded, but when I add the firebase component, the app does not built (so the email from steve jeaver said) [Screenshot from 2018-01-31 19-27-49] further testing showed, that a app with no firebase component (no component at all) but the uploaded plist-file was not able to built - strange.…
After removing the plist-file, downloading was no problem

I suggest to close this thread 🙂 super happy!
btw: using unallowed characters while uploading a new key will cause a silent ending of the iOS app ( just in case someone in the community is doing tests)
