Error: The pod "Firebase/CoreOnly" required by the plugin "firebase_auth"
requires a higher minimum macOS deployment version than the plugin's reported
minimum version.
To build, remove the plugin "firebase_auth", or contact the plugin's developers
for assistance.
Error: Error running pod install
```

The suggested solution is to remove `firebase_auth`, which is not really a solution; or to contact the developers.
