Nativescript-plugin-firebase: Compile error with Firestore Pod after upgrading to 6.0.1+

[abhayastudios]

Hi @EddyVerbruggen!

I just updated my project to use version 6.3.0 of this plugin and now I get a compile error on iOS on this path Pods/FirebaseFirestore/document.h:

'Firestore/core/src/firebase/firestore/model/field_path.h' file not found

I get the same error even for 6.0.1, but downgrading back to 5.3.1 fixes the issue.

Hoping there is an easy fix to this.

Thanks!

Hi @abhayastudios!

Have you tried removing the platforms/ios folder to make sure the native Firebase SDK is updated?

After doing so and building for iOS, the file should be here:

Hey man!

Yes I had removed the entire platforms directory before I tried...

I tried again now after upgrading to NS 4.1 and still get the same error, even though I confirmed that the file does exist at this path:

platforms/ios/Pods/FirebaseFirestore/Firestore/core/src/firebase/firestore/model/field_path.h

Somehow I think there is an interaction effect with the SVGkit plugin that I am using. No idea though why the SVGkit would be using Firestore (and also why it starts to conflict when I upgrade this plugin, as said with 5.3.1 it worked fine in combination with SVGkit...).

I have created a little test project that demonstrates the issue. It was a little test project for nativescript-svg which was working fine until I just added the nativescript-plugin-firebase even without actually using/initializing it, which then started giving the above error.

Wondering if there is anybody else who runs into it or if it is an environmental issue for me...

The nativescript-svg plugin is hopelessly outdated and was causing issues on older Android devices as weel. I decided to migrate away from svg and use use bitmaps instead. Doing so also solved this weird interaction effect.
