Nano Banana Image Generator: SwiftUI & Firebase Integration 🖼️

This repository hosts an iOS SwiftUI application that provides a user interface for saving, viewing, and replaying image generation prompts using the Gemini API.

The application leverages Firebase services:

• Firebase AI SDK (Gemini Nano Banana API): For image generation based on user prompts.
• Firebase Data Connect: For persistent storage and retrieval of user-saved prompts, allowing for easy replay.
• Firebase Authentication with Google Sign-in.

cd imagepromptorganizer

• Configure the Xcode Project:
  • Update the Bundle Identifier to a unique value.
  • Configure App Signing to use your developer account and profile.

2. Firebase Project Integration

The application requires a Firebase project with specific services enabled:

3. Integrating Firebase Data Connect

This repository includes a pre-configured Data Connect project structure (schema, queries, and supporting files). To utilize it:

• Install the Firebase Data Connect iOS SDK : Follow the "Getting Started" guide to integrate the Data Connect SDK into your Xcode project.
  • In short -> the cloned Data Connect iOS SDK contains a 'FDC Tools' target. Start the FDC tools via Xcode target (scheme) and set the working directory to be this repo clone. The tool should pick up the project contained in the repo.
• Generated Data Connect Client Code: The included project already contains schema, queries and generated Swift code for that schema.
