When downgrading to pods 1.7.5 the issue disappears

[NilsonUehara]

When downgrading to pods 1.7.5 the issue disappears

have a same issue. How do you do a downgrade it?

Resolved:
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem install cocoapods -v 1.7.5
pod repo update

[dpa99c]

What version of cocoapods caused you the issue?
I want to find the first version which causes it so I can document a maximum version requirement of cocoapods until this is properly resolved...

EDIT:
After further research, cordova requirements kept saying I don't have cocoapods installed. I had it installed via homebrew but running pod setup did nothing for me.

As per a comment in this thread I went ahead and uninstall it via homebrew and try sudo gem install cocoapods -v 1.7.5 instead. Then pod setup worked and it fixed my issue.

Remove both the plugin and the iOS platform. Add the plugin, then add iOS platform back

[dpa99c]

The Cocoapods version issue appears to have been resolved by PR https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-plugin-firebasex/pull/173.
Using [email protected] and [email protected], the Pods are installed successfully without error.

Try installing without using the sudo command
