My setup: VS Code, Flutter

If you don't have Podfile.lock file and pod update doesn't help, try this:

Go to ios/Pods/Local Podspecs directory in your project
Check every json file to find highest required ios version. Mine was "ios": "10.0" in some of them
Go back to ios/ directory
Open Podfile file
Uncomment # platform :ios, '9.0' and replace 9.0 with version from 2. step, for example 10.0.
- # platform :ios, '9.0' > platform :ios, '10.0'
Run pod install and the error should be gone

Yeah I did this too, worked. I think the flutterfire team needs to fix their dang dependencies – Shazamo Morebucks Jan 20 '21 at 13:09
agree @ShazamoMorebucks this is very cumbersome, I believe tech lead's comments on YouTube regarding Flutter have a lot of merit. I don't see Flutter as a long term solution as its fundamentally broken with so many issues that are never fixed. – Modesto Cabrera Feb 21 '21 at 09:35

It's important not forgetting to **uncomment** the `# platform :ios, '9.0'` line as it is commented by default and one may not see that immediately. – Renaud Tarnec Apr 09 '21 at 16:49
This solution painkiller for me. Thank you. – Utku Apr 17 '21 at 14:25
Legend. Thanks a lot – Neo May 17 '21 at 14:23
This works for me, but I just need to uncomment the platform on podfile one, and increase the minimum platform to 11.0 no need to go into each local podspecs. – Chen Li Yong May 25 '21 at 06:52
Why isn't this marked as the answer already? – Kenneth Murerwa Jun 02 '21 at 06:58
To get the version numbers out of all the json files, run this command: find ios/Pods/Local\ Podspecs/ -name \\*.json -exec jq -r '.platforms.ios' {} \; | sort -un – Phill Z Jun 19 '21 at 19:08

This will update all your pods though, which you might not want. I think Random Code Money's solution is better. Basically clear the Cocoapod cache from the project and reinstall. – Michael Rose Feb 27 '20 at 17:21

I got a similar error:

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

What did not work for me:

As per the other answers, I went to the Podfile & updated:

from: # platform :ios, '9.0'
to: platform :ios, '13.0'

Then tried flutter run again but this time it was stuck at:

Running Xcode build....

The wait was unnatural & my patience grew thin so I discarded this change & looked for another solution.

Finally, What worked for me:

flutter clean
flutter pub get
flutter run

No need to modify Podfile to specify a minimum ios target

For Mac with M1 chip (2022) :

What did the trick :

Change platform :ios, '9.0' to platform :ios, '11.0' in your Podfile file in <project>/ios/
Then update as follow : arch -x86_64 pod install --repo-update in your terminal (<project>/ios/)

All the dependencies and pods will be installed !

I had this issue:

To fix the problem, I opened the Podfile. Then

I uncommented platform: ios, '8.0' and replaced it by platform :ios, '10.0', as mentioned in the other answers.
I replaced the following code:

target 'Runner' do
  pod 'FirebaseFirestore', :git => 'https://github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks.git', :tag => '8.3.0'
  use_frameworks!
  use_modular_headers!
  
  flutter_install_all_ios_pods File.dirname(File.realpath(__FILE__))
end

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
  end
end

With this code:

target 'Runner' do
  use_frameworks!
  use_modular_headers!

  flutter_install_all_ios_pods File.dirname(File.realpath(__FILE__))
  pod 'Firebase/Core'
  pod 'Firebase/Crashlytics'
  pod 'Firebase/Analytics'
end

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '10.0'
      config.build_settings['EXPANDED_CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY'] = ""
      config.build_settings['CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED'] = "NO"
      config.build_settings['CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED'] = "NO"
    end
  end
end

In Terminal, I ran the following command in the ios folder.

$ pod install

Everything went well. I didn't see any issue but a lot of green logs which basically are related to Installing FirebaseX... and at the end I got this message:

Pod installation complete! There are 8 dependencies from the Podfile and 24 total pods installed.

To fix the problem (Intelli J)

Check in IOS flutter folder Podfile.lock is generated.
Run 'flutter doctor -v' to identify version of the Flutter,Dart,Xcode and CocoaPods version.
Incase cocoa pods are not found, follow install commands.

sudo gem uninstall cocoapods brew uninstall cocoapods

sudo gem install cocoapods pod setup
In Podfile - Uncommented platform: ios, '9.0' and replaced it by platform :ios, '10.0'.
Run the build

There are two problems at the same time here. Cant update cocoa pods because of firebase dep. and can't update because of minimum deployment target.

Do:

pod reintegrate
uncomment the second line in pod file and elevate te platform: iOS to 11.0
pod update

that's the trick

To your Podfile, add the Firebase pods that you want to use in your app.

platform :ios, ‘10.0’

Add the Firebase pod for Google Analytics

pod 'Firebase/Analytics'

For Analytics without IDFA collection capability, use this pod instead

pod ‘Firebase/AnalyticsWithoutAdIdSupport’

Add the pods for any other Firebase products you want to use in your app

For example, to use Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore

pod 'Firebase/Auth' pod 'Firebase/Firestore'
