Running `flutter run` resulting incompatible IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET version error

Description

It's very likely that this is an issue on my end, but I'm creating an issue still, in case this happens to other devs.

So I've been trying to setup the repo locally, and:

• I've got all of the tools and libraries installed, confirmed using the flutter doctor command
• I started the iOS simulator using open -a Simulator and had the simulator running
• I cd'ed into mobile-app and ran flutter run
• I got the following error:

freeCodeCamp-mobile/mobile-app/ios/Pods/Pods.xcodeproj: warning: The iOS Simulator deployment target 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET' is
    set to 9.0, but the range of supported deployment target versions is 12.0 to 18.2.99. (in target 'PromisesObjC-FBLPromises_Privacy' from project 'Pods')

---

I went through some Stackoverflow threads and they suggested adding the following line to the post_install block in Podfile:

config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '12.0'

I tried that and it did resolve the error. I'm not sure if we should update main with that or I should change something on my end instead, hence this issue 😅

I don't believe that was the error as it's mostly a warning and it's already set in the XCode project settings. The error you might've got could be the missing flutterfire command which you need to install using - dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli
