'FirebaseFirestore' not found

[burtsevyg]

I get import error:

In file included from .../platforms/ios/Runner/Plugins/cordova-plugin-firebasex/FirebasePlugin.m:1:
.../platforms/ios/Runner/Plugins/cordova-plugin-firebasex/FirebasePlugin.h:4:9: fatal error: module 'FirebaseFirestore' not found

I found in: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dpa99c/cordova-plugin-firebasex/master/plugin.xml this line:

...
<pod name="FirebaseFirestore" git="https://github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks.git" tag="6.33.0"/>
...

but there are 7.X versions in: https://github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks/tags

I think we need to update Firebase plugins version in plugin.xml

I am running into the same issue. Just updated from 8.0.1 to 11.0.3-cli for the first time (as there have been lots of reports of problems with the 9.x and version of firebasex that kept us on 8.0.1). I am running into the same issue with FirebaseFirestore not being found.

FWIW, I checked my pod dependencies, and FirebaseFirestore is indeed listed (FirebaseFirestore (1.16.2)):

I solved this issue, change project name to all alphabet words , then build success.

How to change project name?

It does not help in my configuration.

[seanamph]

Try Cd /platforms/ios Pod update

[burtsevyg]

I have it in my script:

...
cordova platform add ios

cat <<EOT >> ./platforms/ios/Podfile

post_install do |installer|
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
        target.build_configurations.each do |config|
                config.build_settings.delete 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'
        end
    end
end

EOT

cd platforms/ios

rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/CocoaPods
rm -rf Pods
rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/*
pod deintegrate
pod setup
pod repo update --verbose
pod install --verbose
cd ../..
cordova build ios --release
...

Now I'm trying this dependency with updated firebase dependencies: "cordova-plugin-firebasex": "github:burtsevyg/cordova-plugin-firebasex#cli_build",

[burtsevyg]

This is my changes: https://github.com/burtsevyg/cordova-plugin-firebasex/commit/7184ea691341c70e801a822623294b507daed025

[burtsevyg]

For build www and android I use docker.io/cirrusci/flutter:stable. Then copy files to mac book pro in gitlab ci. I fixed build upgrade gradle from version 4 (default for ubuntu 20.04) to 6.5

[vvarda]

Yep, it's everything about updating name tag in config.xml -- Latin only. For another cases use localisation plugin.

The reason may be defferent in my case it was ionic keybord plugin configuration. If I remove it build failed.

package.json

...
"cordova": {
        "plugins": {
...
            "cordova-custom-config": {},
            "cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard": {}
}
...
}
...

it is very strange but it work...

@burtsevyg could you solve it in the end ? I'm struggling to have my app building properly on XCode 12.5

[burtsevyg]

I don't use "cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard": {} but I need it configuration declaration in my package.json. I don't understand why. My build is Ok, now.

[tsimbalar]

ok, that sounds ... mysterious 😱

We do use the keyboard package and have it in package.json so, not sure this is the actual problem we have.

Thanks anyway 👍

Just skip cordova and choose another technology. Maybe flutter...

[laurentperez]

hello. does anyone have a proper fix ? does not work on XCode 12.5. the Flutter comment is not really productive.

[norcle]

downgrade to ionic cordova platform add ios@5.0.0

and remove everything about firebase, keyboard helps

I also have non alphabet chars in the project name. I noticed that in Project settings -> "General" -> "Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content", there is a dependency to non-existent "Pods_.framework", I had to remove it, and add "Pods" back.

It must be some processor of the dependency made a mistake.
