Missing FirebaseFirestoreSwift Module in Latest SDK Versions

[Stp155906]

Description

Hi Firebase Team,

I’ve been working on a project that relies heavily on the FirebaseFirestoreSwift module for integrating Firestore with Swift's Codable protocol. This module was available in previous versions of the Firebase iOS SDK and is still mentioned in the official Firebase documentation.

However, after updating to the latest SDK version, I noticed that FirebaseFirestoreSwift seems to be missing. I’ve checked the repository and searched through the documentation but couldn’t find any references indicating whether this module has been moved, renamed, or deprecated.

Could you please clarify:

1. Has the FirebaseFirestoreSwift module been renamed or merged into another module in the latest SDK versions?
2. If it has been deprecated or removed, what is the recommended way to handle Codable support for Firestore in Swift in the current SDK?
3. Are there any alternative modules or methods provided by Firebase to achieve similar functionality?

I’ve tried rolling back to an older version of the SDK, but this has caused dependency resolution issues in Xcode. I’m hoping to find a clear path forward with the latest stable SDK version.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,
Shantalia

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

The Firestore Swift extensions are now part of the FirebaseFirestore library. FirebaseFirestoreSwift has been discontinued.

See the Release Notes for more details.
