'Cannot run the Flutter project with Firebase in MacBook M1

I am trying to build a Flutter project using Firebase on my MacBook Pro M1. Everything was fine until I added the Firebase Core dependency. Now I can't run the project because of the error I'm facing in the debug console which is specified below.

I have tried all the possible solutions that were answered under the similar questions such as

Terminal is being opened using Rosetta.
Installed the ffi with the command "sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi" When I try to install pod I'm facing with the following error

Analyzing dependencies
firebase_core: Using Firebase SDK version '8.11.0' defined in 'firebase_core'
[!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "Firebase/CoreOnly":
  In Podfile:
    firebase_core (from `.symlinks/plugins/firebase_core/ios`) was resolved to 1.12.0, which depends on
      Firebase/CoreOnly (= 8.11.0)

None of your spec sources contain a spec satisfying the dependency: `Firebase/CoreOnly (= 8.11.0)`.

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 * out-of-date source repos which you can update with `pod repo update` or with `pod install --repo-update`.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.

If I run the "pod repo update" command I get the same error specified in the second block of code.
I have also tried removing the Pods and Podfile.lock file and tried to install again running "pod install" command and I have faced the third block of code.
I have also tried to update iOS version from 9.0 to 10.0, still didn't work.

name: my_app
description: A new Flutter project.

publish_to: "none"

version: 1.0.0+1

environment:
  sdk: ">=2.15.0 <3.0.0"


dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter

  cupertino_icons: ^1.0.2
  firebase_core: ^1.12.0

dev_dependencies:
  flutter_test:
    sdk: flutter

  flutter_lints: ^1.0.0

flutter:
  uses-material-design: true

Even though I have tried probably all of the possible solutions yet I'm officially in the infinite loop. It would be great, If you can help with solving my problem. Thanks in advance.

Solution 1:^[1]

I managed to run the project by navigating to the ios folder of my project directory using the Mac's Terminal and run the "pod update" command. It downloaded the all the related dependencies including Firebase and Pods all over again.

Solution 2:^[2]

You must set the iOS version in your Podfile.

Open your Podfile using TextEdit

You will see these two lines there.

# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '9.0'

You need to delete the hashtag then change your ios version to 10.0

# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, '10.0'

Save it, then run "arch -x86_64 pod install", you are ready.

Solution 3:^[3]

I’ve had this problem before. Update your Firebase packages in your pubspec.yaml to the latest versions (check pub.dev which versions those are). Once you’ve installed those, delete your Podfile.lock in your iOS folder and run sudo arch -x86_64 pod repo update and then arch -x86_64 pod install. This should solve your Firebase error.

Solution 4:^[4]

Go to terminal and open it with Rosetta
Write this command in terminal
```
sudo gem install cocoapods
```
Then write this to collect problem for M1 Apple laptop
```
sudo gem install ffi
```
Now, make pod init
Now, pod install
