Transfer to Apple M1 Xcode shows an error "'FirebaseCore/FirebaseCore.h' file not found" and "Could not build Objective-C module 'Firebase'"

Question

There is a fairly common problem in my Xcode project. I'm using Firebase and project perfectly works with Xcode 11 on Intel i5, but with Xcode 13 (Swift 5) on Apple M1 there are 2 dramatic errors:

'FirebaseCore/FirebaseCore.h' file not found

Could not build Objective-C module 'Firebase'

My Pods:

So, what I tried:

Quite xcode Delete "ProjectName.xcworkspace", "Podfile.lock" and "Pods". Delete project's temp files located at ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData (Command + Shift + G in finder) Run "pod install" from terminal. Open "ProjectName.xcworkspace".

Error: Could not build Objective-C module 'Firebase' with Swift 5

Adding arm64 to Excluded Architectures for the main project AND for the Pods project

Xcode 12: build Error on FIRAnalyticsConnector

And many other options. But neither one is suitable for me. What should I try?

@PaulBeusterien thanx, but doesn't work. How do you think, is it possible that this problem exists because I used Migration Assistant for new macbook M1? — Stanislav Putilov, Nov 13 '21 at 14:40

My friend tried this. Add this to the end of the podfile and re-install cocoapods. Took me and the team hours, but we eventually figured this out.

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.build_configurations.each do |config|
    config.build_settings["EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]"] = "arm64"
  end
end

thanx, tell me please how correctly re-install cocoapods with M1? – Stanislav Putilov Nov 14 '21 at 08:21
@StanislavPutilov There are many ways to do this the way I'm doing is: 1. Delete .workspace file. 2. Delete Pods folder. 3. Delete podfile.lock and run pod install – Liang Yan Nov 15 '21 at 15:40

How do you "open the terminal with Rosetta"? – John Pitts Jul 08 '22 at 21:51
You may need to use the Terminal prefix arch -x86_64 before these commans, such as "-x86_64 pod deintegrate". Also, it looks like 'clean' is no longer a pod command. – John Pitts Jul 08 '22 at 22:43

I had the same issue when transferring Xcode to M1 pro Mac. Though, none of the answers above was not working for me, I found out that my googleService.info plist was, for some reason, never transferred to the new Mac. I download it from firebase console and it started to work. Hoping this might be help someone.
