Builds successfully for Android, but fails for iOS: firebase_performance 0.10.0-8 does not play nice with firebase_core

[oneForCode]

If you are looking for help, please confirm the following...

• I confirm I have searched the Docs, Codemagic Sample Projects, and GitHub Discussions.
• I confirm the software versions on my local computer match the ones in CI environment (e.g. Xcode version, Gradle version). See here
• I confirm I am able to do a fresh clone of the repository and build the project on my local computer.

Which mobile framework are you using?

Flutter (Dart)

Steps to reproduce

Since the FlutterFlow dependency update I exported the code and tired to build for Android and iOS, same as I always did.

Expected results

It used to build fine for both iOS and Android. But since dependency update only Android builds successfully;

Actual results

Hello @oneForCode,
From the error messages in your logs, there are version mismatches/conflicts in your Podfile and Podfile.lock file for the Firebase/CoreOnly, Firebase/Performance and GoogleMLKit/BarcodeScanning plugins.
Please add this below script in the Pre-build section of your Workflow UI, it should remove and automatically generate a new podfile for you.

​cd ios
rm Podfile.lock
rm -rf Pods
pod install

And re-run the build, let us know how it goes.

[oneForCode]

Thank you so much for your reply @dam-ease!

I tried it. Build ID: 671f82a88b5d0298fce32015

which makes sense because my ios folder does not have Podfile.lock

Any other suggestions? Thank you again!

[dam-ease]

Hey @oneForCode.
Please run flutter create . locally to generate the missing file, push the updated code and try starting a new build. This should work!

[oneForCode]

Thanks @dam-ease!

Same result.

Thanks for your help!

Hello @oneForCode,
Do you have the podfile.lock in your directory now?
You can add below script to your pre-build script instead:

​find . -name "Podfile" -execdir pod update \;

Also there is a solution to this in this SO thread - https://stackoverflow.com/a/65808257/11718149, this will help resolve this as well.

[oneForCode]

Hello @dam-ease,

Thanks for your response.

I do have podfile.lock now, because I did flutter create . locally, and then checked it in.

I did run ​find . -name "Podfile" -execdir pod install \; as pre-build script as you suggested

and get the same error:

[!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "FirebaseCore":
  In Podfile:
    firebase_core (from `.symlinks/plugins/firebase_core/ios`) was resolved to 3.6.0, which depends on
      Firebase/CoreOnly (= 11.2.0) was resolved to 11.2.0, which depends on
        FirebaseCore (= 11.2.0)

    firebase_performance (from `.symlinks/plugins/firebase_performance/ios`) was resolved to 0.10.0-8, which depends on
      Firebase/Performance (= 11.2.0) was resolved to 11.2.0, which depends on
        FirebasePerformance (~> 11.2.0) was resolved to 11.2.0, which depends on
          FirebaseCore (~> 11.0)

What I don't understand, given that:

FirebasePerformance (~> 11.2.0) was resolved to 11.2.0, which depends on
FirebaseCore (~> 11.0)

the problem seems to be that correct version of FirebasePerformance depends on incorrect version of FirebaseCore.

How does pre-building it helps, since Codemagic is already building it?

Isn't the problem in firebase_performance library itself?

Thanks!

Hey @oneForCode,
Yes, you are right with problem!
If you run pod install locally on your machine, you should be able to reproduce this issue as well.

The idea of running find . -name "Podfile" -execdir pod update \; here is to update the versions of these packages to the latest compatible versions such that the compatibility issue is resolved.
Please note that this can also be done manually by adjusting the versions of the packages in the podfile.lock file.

On my end, adding the latest versions of firebase_performance and firebase_core packages does't give any issues. Are you making use of the latest versions as well? Please can you share your pubspec.yaml file as well as the generated podfile.lock here, so I can try reproducing on my end as well?

@dam-ease, Thank you so much for you help.

The problem is solved.
The problem was that in Podfile FlutterFlow was using the firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks binary distribution while also having the regular Firebase pods installed. This caused conflicts.

I modified the Podfile as follows:

# Add this line at the top
$FirebaseSDKVersion = '11.2.0'

# Add these lines before flutter_install_all_ios_pods
pod 'Firebase', :modular_headers => true
pod 'FirebaseCore', :modular_headers => true
pod 'GoogleUtilities', :modular_headers => true

# changing:
pod 'FirebaseFirestore', :git => 'https://github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks.git', :tag => '11.2.0'
to
pod 'FirebaseFirestore', :git => 'https://github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks.git', :branch => "11.2.0"

Thanks again for your kind help! All the best to you!
