Question posted in 
I’m trying to install FirebaseFirestore via CocoaPods in my iOS project, but I’m encountering an error.
cd ios
pod install
But I get the following error:
Analyzing dependencies

Retry the Installation:
Run the pod install command again. Sometimes, network issues can be temporary, and a retry might succeed.
Use HTTPS Instead of SSH:
In your Podfile, change the source URL from SSH to HTTPS. Modify the line for the Firebase pod in your Podfile to look like this:
pod ‘FirebaseFirestore’, :git => ‘https://github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks.git’, :tag => ‘8.9.0’
Update CocoaPods:
Make sure you have the latest version of CocoaPods installed.
You can update it using:
sudo gem install cocoapods
Clear CocoaPods Cache:
Clear the CocoaPods cache and try installing again:
pod cache clean –all
After that
pod install
GitHub Rate Limit:
GitHub has rate limits for unauthenticated requests. If you are hitting these limits, consider authenticating with GitHub using a personal access token. You can create one in your GitHub account settings and use it in your Podfile:
pod ‘FirebaseFirestore’, :git => ‘https://@github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks.git’, :tag => ‘8.9.0’
After trying these steps, attempt to run pod install again and see if the issue persists. If the problem continues, there might be an issue with the GitHub repository itself, and you may need to check the repository status or contact the repository maintainers for assistance.
I encountered the same issue, at first I thought it was the Firestore SDK size issue in iOS which should be resolved with
https://github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks.git.Turns out it was caused by some DNS issue? After I used the Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 DNS then it solved the issue for me.
