Unable to run project ton iOS. CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "Firebase/CoreOnly"

[itdevpel]

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a Flutter project with Flutter version: 3.24.5
2. Add the following dependencies:

dependencies:
  firebase_core: ^3.0.0
  firebase_messaging: ^15.0.1
  mobile_scanner: ^5.1.1

3. Run project on iPhone 16 Pro Max Simulator

Other info:

❗️ Earlier, when I was on macOS Sonoma, and Xcode 15, everything was working fine.

My MacOs version:

Sequoia 15.4.1 (24E263)

My Xcode version:

16.3 (16E140)

My cocoapods version:

1.16.2

My Podfile:

# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, '14.0'

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

project 'Runner', {
  'Debug' => :debug,
  'Profile' => :release,
  'Release' => :release,
}

def flutter_root
  generated_xcode_build_settings_path = File.expand_path(File.join('..', 'Flutter', 'Generated.xcconfig'), __FILE__)
  unless File.exist?(generated_xcode_build_settings_path)
    raise "#{generated_xcode_build_settings_path} must exist. If you're running pod install manually, make sure flutter pub get is executed first"
  end

  File.foreach(generated_xcode_build_settings_path) do |line|
    matches = line.match(/FLUTTER_ROOT\=(.*)/)
    return matches[1].strip if matches
  end
  raise "FLUTTER_ROOT not found in #{generated_xcode_build_settings_path}. Try deleting Generated.xcconfig, then run flutter pub get"
end

require File.expand_path(File.join('packages', 'flutter_tools', 'bin', 'podhelper'), flutter_root)

flutter_ios_podfile_setup

target 'Runner' do
  use_frameworks!

    end
  end
end

Actual results

Upon running "flutter run" I am getting:

[!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "Firebase/CoreOnly":
  In snapshot (Podfile.lock):
    Firebase/CoreOnly (= 10.28.0)

  In Podfile:
    firebase_core (from `.symlinks/plugins/firebase_core/ios`) was resolved to 3.4.0, which depends on
      Firebase/CoreOnly (= 11.0.0)


You have either:
 * changed the constraints of dependency `Firebase/CoreOnly` inside your development pod `firebase_core`.
   You should run `pod update Firebase/CoreOnly` to apply changes you've made.

I have tried:

Using specific version pods for Firebase and GoogleMLKit in the Podfile.

Trying different versions of dependencies for firebase_core, firebase_messaging and mobile_scanner in the pubspec.yaml file, as suggested on the web.

Running:

flutter clean
rm -rf ios/Podfile.lock ios/Pods ios/.symlinks
pod cache clean --all
pod repo update
pod install --repo-update
flutter pub get
flutter run

But no luck. :(

[danagbemava-nc]

You are using older versions of flutter and the plugins in question. Kindly upgrade to the latest version of flutter and the various plugins you're using to see if you still experience this issue. If you do, please report this on the appropriate repo so that it can be properly addressed.

This is not a flutter issue as it is cocoapods which is failing dependency resolution.

Closing from here.

Thank you
