Everything else in firebase worked fine, however when I try to use fcm, it starts to fail.

when I try to run it in xcode, I get

Error: You attempted to use a firebase module that's not installed natively on your iOS project by calling firebase.messaging().
Ensure you have the required Firebase iOS SDK pod for this module included in your Podfile, in this instance confirm you've added "pod 'Firebase/Messaging'" to your Podfile

However, I do have pod 'Firebase/Messaging', '~> 5.15.0' in my cocoapods.
none of the messaging function is working right now

try deleting the pod, running pod install, then adding the pod again and installing. re-check if you have followed all of the instructions steps.

I tried deleting the podfile, pod.lock, xcspace and all the files and re-ran pod install and pod update but it did not fix.

What does your Podfile look like?

[willymulyana]

I have exactly same issue but without using Pod (download Firebase-5.19.0.zip and follow readme inside it). Something I missed?

[willymulyana]

For those who stumble with this issue AND add this module manually (not using Pod), 12 steps (yes not 11, read the thread carefully) in this thread is the solution (readme should be updated actually).
