[🐛] 🔥 Pod install fails on fresh install / upgrade of @react-native-firebase/app 10.3.0

[haswalt]

Issue

Installing the app package fails with CocoaPods not finding spec with react-native 0.63.3.

Install app

npm i @react-native-firebase/app

Install pods

cd ios/ && pod install

Podspec can't be found for Firebase/CoreOnly.

RNFBApp: Using user specified Firebase SDK version '7.3.0'
RNFBApp: Using overridden static_framework value of 'false'
[!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "Firebase/CoreOnly":
  In snapshot (Podfile.lock):
    Firebase/CoreOnly (= 6.34.0)

  In Podfile:
    RNFBApp (from `../node_modules/@react-native-firebase/app`) was resolved to 10.3.0, which depends on
      Firebase/CoreOnly (= 7.3.0)


You have either:
 * out-of-date source repos which you can update with `pod repo update` or with `pod install --repo-update`.
 * changed the constraints of dependency `Firebase/CoreOnly` inside your development pod `RNFBApp`.
   You should run `pod update Firebase/CoreOnly` to apply changes you've made.

Aborting run

cd ios && rm Podfile.lock && pod install

Another option is cd ios && pod update

Both will fix the issue, this is a common cocoapods thing but since that's native iOS development and react-native is supposed to abstract most of that stuff, it takes a while to get used to pod commands and their various common error states

That really should fix it so I'm going to close but if it is still not working we can reopen

[haswalt]

Neither of those things fix it.

rm -fr ~/.cocoapods
pod setup
cd ios/
rm Podfile.lock
rm -fr Pods
pod install --repo-update

I've tried various things around normal debuging of cocoapods and making things install clean but still the same issue.

@mikehardy can we reopen.

[haswalt]

With cleaned Podfile.lock the error is:

[!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "Firebase/CoreOnly":
  In Podfile:
    RNFBApp (from `../node_modules/@react-native-firebase/app`) was resolved to 10.3.0, which depends on
      Firebase/CoreOnly (~> 7.3.0)

None of your spec sources contain a spec satisfying the dependency: `Firebase/CoreOnly (~> 7.3.0)`.

You have either:
 * mistyped the name or version.
 * not added the source repo that hosts the Podspec to your Podfile.

[mikehardy]

rm -fr ~/.cocoapods
pod setup

These should not be needed in normal usage. If you have pod repo corruption then that will fix it but that is rare

cd ios/
rm Podfile.lock
rm -fr Pods
pod install --repo-update

These will fix all normal problems.

@mikehardy can we reopen.

No, this is project-specific, please note that there are multiple issues triaged today alone for people on react-native-firebase/@app v10.3.0 which indicates no one else is having this problem, which indicates the module is fine but your project has a problem.

You can try npx react-native-clean-project

You can try a clean repro with https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/master/make-demo.sh

You can try the other directory (in Library) mentioned here but that is a last resort indicating serious local corruption pmadruga/react-native-clean-project#42

To be the most clear though: the module works, the pod exists, something is wrong with your local project or environment

I needed to remove the trunk as well. No idea why ¯_(ツ)_/¯

cd ios/
rm Podfile.lock
rm -fr Pods
pod repo remove trunk 
pod install --repo-update
