+### iOS Integration
+
+To integrate your plugin into the iOS part of your app, follow these steps:
+
+1. Generate the certificates required by Apple for receiving push notifications following [this guide](https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/ios/certs) in the Firebase docs. You can skip the section titled "Create the Provisioning Profile".
+
+1. Using the [Firebase Console](https://console.firebase.google.com/) add an iOS app to your project: Follow the assistant, download the generated `GoogleService-Info.plist` file, open `ios/Runner.xcworkspace` with Xcode, and within Xcode place the file inside `ios/Runner`. **Don't** follow the steps named "Add Firebase SDK" and "Add initialization code" in the Firebase assistant.
+
+1. In Xcode, select `Runner` in the Project Navigator. In the Capabilities Tab turn on `Push Notifications` and `Background Modes`, and enable `Background fetch` and `Remote notifications` under `Background Modes`.
+
+1. Follow the steps in the "[Upload your APNs certificate](https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/ios/client#upload_your_apns_certificate)" section of the Firebase docs.
+
+1. If you need to disable the method swizzling done by the FCM iOS SDK (e.g. so that you can use this plugin with other notification plugins) then add the following to your application's `Info.plist` file.
+
+```xml
+<key>FirebaseAppDelegateProxyEnabled</key>
+<false/>
+```
+
+After that, add the following lines to the `(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions`
+method in the `AppDelegate.m`/`AppDelegate.swift` of your iOS project.
+
+Objective-C:
+```objectivec
+if (@available(iOS 10.0, *)) {
+  [UNUserNotificationCenter currentNotificationCenter].delegate = (id<UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate>) self;
+}
+```
+
+Swift:
+```swift
+if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
+  UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self as? UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate
+}
+```
