Description

On the README, the instructions to install Firebase SDK are:

```
cd ios && pod init
pod install Firebase/Messaging
```

From the [official instructions](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/setup), the `Firebase/Core` is also needed.

Additionally, running `pod install Firebase/Messaging` didn't worked for me. Instead, I created a Podfile containing:

```
pod 'Firebase/Core'
pod 'Firebase/Messaging'
```

After that, running `pod install` was enough to download the dependencies.

Another note that newbies on IOS/CocoaPod may encounter (I spent some hours on this) was that you need to open the `yourpoject.xcworkspace` instead of `yourproject.xcodeproj`.

I'm not sure if any of these informations are specific on my setup, so I won't submit a PR for the README, but I think it's worth adding more information on it.

Research direction

Start in the README’s Firebase SDK installation instructions and compare them with the linked official Firebase iOS setup guidance. Verify the Firebase/Core and Firebase/Messaging Podfile steps and the workspace-versus-project opening note; the README should give working, unambiguous setup instructions for newcomers.
