Describe the problem

Steps to reproduce:

I'm trying to install the Firebase Analytics pod into my project using Cocoapods. After successfully running pod install and then building my project I get the build error unable to spawn process (Argument list too long).

From my understanding this error has to do with the header search path arguments being too long. When I set my workspace to use the legacy build system the project builds just fine. I however, only want to use the new build system.

It seems to fail when running the shell script "Check Pods Manifest.lock" step of the build process.

PhaseScriptExecution [CP]\ Check\ Pods\ Manifest.lock /Users/xxx/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/xxx/Build/Intermediates.noindex/xxx.build/Debug\ (Staging)-iphonesimulator/OV.build/Script-05BB3CCD2FBD4842F78B0F4F.sh (in target 'xxx' from project 'xxx')
    cd /Users/xxx/Documents/Projects/ov-ios
    /bin/sh -c /Users/xxx/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/xxx/Build/Intermediates.noindex/xxx.build/Debug\\\ \\\(Staging\\\)-iphonesimulator/xxx.build/Script-05BB3CCD2FBD4842F78B0F4F.sh

error: unable to spawn process (Argument list too long) (in target 'xxx' from project 'xxx')

This doesn't seem to be a Firebase issue and based on discussion at CocoaPods/CocoaPods#8257, it seems that moving or restructuring the project might be the only current approach.

Does removing the cocoapods-keys plugin make a difference?

Many ideas at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53226087/error-unable-to-spawn-process-argument-list-too-long-in-xcode-build.

Going to close the issue here since the CocoaPods and stackoverflow communities are likely better places to sort this one out.

@paulb777 removed Cocoapods-keys didn't make a difference. Already have gone through what's on stack overflow so that's why I came here. Thanks for your help!
