[!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "Firebase/CoreOnly":
  In snapshot (Podfile.lock):
    Firebase/CoreOnly (= 8.7.0)

  In Podfile:
    firebase_core (from `.symlinks/plugins/firebase_core/ios`) was resolved to 1.10.6, which depends on
      Firebase/CoreOnly (= 8.9.0)


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 * out-of-date source repos which you can update with `pod repo update` or with `pod install --repo-update`.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.

Well, basically your CocoaPods setup is going to break. You are going to have to manually delete any local copies of the Specs repository and re-clone the new version of the Specs repository. You can do that with the following below commands:

After a lot of solution applying, I found a way that has been successful in solving this error, it goes something like this

It can be solved by executing the following commands in the terminal.

Go to /ios folder inside your Project. Delete Podfile.lock (YourPoject/ios/Podfile.lock) For Intel chipusers

Run pod install --repo-update (Make sure your cd into the iOS directory of the flutter app) For M1 chip Users

install ffi first (if not) In regular terminal using command: sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi then arch -x86_64 pod install --repo-update

Run flutter clean

Once complete, rebuild your Flutter application: flutter run

I'm getting error during flutter run. Error has something to pod file. Does anyone know how to resolve?
