  1. Clean the project
  2. Close the Xcode
  3. Delete derived data
  4. If you have
    already installed the POD, kindly delete the “.xcworkspace” &
    “Podfile.lock” files
  5. Install pod again – Doesn’t work

    Add to the Podfile: platform :ios, '10.0'

    I got the same error after updating rnfirebase to 11.3.3.
    I was able to solve the problem by removing ‘Firebase/Analytics’ dependency from the PodFile. i.e. by removing the following line from the Podfile:

    pod 'Firebase/Analytics'

    and then run pod install command.

    Just rename

    pod 'Firebase/Analytics'

    to

    pod 'FirebaseAnalytics'

    and run

    pod install

    This happened to me as well. I noticed that pod ‘Firebase/Analytics’ was installing an old version:

    Installing FirebaseAnalytics (3.4.2)

    Not sure why was that, but I fixed it by adding the version (the latest at the time this was written) in the pod:

    pod 'Firebase/Analytics', '8.1.0'

    Removing pod 'Firebase/Core' from the Podfile resolved the issue for me.

    In my case, the error started to happen after I switched to 'Firebase/AnalyticsWithoutAdIdSupport' from 'Firebase/Analytics'. I noticed the following happens during pod installation every time:

    Downloading dependencies
Installing Firebase 3.6.0 (was 8.1.0)
Installing Firebase 8.1.0

    So, somehow Firebase/Core causes the old Firebase to be installed as well. Therefore removing it solved the issue, because probably other Firebase dependencies depend on it anyway.

    This seems to be some sort of issue with Xcode 12.4, cocoapods 1.10.1, and Firebase/Database 8.1.1

    Today I just updated to Xcode 12.4 and cocoapods 1.10.1 and this problem came out of no where. I deleted derived data, did a pod deintegrate, pod clean, removed the Podfile, then reinstalled all of my original pods and the problem kept occurring. What I decided to do was just install 1 pod at a time. Eventually i installed all of my Firebase pods and when went to install my GeoFire pod I got the error:

    [!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "Firebase/Database":
  In snapshot (Podfile.lock):
    Firebase/Database (= 8.1.1)

  In Podfile:
    Firebase/Database

    GeoFire (from `https://github.com/firebase/geofire-objc.git`) was resolved to 4.2.0, which depends on
      GeoFire/Database (= 4.2.0) was resolved to 4.2.0, which depends on
        Firebase/Database (~> 7.0.0)

Specs satisfying the `Firebase/Database, Firebase/Database (= 8.1.1), Firebase/Database (~> 7.0.0)` dependency were found, but they required a higher minimum deployment target.

    The error pointed out that the current Firebase/Database I was using was 8.1.1 and GeoFire was incompatible with it. I don’t know what version I was using before today but I used the minimum version that it required pod 'Firebase/Database', '~> 7.0.0' and the problem went away. Here is my Podfile and the error is gone.

    platform :ios, '10.0' // this was @PaulBeusterien suggestion but it didn't work with Firebase/Database 8.1.1 
install! 'cocoapods', :deterministic_uuids => false

target 'MyApp' do
use_frameworks!

# Pods for MyApp

pod 'Firebase'
pod 'Firebase/Functions'
pod 'Firebase/Core'
pod 'Firebase/Storage'
pod 'Firebase/Auth'
pod 'Firebase/DynamicLinks'
pod 'Firebase/Messaging'
pod 'FirebaseAnalytics'
pod 'FirebaseCrashlytics'
pod 'Firebase/Installations'
pod 'Firebase/Database', '~> 7.0.0' // This was the fix for me

pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK'
pod 'PersonalizedAdConsent'

pod 'GoogleMaps'
pod 'GooglePlaces'
pod 'GeoFire', :git => 'https://github.com/firebase/geofire-objc.git'

pod 'GoogleSignIn'
pod 'GoogleAnalytics'

post_install do |installer|
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
        target.build_configurations.each do |config|
            config.build_settings['SWIFT_VERSION'] = ‘5.0’
        end
    end
end

    Just use these versions in pubsec.yaml

    firebase_auth: ^0.18.4+1
firebase_core: "0.5.3"
cloud_firestore:
firebase_messaging:

    after above dependency installation

    run the following commands

    rm -rf Podfile.lock
flutter clean
flutter pub get
cd ios
pod install

    the above method solved my problem.

    The same happened to me when upgrading from SDK v7 to v8. I figured out that replacing

    pod 'Firebase/Admob'

    with

    pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK'

    resolved the problem. The old Firebase 3.6.0 will then not anymore be loaded during pod update.

    But be aware that the Mobile Ads API did change slightly from SDK v7 to v8. You have to follow these instructions to adapt your code:

    Migrate Mobile Ads SDK v7 to v8

    I have faced the same problem. I fixed it by rename below pod names …

    pod 'Firebase/Analytics' -> pod 'FirebaseAnalytics'

    pod 'Google/SignIn' -> pod 'GoogleSignIn'

    For me the problem was to update to Firebase v8.x.x using the pod ‘Firebase/Admob’, then the GoogleUtilities missing file error appears. So I have replaced:

    pod 'Firebase/AdMob'

    with

    pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK', '~> 7.x'

    This allowed me to continue the build without errors and code changes, as the GoogleMobileAdSDK version 8 or 9 (January 2022) requires code migration, so this code migration is another post story.

    Remove:

    pod 'Firebase/Core'

    from your podfile and run pod install. It is deprecated and no longer needed.

    I was installing Firebase/Performance, and got this error. My was Firebase was set in the Podfile fixed to 8.5.0. After setting it to a higher version 8.11.0, the project compiled again.

    This is what works for me.

    pod 'Firebase'
pod 'FirebaseCore'
pod 'FirebaseCrashlytics'

pod 'FirebaseAnalytics', '8.1.0'
pod 'FirebaseMessaging'
pod 'FirebaseInstallations'

    That pod ‘FirebaseAnalytics’, ‘8.1.0’ is the most important there.

    Note: I am using Ventura and XCode 14.1

    For me, I needed to follow Paul Beusterien & Tinchetsu answers:

    Add at the top of the Podfile:

    platform :ios, '10.0'

    Specify max version for Firebase Analytics:

    pod 'Firebase/Analytics', '8.1.0'

    I was facing the same issue when I updated to Xcode 14.

    To fix the issue, open the podfile and replace

    pod 'Firebase/Analytics'

    with

    pod 'Firebase/Analytics', '~> 6.28.1’

    From what I understood, when I checked the podfile.lock, it was installing Firebase/Analytics (3.6.0) by default. By mentioning a newer version of Firebase/Analytics fixed my issue.

    and remember to pod deintegrated and pod install after you made the change in podfile. 😛
