Same problem here, no solution.... – Tryst

I didn’t find any fix for the above said issue, but downgrading the flutter to old which dart 1 and cloud_firestore 7.4 will avoid these problems. But pop ups some other.. like this one ‘ atal error: 'GoogleUtilities/GULAppEnvironmentUtil.h' file not found #import <GoogleUtilities/GULAppEnvironmentUtil.h> ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ‘ – Snoop

Answer 1

My setup: VS Code, Flutter

If you don't have Podfile.lock file and pod update doesn't help, try this:

1. Go to ios/Pods/Local Podspecs directory in your project
2. Check every json file to find highest required ios version. Mine was "ios": "10.0" in some of them
3. Go back to ios/ directory
4. Open Podfile file
5. Uncomment # platform :ios, '9.0' and replace 9.0 with version from 2. step, for example 10.0.
   • # platform :ios, '9.0' > platform :ios, '10.0'
6. Run pod install and the error should be gone

Epstein

Yeah I did this too, worked. I think the flutterfire team needs to fix their dang dependencies – Atheist

agree @ShazamoMorebucks this is very cumbersome, I believe tech lead's comments on YouTube regarding Flutter have a lot of merit. I don't see Flutter as a long term solution as its fundamentally broken with so many issues that are never fixed. – Fastigiate

It's important not forgetting to uncomment the # platform :ios, '9.0' line as it is commented by default and one may not see that immediately. – Partner

This works for me, but I just need to uncomment the platform on podfile one, and increase the minimum platform to 11.0 no need to go into each local podspecs. – Blowy

To get the version numbers out of all the json files, run this command: find ios/Pods/Local\ Podspecs/ -name \*.json -exec jq -r '.platforms.ios' {} \; | sort -un – Sahib

CMD+Shift+F and write platforms": { and scroll between all targets in your dir – Petropavlovsk

Solved it for me too. Interestingly, this was working fine on another computer but I only hit this issue after moving the project to a new computer. – Branch

Only the pod update worked for me. Thanks! – Reest

Answer 2

pod update

Should do the trick.

Procedure

I get this error: Analyzing dependencies [!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod – Gelb

This will update all your pods though, which you might not want. I think Random Code Money's solution is better. Basically clear the Cocoapod cache from the project and reinstall. – Haircut

Just to clarify. If using Android Studio --> Press Terminal --> cd ios --> pod update – Dillard

for newbies (me): if using vs code's terminal, change directory to 'ios' (cd ios) and then 'pod update' – Longobard

what about m2 user? – Scythe

This worked = arch -x86_64 pod update – Fuel

Answer 3

On mac M1 (in ios folder), try arch -x86_64 pod update. Worked for me

Tristan

Platform : ios , '14.0' and arch -x86_64 pod update <- Worked like a charm! – Padget

Answer 4

I got a similar error:

Specs satisfying the `firebase_auth (from `.symlinks/plugins/firebase_auth/ios`)` dependency were found, but they required a higher minimum deployment target.

---

What did not work for me:

As per the other answers, I went to the Podfile & updated:

• from: # platform :ios, '9.0'
• to: platform :ios, '13.0'

Then tried flutter run again but this time it was stuck at:

Running Xcode build....

The wait was unnatural & my patience grew thin so I discarded this change & looked for another solution.

---

Finally, What worked for me:

1. flutter clean
2. flutter pub get
3. flutter run

No need to modify Podfile to specify a minimum ios target 🎉

Subshrub

Based on your answer, I tried the flutter clean version first. It did nothing. So I tried the Podfile version, and yes, the wait was unbearable!... But I went and had supper, and when I came back, I found that after 4,000 and something seconds, the project had built! 🙂 – Sweetandsour

Oh... and the next time I built the project, it took 70 seconds. 😉 – Sweetandsour

Answer 5

I have a similar issue. Set Project, Target and Podfile to iOS 12 and get failure.

