Add Gemini AI to Your SwiftUI App (2026) – Complete Setup Guide

Add Google's Gemini AI to your SwiftUI app using the official Firebase AI Logic SDK - the ONLY supported way to call Gemini from iOS in 2026. Most tutorials online still teach the deprecated standalone SDK. This video shows you the current, correct setup.

⚠️ The old google-gemini/generative-ai-swift package was DEPRECATED in December 2025. If you're following a tutorial that uses "import GoogleGenerativeAI" - it's outdated. This video uses Firebase AI Logic, which is Google's current and only supported path.
