Research direction

Start with the reported iOS installation failure and try pod install --repo-update to check whether the Firebase/Messaging 11.5.0 dependency resolves. Review the NativeScript Firebase iOS installation guidance mentioned in the issue. Done means the plugin installs successfully without the CocoaPods compatibility error.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Get this error when I install plugin on iOS
[!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "Firebase/Messaging":
In Podfile:
Firebase/Messaging (~> 11.5.0)

None of your spec sources contain a spec satisfying the dependency: Firebase/Messaging (~> 11.5.0).

You have either:

  • out-of-date source repos which you can update with pod repo update or with pod install --repo-update.
  • mistyped the name or version.
  • not added the source repo that hosts the Podspec to your Podfile.
    'pod install' command failed.
