Trying to install GeoFire through Cocoapods, but getting Objective-C Module error

Question

So there is an odd build issue I’m encountering.

I have an existing Xcode project where all my packages have been added through Xcode itself (I think Xcode basically uses Swift Package Manager underneath).

I came to a point where I needed to now use GeoFire . But Geofire needs to be installed through Cocoapods. But my Xcode project never used cocoapods.

So to integrate Cocoapods I did the following:

1. brew install cocoapods
2. opened terminal and navigated to root directory of iOS app (where <app-name>.xcodeproj exists)
3. pod init
4. opened the generated Podfile and added the following: … platform :ios, '11.0’ … pod 'GeoFire', '~> 4.0’ …
5. pod install
6. opened <app-name>.xcworkspace
7. Then when I went to build the project, the following failure occurred (see image attached to question)

None of the workarounds suggested have helped me thus far. Any thoughts?

NOTE: I am doing all this on an M1 Macbook.

Wow, strange issue. What ended up fixing it for me was to go to my pod file and replace: pod 'GeoFire', '~> 4.0'

With: pod 'GeoFire/Utils'

Now I can use GeoFire in my file as I wish.
