I’ve followed the following tutorial to add Firebase to our iOS App https://rnfirebase.io/#3-ios-setup, however I keep getting the following error
Cannot convert value of type ‘UnsafeRawPointer’ to expected argument type ‘UnsafePointer<pb_byte_t>?’ (aka ‘Optional<UnsafePointer>’)
This is my Pod file
require_relative '../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules'
platform :ios, min_ios_version_supported
prepare_react_native_project!
# If you are using a `react-native-flipper` your iOS build will fail when `NO_FLIPPER=1` is set.
# because `react-native-flipper` depends on (FlipperKit,...) that will be excluded
#
# To fix this you can also exclude `react-native-flipper` using a `react-native.config.js`
# ```js
# module.exports = {
# dependencies: {
# ...(process.env.NO_FLIPPER ? { 'react-native-flipper': { platforms: { ios: null } } } : {}),
# ```
flipper_config = ENV['NO_FLIPPER'] == "1" ? FlipperConfiguration.disabled : FlipperConfiguration.enabled
linkage = ENV['USE_FRAMEWORKS']
if linkage != nil
Pod::UI.puts "Configuring Pod with #{linkage}ally linked Frameworks".green
use_frameworks! :linkage => linkage.to_sym
end
target 'stllrmobile' do
config = use_native_modules!
use_frameworks! :linkage => :static
#$RNFirebaseAsStaticFramework = true
# Flags change depending on the env values.
flags = get_default_flags()
use_react_native!(
:path => config[:reactNativePath],
# Hermes is now enabled by default. Disable by setting this flag to false.
# Upcoming versions of React Native may rely on get_default_flags(), but
# we make it explicit here to aid in the React Native upgrade process.
:hermes_enabled => flags[:hermes_enabled],
:fabric_enabled => flags[:fabric_enabled],
# Enables Flipper.
#
# Note that if you have use_frameworks! enabled, Flipper will not work and
# you should disable the next line.
#:flipper_configuration => flipper_config,
# An absolute path to your application root.
:app_path => "#{Pod::Config.instance.installation_root}/.."
)
target 'stllrmobileTests' do
inherit! :complete
# Pods for testing
end
post_install do |installer|
react_native_post_install(
installer,
# Set `mac_catalyst_enabled` to `true` in order to apply patches
# necessary for Mac Catalyst builds
:mac_catalyst_enabled => false
)
__apply_Xcode_12_5_M1_post_install_workaround(installer)
end
end
And this is the code line generating the error in SessionStartEvent.swift
func encodeDecodeEvent() -> firebase_appquality_sessions_SessionEvent {
let transportBytes = self.transportBytes()
var proto = firebase_appquality_sessions_SessionEvent()
var fields = firebase_appquality_sessions_SessionEvent_fields
let bytes = (transportBytes as NSData).bytes
var istream: pb_istream_t = pb_istream_from_buffer(bytes, transportBytes.count)
if !pb_decode(&istream, &fields.0, &proto) {
let errorMessage = FIRSESPBGetError(istream)
if errorMessage.count > 0 {
Logger.logError("Session Event failed to decode transportBytes: (errorMessage)")
}
}
return proto
}
This is the line causing the error:
var istream: pb_istream_t = pb_istream_from_buffer(bytes, transportBytes.count)
Cannot convert value of type ‘UnsafeRawPointer’ to expected argument type ‘UnsafePointer<pb_byte_t>?’ (aka ‘Optional<UnsafePointer>’)

I’ve upgraded from 10.3 to 10.6 and I’m hitting the same error as you with Unity build. Not sure how to fix it quite yet.
Edit:
I have modified this function a bit, given that it looks like it’s not supposedly used in actual production code. With this change the code compiles and seems to be running fine:
Please note I have no idea if this cast for bytes_pt here is correct, as I’m not familiar with Swift.
Firebase 9.x and 10.x require at least Xcode 13.3.1. See the release notes for additional detail.
