Plugin Version

5.0.0

Using cordova cli 9.0.0

Try upgrading pod to version 1.7.2 by running:

sudo gem install cocoapods

[sagrawal31]

Use v5.1.0 to make it work. Make sure you have at least 1.5.0 of Cocoapod. Please reopen the issue if you are still getting an error due to this plugin.

Thank you! It's still not working (build with Azure Devops) with the same error. I have another cordova plugin with pods in it (pods installing via cordova) and that's working without problems. Btw, you guys doing a great job to maintain the firebase cordova lib - 1000 thumbs up!

I will try it in around three weeks on my personal mac

Currently seeing this build error as well running
pod --version 1.7.2
cordova --version 9.0
iOS 5.0.1

[Birowsky]

Same here.
pod --version 1.7.3
cordova -v 9.0.0 (cordova-lib@9.0.1)
ios 5.0.1

I'm up for a remote session if you think it'd help. Hit me up anytime.

[sagrawal31]

@willmero @Birowsky which version of this plugin you guys are using?

[Birowsky]

I’m at 5.1.0

After some research, I ran pod setup --verbose before cordova platform add ios@5.0.1, and the platform got successfully added. However, it had this warning:

[!] The мојЧоек [Release] target overrides the LD_RUNPATH_SEARCH_PATHS build setting defined in `Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-мојЧоек/Pods-мојЧоек.release.xcconfig'. This can lead to problems with the CocoaPods installation

• Use the $(inherited) flag, or
• Remove the build settings from the target.

I believe that's coming from the build.json config, documented here.

After that, I tried cordova build ios --verbose --stacktrace, and got an error:

[sagrawal31]

Can you provide me a repo reproducing this?

[Birowsky]

@sagrawal31 no, it's a private repo.

[sagrawal31]

@Birowsky I wanted to say that can you create one blank cordova app, add different plugins which are using and share that repository

[l3ender]

Regarding the error for Failed to install 'cordova-plugin-firebase-lib': Error: pod: Command failed with exit code 31, I was getting the same until I ran pod repo update.

I am seeing the same warning about LD_RUNPATH_SEARCH_PATHS, but am able to build successfully. In our scenario, I believe that option is coming from cordova-plugin-add-swift-support.
