LGTM - assuming the other two boxes will be done separately

Hi @mikehardy, heads up that firebase-ios-sdk's 10.12 release will require Xcode 16.2. This is in preparation for Apple's April 24 deadline to start releasing apps with Xcode 16: https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=9s0rgdy9

Ah - thanks for the heads up - we've got another similarly-tiny but nevertheless breaking change queued up over in react-native-firebase and I was looking for something/anything to bundle with it, this fits the bill.

@ncooke3 just noticed this - wasn't expecting to see my name in your yaml 😆
Just a note that I've deprecated that action because I consider ccache to be superior due to more widespread adoption vs buildcache. Used to be ccache couldn't handle caching Xcode mobile builds so buildcache was the only option, but there is now a well-known set of options to use for ccache to achieve good caching behavior

Here is my ccache.conf if that helps:

max_size = 60G
sloppiness = clang_index_store,file_stat_matches,include_file_ctime,include_file_mtime,ivfsoverlay,pch_defines,modules,system_headers,time_macros
file_clone = true
depend_mode = true
inode_cache = true

alternatively you may specify all these things in environment like so:

https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/blob/c26253c82f0a13f62608941d266a63071667cc16/.github/workflows/tests_e2e_ios.yml#L155-L159

in combo with ccache-action:

https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/blob/c26253c82f0a13f62608941d266a63071667cc16/.github/workflows/tests_e2e_ios.yml#L83-L88

then the only other trick is to use relative paths for CC/CPLUSPLUS/LD/LDPLUSPLUS so that the ccache compiler/linker symlinks will be used instead of the real underlying compiler/linker

Example of that but it's environment too so lots of ways to achieve it:
https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/blob/c26253c82f0a13f62608941d266a63071667cc16/package.json#L57

Hopefully that helps

Thanks, Mike! I will take a look at migrating the usage.
