Error Installing Firebase on iOS: RPC Failed During git Clone

[rovshenhojayev]

Issue:

I'm trying to install Firebase (v11.2.0) for an iOS Flutter project using CocoaPods. However, I'm encountering an error during the installation process.

After running pod install, the following error appears:

Analyzing dependencies
firebase_core: Using Firebase SDK version '11.2.0' defined in 'firebase_core'
Downloading dependencies
Installing Firebase (11.2.0)

[!] Error installing Firebase
[!] /usr/bin/git clone https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk.git /var/folders/... --template= --single-branch --depth 1 --branch CocoaPods-11.2.0

Cloning into '/var/folders/...'
error: RPC failed; curl 18 Transferred a partial file
error: bytes of body are still expected
fetch-pack: unexpected disconnect while reading sideband packet
fatal: early EOF
fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output

What I've tried so far:

Increased the http.postBuffer size using git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000.
I’m from Turkmenistan, where many sites are restricted, so I had to use a VPN to access this platform. I’ve tried both with and without the VPN to troubleshoot the issue.
Tried clearing the CocoaPods cache and re-running pod install.
Despite these attempts, I'm still facing the same error. Has anyone encountered this issue before, or have suggestions on how to resolve it?

Here also Debug Console:
