Flutter: CocoaPods's specs repository is too out-of-date to satisfy dependencies

Question

Current, I was trying to add firebase_core: ^0.5.0+1 and firebase_crashlytics: ^0.2.1+1 packages in my flutter project with the latest versions, It works without any trouble in Android but in iOS, it is not working and giving error. So now how to run my project with the latest package in the iOS Flutter project?

I also tried to pod repo update but it is still not working

I am getting this error on flutter run

CocoaPods' output:

     * changed the constraints of dependency `GoogleDataTransport` inside your development pod `firebase_crashlytics`.
       You should run `pod update GoogleDataTransport` to apply changes you've made.

Answer 1

This worked for me:

1. flutter clean
2. delete /ios/Pods
3. delete /ios/Podfile.lock
4. flutter pub get
5. from inside ios folder: pod install
6. flutter run

Answer 2

This worked for me, NO need to run flutter clean

1. goto ios folder inside your project
2. remove Podfile.lock
3. run flutter pub get if your Podfile is out of date or non-existent.
4. run pod install

Answer 3

how i resolve this.

1. Go to /ios folder inside your Project.

2. Delete Podfile.lock (YourPoject/ios/Podfile.lock)

3. run cmd pod repo remove trunk

Now you have removed the pod completely. Now run

Here you have to do it according to the chip of your Mac, here I have given for both. thanks, @Kamal Panara for identifying this

For Intel chip users

Run pod install --repo-update

(Make sure your cd into the iOS directory of the flutter app) For M1 chip Users

install ffi first (if not) In regular terminal using command:

sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi 

then run

arch -x86_64 pod install --repo-update

Note if you are getting an error of

[!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "cloud_firestore":
  In Podfile:
    cloud_firestore (from `.symlinks/plugins/cloud_firestore/ios`)

Specs satisfying the `cloud_firestore (from `.symlinks/plugins/cloud_firestore/ios`)` dependency were found, but they required a higher minimum deployment target.

[!] Automatically assigning platform `iOS` with version `9.0` on target `Runner` because no platform was specified. Please specify a platform for this target in your Podfile. See `https://guides.cocoapods.org/syntax/podfile.html#platform`.

now go to the podfile at line just uncomment the line and make it similar like below.

platform :ios, '12.0'

Now re-run this cmd.

arch -x86_64 pod install --repo-update

Now this time it will work fine.

now run

flutter clean

then

flutter run. 

enjoy.

Answer 4

For me, simply removing podfile.lock and re-running with flutter run did the trick.

Answer 5

If your Run folder dont have /ios/Podfile.lock you just need open your IOS foler in terminal and run : $ pod repo update

Answer 6

Try the following steps. It worked for me:

• flutter clean

• delete /ios/Pods

• delete /ios/Podfile.lock

In the ios folder, run the following command:

pod install --repo-update

Finally, perform the following:

flutter run