Here's my Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '12.0'
use_frameworks!

abstract_target 'all_pods' do
    pod 'Alamofire'
    pod 'AlamofireImage'
    pod 'AlamofireNetworkActivityIndicator'
    pod 'Atributika'
    pod 'AXPhotoViewer'
    pod 'Cache'
    pod 'Crashlytics'
    pod 'Fabric'
    pod 'Firebase/Core'
    pod 'Firebase/Messaging'
    pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK'
    pod 'GTMNSStringHTMLAdditions'
    pod 'KVLoading'
    pod 'MGSwipeTableCell'
    pod 'ReachabilitySwift'
    pod 'SDCAlertView'
    pod 'SideMenuSwift'
    pod 'SwiftyJSON'
    pod 'SwiftyUserDefaults'
    pod 'UIImageViewAlignedSwift'

target 'Test Poject' do
#    all_pods
end

end

First deintegrate to be sure

pod deintegrate

Run forced repo update

pod install --repo-update

Update I got this to work by adding this line to my Podfile: pod 'Firebase', '~> 5.7' – Evelyn

Answer 6

if you are running on Mac M1 (apple silicone chip) , try run this command :

arch -x86_64 pod install --repo-update 

Atchley

Answer 7

For Mac with M1 chip (2022) :

What did the trick :

• Change platform :ios, '9.0' to platform :ios, '11.0' in your Podfile file in <project>/ios/
• Then update as follow : arch -x86_64 pod install --repo-update in your terminal (<project>/ios/)

All the dependencies and pods will be installed !

Enjoy !

Answer 8

I had the same issue but this helped me.

pod 'Firebase/Core', '>= 0'
pod 'FirebaseCrashlytics', '>= 0'

It will update both FirebaseCore and FirebaseCrashlytics to the latest versions

Ursal

Answer 9

just on pod file UnComment

# platform :ios, '9.0'

and replease it with platform :ios, '10.0'

then delete Podfile.lock and reInstall your app

Hearsay

Yes! it worked. It saved lots of time for me – Alegar

I had to realize couple of steps more. Here is the answer which I'm referring: https://mcmap.net/q/131024/-flutter-cocoapods-could-not-find-compatible-versions-for-pod-quot-firebasecore-quot – Geraldo

Answer 10

These 3 steps worked for me.

1. Upgrade cocoapods to latest version:

   sudo gem install cocoapods

2. Delete /Pods folder and Podfile.lock file

3. Run pod repo update

Ascites

Answer 11

I had to update in Podfile.
pod 'FirebaseFirestore', :git => 'https://github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks.git', :tag => '8.0.0'.
to new version.
pod 'FirebaseFirestore', :git => 'https://github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks.git', :tag => '8.9.1'

Answer 12

For Those who have an Apple Mac with M1 chip :

-> try this sequence hope you see... pods are installing.

1. sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi
2. arch -x86_64 pod install or 
arch -x86_64 pod update
 or arch -x86_64 pod install --repo-update

Answer 13

This issue is coming from following line added to pod file. Alway make sure the tag is updated to the correct version here. Default version in the firebase documents are at times aged and should be updated to current version by checking it.

pod 'FirebaseFirestore', :git => 'https://github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks.git', :tag => '7.11.0'

Read more on this from here.

Answer 14

I had this issue:

To fix the problem, I opened the Podfile. Then

1. I uncommented platform: ios, '8.0' and replaced it by platform :ios, '10.0', as mentioned in the other answers.

2. I replaced the following code:

target 'Runner' do
  pod 'FirebaseFirestore', :git => 'https://github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks.git', :tag => '8.3.0'
  use_frameworks!
  use_modular_headers!
  
  flutter_install_all_ios_pods File.dirname(File.realpath(__FILE__))
end

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
  end
end

With this code:

target 'Runner' do
  use_frameworks!
  use_modular_headers!

  flutter_install_all_ios_pods File.dirname(File.realpath(__FILE__))
  pod 'Firebase/Core'
  pod 'Firebase/Crashlytics'
  pod 'Firebase/Analytics'
end

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '10.0'
      config.build_settings['EXPANDED_CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY'] = ""
      config.build_settings['CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED'] = "NO"
      config.build_settings['CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED'] = "NO"
    end
  end
end

3. In Terminal, I ran the following command in the ios folder.

$ pod install

Everything went well. I didn't see any issue but a lot of green logs which basically are related to Installing FirebaseX... and at the end I got this message:

Pod installation complete! There are 8 dependencies from the Podfile and 24 total pods installed.

