installation failure: compatible version of Firebase/Messaging

[willynlabs]

Bug Report

Installation fails (or ios platform add fails).

I have tried all manner of installation of version 7.0.0, but it fails with Firebase module/version issues every time.

I have removed all other Google plugins (e.g. cordova-plugin-googleplus), and even removed and installed cocoapods, and even updated my version of Ruby just to try all of the things I could think of.

I tried originally to reinstall this plugin after I updated to cordova 12.0 with ios version 7.1.1

I am running on osx 13.7.7 with xcode 15.2

I this in config.xml.

The "cleanest" install I get is with this message:

CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "Firebase/Messaging":
In Podfile:
Firebase/Messaging (= 11.8.0)

Other steps (like the one with cordova-plugin-googleplus) results in several version conflicts.

I have even tried creating a new cordova project and just installing the plugin, but it still failed.

I even checked just before the installation, and there were no cocoapods installed by other cordova plugins.

I am not sure what else I can try at this point, but am open to suggestions.

I have been running my app with a version of this plugin for 3 to 4 years, but am stuck as I can no longer build the app with the plugin (and there are few alternatives).

Add

<platform name="ios"> <preference name="deployment-target" value="13.0" /> </platform>

in config.xml

Worked for me

@woutwout That worked for me.

For MeteorJS users, you can also do this in mobile-config.js:

App.setPreference('deployment-target', '13.0', 'ios');
