pod install failed for google_mlkit_translation when building for iOS

[ZakarY2HM6f]

error from CocaPods when flutter run, pod install or pod update

[!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "GoogleMLKit/Translate":
  In Podfile:
    google_mlkit_translation (from `.symlinks/plugins/google_mlkit_translation/ios`) was resolved to 0.11.0, which depends on
      GoogleMLKit/Translate (~> 6.0.0)

Specs satisfying the `GoogleMLKit/Translate (~> 6.0.0)` dependency were found, but they required a higher minimum deployment target.

already tried flutter clean, pod cache clean --all no matter how much i increase the deployment target (tried 17.0), the error doesn't do away.

github example builds successfully, but i cannot find the difference between that and my current project. please send help.

my Podfile:

# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, '12.0'

# CocoaPods analytics sends network stats synchronously affecting flutter build latency.
ENV['COCOAPODS_DISABLE_STATS'] = 'true'

using google_mlkit_commons: ^0.7.1 google_mlkit_text_recognition: ^0.13.0 google_mlkit_translation: ^0.11.0

when reverting to google_mlkit_commons: ^0.6.1 google_mlkit_text_recognition: ^0.11.0 google_mlkit_translation: ^0.9.0

everything works, so probably something wrong with the new version?

Set the following: platform :ios, '12.0'

to: platform :ios, '15.0'

Have you tried this: https://github.com/flutter-ml/google_ml_kit_flutter/blob/develop/packages/example/ios/Podfile#L1

it is in our example app, and also in the READMME

might need to add that OP does say this.

no matter how much i increase the deployment target (tried 17.0), the error doesn't do away.

I use platform :ios, '15.5' and got the same issue. I'm using Face Detection and got

google_mlkit_face_detection (from .symlinks/plugins/google_mlkit_face_detection/ios) was resolved to 0.11.0 which depend on GoogleMLKit/FaceDetection (-> 6.0.0)

Specs satisfying the `GoogleMLKit/FaceDetection(= 4.0.0, -> 4.0.0), GoogleMLKit/FaceDetection(-> 6.0.0)` dependency were found, but they required a higher minimum deployment target.

Edit : i found the fix. run pod update will fix the issue.