Leitman

Answer 15

To fix the problem (Intelli J)

1. Check in IOS flutter folder Podfile.lock is generated.

2. Run 'flutter doctor -v' to identify version of the Flutter,Dart,Xcode and CocoaPods version.

3. Incase cocoa pods are not found, follow install commands.

   sudo gem uninstall cocoapods brew uninstall cocoapods

   sudo gem install cocoapods pod setup

4. In Podfile - Uncommented platform: ios, '9.0' and replaced it by platform :ios, '10.0'.

5. Run the build

   Launching lib/main.dart on iPhone 12 Pro Max in debug mode... Running pod install... Running Xcode build... Xcode build done.

Answer 16

I have solved this problem just by updating the platform version from the profile:

Go to iOS / Podfile:

Open Podfile

Uncomment the platform version:

# platform :ios, '9.0'  //Uncomment this line

To this:

platform :ios, '10.0'  //Uncomment & make version '9.0' to '10.0'

Boom !!! Solve the problem.

Answer 17

I had a similar issue with firebase Admob and my problem was that I was using both admob_flutter and firebase_admob packages. Once I removed the admob_flutter package from pubspec.yaml and everything works perfectly!

Postiche

Answer 18

For me worked this:

1. go to file %project%/ios/.symlinks/plugins/firebase_core/ios/firebase_sdk_version.rb
2. change this def firebase_sdk_version!() '8.7.0' end for def firebase_sdk_version!() '8.5.0' end
3. run pod install

Answer 19

There are two problems at the same time here. Cant update cocoa pods because of firebase dep. and can't update because of minimum deployment target.

Do:

• pod reintegrate
• uncomment the second line in pod file and elevate te platform: iOS to 11.0
• pod update

that's the trick

Sloven

Could you plz be more specific! Where do I find this "pod file"? – Sweetandsour

Sure. You can find it in Folder: IOS/podfile. This is a autogenerated file by the system with the dependencies you put in pubspec.yaml. Thats why sometimes we need to adjust it – Sloven

Answer 20

For me, the solution was:

1. Bump NodeJS version from 16.0.0 to 16.5.1. To do so quickly, I'm using NVM.
2. Install the Firebase CLI running npm install -g firebase-tools. Firebase CLI docs. My version is [email protected]. If you have more packages, use npm list -g to list them, and then install them in the new NodeJS version.
3. Run firebase login locally access your Firebase Console.
4. [In your Flutter app's folder root] Run flutter clean & flutter pub get.
5. Add Firebase Core (pub.dev) to your app and others Firebase's libraries.
6. Run flutterfire configure to set up the connection between your app and Firebase.
7. Initialize Firebase: steps
8. Run your app.

PS. According to https://pub.dev/packages/firebase_core/versions, the min Dart is 2.16. Maybe you need to change it on your pubspec.yaml

Answer 21

In my case I had to delete .symlinks, Podfile.lock, Podfile and start the Android Studio.

Homopolar

Answer 22

Try this:

1. Navigate to your ios folder (inside your flutter project).
2. Then navigate to Pods/Local Podspecs/
3. Then run this command: grep -rn "ios" *json.
4. Remember the higher ios version.
5. Navigate to PodFile in the ios directory of your project and make sure that this line appears: platform :ios, '<the higher ios version from step 3>'

Answer 23

1. Remove iOS/podlock
2. pod install

Gem

Answer 24

Just go to project's ios directory and run following command:

arch -x86_64 pod update

Note: It has been worked for me on MacOS M1, 2020 (apple silicone chip).

Answer 25

If there is no solution, it may mean that you are working in a closed environment. And your company's inner jfrog pods may not contain that version.

Sketchy

Answer 26

For me the fix was to remove pub-cache folder in addition to podfile.lock which was mentioned before.

In finder app use the GO menu to go home.

Next, press SHIFT + COMMAND+ . (full stop key). This is to show hidden folders.

Finally, delete .pub-cache folder.

After this run the original command again: pod install --repo-update

Answer 27

#To your Podfile, add the Firebase pods that you want to use in your app.

platform :ios, ‘10.0’

# Add the Firebase pod for Google Analytics
pod 'Firebase/Analytics'

# For Analytics without IDFA collection capability, use this pod instead
# pod ‘Firebase/AnalyticsWithoutAdIdSupport’

# Add the pods for any other Firebase products you want to use in your app
# For example, to use Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore
pod 'Firebase/Auth'
pod 'Firebase/Firestore'
