Update iOS Firebase SDK component version to v10.23.0, fixes crash on startup

[ben-kn-app]

Bug report

Current behavior:

There is a known ios-sdk-firebase bug see Github Issue Build with Xcode 15.3, run on iOS 17.4, 100% crash on launch: pb_enc_bool EXC_BAD_ACCESS (KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS) which is solved by the official firebase ios sdk in version 10.23.0

Could this plugin be updated to use this new firebase ios sdk component?

Expected behavior:

crash on launch: pb_enc_bool

Steps to reproduce:

Follow the steps in the above github issue

This would most probably also fix issue https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-plugin-firebasex/issues/860

There is already an open PR that bumps the ios firebase sdk to 10.22.0, which already addresses FirebaseSessions crash on startup https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-plugin-firebasex/pull/878

any idea why setting "IOS_FIREBASE_SDK_VERSION": "10.23.0" in package.json gives an error in build? According to documentation, this should update firebase sdk. Manually updating plugin.xml seems to work.

The following Cordova plugin variables are supported by the plugin. Note that these must be set at plugin installation time. If you wish to change plugin variables, you'll need to uninstall the plugin and reinstall it with the new variable values.

Basically the one in package.json just represents the version that is installed and if you try to change it manually afterwards, it won't do anything.

You have to either specify the version beforehand, or you can use my fork, which has the plugin.xml updated to the latest version (at least for iOS)

Just wanted to echo that I was able to fix this by going into ~/plugins/cordova-plugin-firebasex/plugins.xml and manually incrementing the version to the latest for the Firebase-related plugins. Testing seems to indicate this works fine - no more crashing on startup and push notifications seem to send without any other amendments necessary.

Resolved by release of cordova-plugin-firebasex@16.5.0

For those who still has problem with 16.5.0 and adhoc release build, just add empty .swift file in the root of your project.
