React-native-firebase: Issue Installing Cloud Messaging

[thecodecafe]

Issue

So I'm trying to install RN Firebase Cloud Messaging and I'm getting the following error from Cocoapods.
I simply ran the following yarn add @react-native-firebase/messaging to install the messaging package, but got the below error.
NB: I already have @react-native-firebase/app installed, have remote config already working within the project.
``` [!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "Firebase/Messaging": In Podfile: RNFBMessaging (from../node_modules/@react-native-firebase/messaging`) was resolved to 6.0.0, which depends on
Firebase/Messaging (~> 6.8.1)

Specs satisfying the Firebase/Messaging (~> 6.8.1) dependency were found, but they required a higher minimum deployment target.

This should be in a FAQ or similar - it has bitten a couple people and will block you fully if not resolved

Root cause is your podspecs are out of date.

In my case doing a pod repo update syncs the podspecs and then version 6.8.1 (which is just a week or so old, explaining why you're likely getting caught by it) should be found. A pod install --repo-update should also be adequate but I have a co-worker that doesn't work for, for some reason.

Someone else had to get more forcible with the update (going into $HOME/.cocoapods and using git directly I think?) but it is the same underlying cause.

I'm closing this because I'm 99.99% sure this is the reason but please do reopen if it doesn't resolve for you

i had same issue
pod update and pod repo update did not help at all !

But this works? https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/master/make-demo.sh

i had same issue

Were you able to solve it @sultan-arshi ?

[sultan-arshi]

please see if your pod file ios version is not lower then minimum for fire base
i think minimum version for firebase is 10 (not 100% sure, you can confirm it)

[mikehardy]

it is not so much "minimum" as just staying current as we track upstream bug fixes and ingest bug fixes here
Current here is v10.3.1 which implies firebase-ios-sdk 7.3.0 and firebase-android-sdk 26.2.0

Oh! I misunderstood Sultan-arshi - he is right about ios minimum deployment version in the Podfiles, those are 10 now
