Getting error message installing Firestore pods when using macOS Big Sur Version 11.1

Question

I have used Firestore in previous projects before on my old Mac, I've just recently bought a new MacBook Pro and I'm trying to install firestore pods I first set up the pod file and save it with the below code

Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project

platform :ios, '10.0' target 'Demo' do

Comment the next line if you don't want to use dynamic frameworks

use_frameworks!

Pods for Demo

pod 'Firebase/Auth'

pod 'Firebase/Firestore'

end

Then I go back on Terminal and type pod install, I get many error messages coming up Is there something I'm not doing correctly or is this an issue because of my new MacBook and does anybody know what I should do to fix this thank you in advance

Answer 1

I am using XCode 11.3.1 on a MacBook with M1 chip, and I solved it by running:

arch -x86_64 pod install

So, first step is:

yarn install

then

cd ios

and

arch -x86_64 pod install
