Flutter pod install error with 'cloud_firestore'

Question

I have a Mac with M1 chip. When I'm trying to debug a flutter project with 'cloud_firestore' package I'm getting this error bellow:

Error running pod install
Error launching application on iPhone 13.

I have tried:

1- Go to Podfile and changed "platform :ios, '8.0'" to 9.0 and 10.0

2- flutter clean > flutter pub get

3- I deleted pod and run pod install

4- Also run this commands:

arch -x86_64 pod update

arch -x86_64 pod install --repo-update

But still getting same error. Any help how to fix this?

Based on the error message: `Automatically assigning platform iOS with version 9.0`, it doesn't look like the Podfile is setting the version despite #1 — Paul Beusterien, Jan 15 '22 at 18:01
I'm not familiar with your issue but I found a similar question with [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/67636592/12512650), in the comments of that answer they shared [this guide](https://armen-mkrtchian.medium.com/run-cocoapods-on-apple-silicon-and-macos-big-sur-developer-transition-kit-b62acffc1387) some users commented that this fixed their issue. Please let me know if it helped. — Lluís Muñoz, Jan 17 '22 at 11:32

I solved the issue.

Problem was in 'main.dart'. I changed 'main' function from this:

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  await Firebase.initializeApp();
  runApp(MyApp());
}

to this:

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  await Firebase.initializeApp(
    options: DefaultFirebaseOptions.currentPlatform,
  );
  runApp(MyApp());
}

So, I think options parameter on Firebase.initializeApp() is required now. Adding options with FlutterFire CLI solved my problem. Also, here documentation for this: https://firebase.flutter.dev/docs/cli

How did you get access to DefaultFirebaseOptions? – ulukbek Mar 01 '22 at 09:57
It's from firebase_options.dart file. It is mentioned in the document I shared. – Emre Mar 02 '22 at 14:57

I found another solution that worked for me. I think the problem stems from the default cocoapods install, as instructed on the cocoapods front page, has some M1 incompatibilities with its FFI (foreign function interface).

Installing cocoapods via homebrew instead, ensures that you are getting an apple silicon compatible version.

These instructions worked for me.

But it boils down to uninstalling cocoapods and reinstalling it via homebrew:

brew install cocoapods

The newer versions of firebase requires some updating and this is what worked for me

updated firebase on pubspec to latest version then ran the following

firebase login

dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli

flutterfire configure

deleted outdated Podfile.lock file

rm ios/Podfile.lock

updated the Podfile

pod repo update

build the project

flutter build ios

try this combination:

remove .symlinks && /Pods && podfile.lock
pod deintegrate
pod repo update
pod install

Try run it!
