"But it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me."
Could you please explain "could have ever done" and give another example for using it to me?

Well, the phrase you quoted is actually "could have ever happened", but you can also use "could have ever done" this way: "Starting this business is the best thing I could have ever done." It means that out of all of the possible things I could have done at the time I started this business, starting a business turned out to be an excellent choice, because it has worked out very well.
