Bug report

CHECKLIST

• I have read the issue reporting guidelines

• I confirm this is a suspected bug or issue that will affect other users

• I have reproduced the issue using the example project or provided the necessary information to reproduce the issue.

• I have read the documentation thoroughly and it does not help solve my issue.

• I have checked that no similar issues (open or closed) already exist.

Current behavior:

I have a new laptop which came with macOS Monterey, when I checkout the cordova-plugin-firebasex-test project and try and run ios it fails to build with the follow message. I have tried with system Ruby an cocoapods and also brew based Ruby and cocoapods all result in the same issue. I suspect something is changed with the latest xcode simulator that stops it from working.

We get the same issue for our own project.

Hi, I tried adding as follows:

I then get this error - I also tried removing and adding the plugin again

Please try following steps:

• Try remove the Podfile.lock file and Pods folder.
• Run pod install.
• Try to build for a real device

Hey Husnain, I can successfully run the Archive for 'Any iOS Device' even without excluding the architectures. So I guess the problem is only with simulators. As soon as I switch back to a simulator I get the Firebase header compile issue.

[Husnain-Asharf]

You tried following steps ?

• Quit Xcode.
• Delete project's temp files located at ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
• Delete ProjectName.xcworkspace
• Delete Podfile.lock file and Pods folder
• Run pod repo update
• Run pod install.
• Open the newly created ProjectName.xcworkspace file and build.

Please share your pod file data.

Hey, I have tried all those step and I still get the header compile issue when trying to run on the simulator. Thanks for suggesting though. As a work around I'm testing directly to my phone rather than the simulator.

Yes, I am facing the same issue with simulators.

Also facing the issue.

Its seems the issue is with Google Sign in. Verison 5.0.2 is being bundled and that doesn't support M1. Google have updated to 'GoogleSignIn', '6.0.2' this does support M1. Investigating if this fixes the simulator issue.

[fabltd]

changing to GoogleSignIn', '6.0.2' in plugin XML fixes the arm error but adds a new error:

ordova-plugin-firebasex/AppDelegate+FirebasePlugin.h:7:65: error:
cannot find protocol declaration for 'GIDSignInDelegate'
@interface AppDelegate (FirebasePlugin) <UIApplicationDelegate, GIDSignInDelegate, ASAuthorizationControllerDelegate, ASAuthorizationControllerPresent...

Any one any ideas?
