Firebase SDK crashes using CocoaPods dependencies - [FBLPromise HTTPBody]: unrecognized selector sent to instance

[luisdelgado24]

[REQUIRED] Step 1: Describe your environment

• Xcode version: 13.2.1
• Firebase SDK version: FirebaseAuth (8.13.0), FirebaseUI (12.1.1)
• Installation method: CocoaPods
• Firebase Component: Auth
• Target platform(s): iOS

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe the problem

I've been following the instructions to add sign-in to my iOS app with FirebaseUI. I've already successfully added Firebase to my Xcode project, as well as added FirebaseUI to my Podfile and installed all the relevant pod dependencies. And lastly, I set up only the Google sign-in method, and added the respective handler for sign-in attempts within my AppDelegate.m. This is the only file where I have added code, so I'm not doing anything anywhere else. The issue is when I run my app, I'm crashing with a somewhat cryptic message [FBLPromise HTTPBody]: unrecognized selector sent to instance. I've seen other people having the same issue but no clear answer to what the solution is. I'm just trying to stand-up a basic view-controller with the Google sign-in option.

Relevant Code:

You can see my repo with all the files I have locally here

Below is what I have added in my AppDelegate.m, where the heavy-lifting is being done in the application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: API

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
    // Use Firebase library to configure APIs
    [FIRApp configure];
    [FIRMessaging messaging].delegate = self;
    
    FUIAuth *authUI = [FUIAuth defaultAuthUI];
    // You need to adopt a FUIAuthDelegate protocol to receive callback
    authUI.delegate = self;

    NSArray<id<FUIAuthProvider>> *providers = @[
      [[FUIGoogleAuth alloc] initWithAuthUI:authUI],
    ];
    authUI.providers = providers;
    
    return YES;
}

#pragma mark - FUIAuthDelegate

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)app
            openURL:(NSURL *)url
            options:(NSDictionary *)options {
  NSString *sourceApplication = options[UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsSourceApplicationKey];
  return [[FUIAuth defaultAuthUI] handleOpenURL:url sourceApplication:sourceApplication];
}

Thanks in advance for any insights!

@luisdelgado24 Sorry about the trouble. This might be an issue similar to #8536. Please take a look and if you're still stuck, share your Podfile and Podfile.lock.

Hi Paul,

I see how the issue is similar to #8536 in that I am getting the "Class foo is implemented in both X and Y. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined". But from what i see there, the conclusion is that it is problematic to link static frameworks into dynamic frameworks, and so the suggestion is to leverage use_frameworks! :linkage => :static in the podfile. I gave that a shot but I end up getting a linkage error because there are many duplicate symbols (below)

// long list of more duplicate symbols...

My online repo is https://github.com/luisdelgado24/Apartafit and the podfile is stored here . Any thoughts on what I could be doing wrong with my pod file?

[paulb777]

The GitHub project integrates Firebase with both CocoaPods and Swift Package Manager. Only one can be used.

I am also seeing a similar crash, I updated Firebase Crashlytics, Analytics, Performance, and RemoteConfig from 8.6.1 -> 8.13.0 *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:]: object cannot be nil'
