Research direction

Start by locating the Firebase iOS SDK version pin used by the firebase_core Swift Package Manager configuration; the issue does not name the file, so search the repository for the 12.19.0 SPM pin. Keep the CocoaPods pin unchanged at 12.19.0, update the SPM pin to 13.0.0, and verify the package resolves successfully.
