Hello,

[!] Oh no, an error occurred.`

Can someone help me please?

[dnkoutso]

This seems like an environment variable IOS_FIREBASE_MESSAGING_VERSION is not set. Most likely due one of the local pods you are referring to.

This does not seem a CocoaPods library issue so I am going to close.

[dnkoutso]

Please file an issue on the firebase repo instead.

Actually it looks more like an Ionic issue. that's not a Firebase environment variable.

[dnkoutso]

Was just about to ping you! :) thanks for clarifying. Thought Firebase used this.

Navigating into my Podfile (/platforms/ios/podfile) and manually changing the broken line to:

pod 'Firebase/Messaging', '~> 7.0.0'

This worked for me!
