'Higher minimum deployment target' error when installing Firebase Crash Reports Pods for iOS

Question

I'm attempting to install the Firebase Crash Reporting Pod for iOS. The core Firebase Pod installs fine, however when installing Crash Reporting, I get the following error via the terminal:

Specs satisfying the `Firebase/Crash` dependency were found, but they required a higher minimum deployment target.`

I've tried workarounds from other similar threads (eg. Firebase pod install - pod 'Firebase/Database' - Required a higher minimum deployment target), but still get the same error - is there another possible workaround? What is the minimum iOS version supported by the Firebase SDK?

Make sure to change the minimum deployment target in Podfile so for example if the minimum deployment target is meant to be iOS 9, it should be changed to that minimum

platform :ios, '9.0'

fwiw, just tried this on a project with Xcode 13.1 and bumping up from `'10.0'` to `'12.0'` and it worked. – paneer_tikka Nov 15 '21 at 13:14
also change the AppFrameworkInfo.plist ` MinimumOSVersion 12.0` – Kristi Jorgji Jan 26 '23 at 15:11

None of the answers listed above fixed it for me. Changing to even the latest iOS target version did not work. What worked for me was this:

pod install --repo-update

for me manual update of `platfrom :ios, '12.0'` in Podfile + this command in the same directory as the Podfile fixed it! – Aidin Apr 18 '22 at 21:10
This does work for me! (without a need to change minimal sdk) – ch271828n Jun 02 '23 at 05:41

Updating your podfile platform to platform :ios, '11.0' will fix the issue

Thanks! 8.0 works. Is the minimum deployment target documented anywhere on Firebase? – user2181948 Jul 27 '16 at 04:00

Make sure to update the platform value in ios/Podfile

platform :ios, '<minmum_version_you_want_to_support_for_pods>'

Steps to solve this issue.

1.) Navigate to your project folder using your terminal or iterm.
2.) Open your project podfile by typing :  open podfile
3.) In your podfile edit the deployment target below which is the 8.0.
      platform :ios, '8.0'  
 You may replace it with higher deployment target like 9.0, 9.1, 10.0 or higher.

Just replace platform :ios, '10.0' or the right latest version.

how can we discover what that version is? Cocoapods should tell us. – funkybro Sep 08 '20 at 06:16

uh i guess we should just keep trying until we get it right, bcz they dont know how to write documentations!! – Adnan Sep 17 '21 at 09:10
@funkybro Look for *.podspec file in the package repository code. – Ulysses Alves Jan 23 '23 at 20:37

In my case iOS 10 as a target was fine. All I had to do was:

pod update Firebase/Firestore

This updated most packages to greater versions and fixed the problem.

Currently, the minimum iOS version supported by Firebase is 10.0. It's documented here.

Another scenario where this problem can occur is, if you have extensions for your app and if you specify different versions in main target and extension's target you will get this error. Make sure you have the same version of pod specified in the main target as well as in the extension's target.
