After i try to run ns build ios :
ERROR :
Installing pods... Analyzing dependencies Pre-downloading:
FirebaseFirestore from
https://github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks.git, tag

compatible versions for pod "FirebaseFirestore": In Podfile:

Specs satisfying the FirebaseFirestore (from
https://github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks.git`, tag
9.6.0)` dependency were found, but they required a higher minimum deployment target. 'arch install' command failed.
What should i change to make this build work ? I can't even understand the error itself, can someone explain ?

Answer 1

Generally, you'll probably get answers faster on the Nativescript Discord server.
I believe it's telling you that it can't find/install the proper pods from CocoaPods.
It's looking for pods compatible with an older minimum iOS version.
You can build your app for a newer minimum versions by placing
IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 13.0;
in your build.xcconfig file.
Then run
ns clean
and try again.
If that doesn't work, you may also need to run
pod repo update
