Flutter Firebase Pubspec.yaml Update-- Getting [!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "Firebase/CoreOnly":

Question

After updating my pubspect yaml versions from

firebase_auth: ^1.0.1
firebase_core: ^1.0.2
cloud_firestore: ^1.0.3

to

firebase_auth: ^1.1.2
firebase_core: ^1.1.0
cloud_firestore: ^1.0.7

I'm getting the following output:

checking is only perfomed in repo update
    [!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "Firebase/CoreOnly":
      In snapshot (Podfile.lock):
        Firebase/CoreOnly (= 7.3.0)

      In Podfile:
        firebase_core (from `.symlinks/plugins/firebase_core/ios`) was resolved to 1.1.0, which depends on
          Firebase/CoreOnly (= 7.11.0)


    You have either:
     * out-of-date source repos which you can update with `pod repo update` or with `pod install --repo-update`.
     * changed the constraints of dependency `Firebase/CoreOnly` inside your development pod `firebase_core`.
       You should run `pod update Firebase/CoreOnly` to apply changes you've made.

After running 'pod init' inside iOS folder, I'm getting

[!] No Xcode project found, please specify one

and after running 'pod install' within the iOS folder also,

[!] No `Podfile' found in the project directory.

However. The Podfile DOES EXIST. [Please refer to the image attached][1]

Also, my Flutter Doctor is showing no errors.

Thanks, and all best, -A.V. [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/DR2kx.png

Hi! I fixed this issue by simply deleting the Podfile (inside the iOs package) and then running a mixture of the following commands INSIDE THE IOS packagge-- simply select this folder and type into the terminal the following: ' pod install ' , ' pod repo update' , and 'pod update' . This enabled my Pod to download the versions compatible with the FirebaseCore/ only packages. — Andrew Villegas, May 03 '21 at 14:01

the answer that worked for me on a similar issue is at https://stackoverflow.com/a/70029467/3120387

Go to /ios folder inside your Project.
Delete Podfile.lock (YourPoject/ios/Podfile.lock)
Delete Project.Workspace file.
Run pod install --repo-update (Make sure your cd into the iOS directory of the flutter app)
Run flutter clean
Once complete, rebuild your Flutter application: flutter run

The usual call for this error usually boils down to try calling pod repo update.

If this doesn't work, delete the Podfile.lock in the root directory and run pod install after.

For M1 Mac users, try the following:

Go to ios/Pods/Local Podspecs directory in your project

Check every json file to find highest required iOS version. Mine was "ios": "10.0" in some of them

Go back to ios/ directory

Open Podfile file

Uncomment # platform :ios, '9.0' and replace 9.0 with version from step 2. - for example 10.0.

Run sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi

Run arch -x86_64 pod repo update

Run arch -x86_64 pod install error should be gone

If using Flutter cd - back to your root directory - open iOS Simulator & run flutter run
