Trouble adding Firebase Database to the iOS part

Question

I'm trying to get the FlutterFire Database working on the iOS part (it works fine on Android) of my application, but I'm getting some error messages saying that my GoogleService-Info.plist file is no where to be found. But I'm pretty sure it is placed correctly in my project.
This is the console output:

[Firebase/Core][I-COR000003] The default Firebase app has not yet been configured. Add [FIRApp configure] to your application initialization. Read more: https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/setup#initialize_firebase_in_your_app.
[Firebase/Core][I-COR000012] Could not locate configuration file: 'GoogleService-Info.plist'.
[Firebase/Core][I-COR000005] No app has been configured yet.
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'com.firebase.core', reason: '[FIRApp configure] could not find a valid GoogleService-Info.plist in your project. Please download one from https://console.firebase.google.com/.'

And here is a screenshot of my project tree:

I'm trying this in the GeoFire plugin example folder, which can be found here: https://github.com/bramvbilsen/Flutter-GeoFire/tree/master/example I'd love to hear whether you guys have more luck and a possible solution of course!

Did you call the configure function the first error message references? — Connor Neville, Oct 06 '17 at 17:28
I did not, where should this be called? I'm just using the `FlutterFire` plugin and thought the exact Dart code that runs on Android would run on iOS. — Bram Vanbilsen, Oct 06 '17 at 17:32
I'm not familiar with FlutterFire, but when configuring a project that just uses Firebase, it's always required me to call `FirebaseApp.configure()`. Best to put it in `AppDelegate`'s `didFinishLaunching`. — Connor Neville, Oct 06 '17 at 17:36
I can't even import `Firebase` in my `AppDelegate.m` file! I'm lost... — Bram Vanbilsen, Oct 06 '17 at 19:04
"could not find a valid GoogleService-Info.plist in your project" Make sure that you download the `GoogleService-Info.plist` from the Firebase console and add it to the correct spot in your project. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45317777/could-not-find-a-valid-googleservice-info-plist-in-your-project — Frank van Puffelen, Oct 06 '17 at 19:21
But I'm 99% sure I did do that correctly! Like you can see my project tree has the file included on the correct place. I downloaded the file from my firebase console and the bundle id has been set correctly. — Bram Vanbilsen, Oct 06 '17 at 19:31
Would any of you be so kind to see take a look whether you are getting the same error result with the provided repo? — Bram Vanbilsen, Oct 06 '17 at 19:32

Alright, I found the solution! Apparently Xcode 9 doesn't add the file to your actual project!

This can be fixed be clicking on the GoogleServices-info.plist file
Checking the Runner project in the Target Membership tab
