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.
I get this error on terminal whenever I try to install pod.

Answer 1

As the error said, we have incompatibility with the firebase package so:
I went to the Podfile and upgrade to 10 (platform :ios, '10.0') and the error go away;
as additional note:
I had that line commented before, so my first try was uncomment and upgrade to 9, but it wasn't work.

Answer 2

This problem mainly occur when using a MacBook with the M1 chip.
CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "Firebase/Messaging":
In Podfile:
firebase_messaging (from .symlinks/plugins/firebase_messaging/ios) was resolved to 10.0.0, which depends on
Firebase/Messaging (= 8.0.0)
The Solution here is to try the following steps:
Cocoa Pods Installation in M1
sudo gem install cocoapods
sudo gem install ffi
arch -x86_64 sudo gem install cocoapods -n /usr/local/bin
sudo gem install cocoapods -n /usr/local/bin
Install ffi
sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi
#update repo
arch -x86_64 pod install --repo-update
Flutter iOS builds
flutter clean
flutter build ios
Re-install dependency in iOS folder of flutter project
arch -x86_64 pod install

Answer 3

upgrade to 10 (platform :ios, '10.0') its work but face another issue
cloud_firestore: ^0.16.0
Error: CocoaPods's specs repository is too out-of-date to satisfy dependencies.
Solution
It can be solved by executing the following commands in the terminal.
Go to /ios folder inside your Project.
Delete Podfile.lock
Run pod install --repo-update (Make sure your cd into the iOS directory of the flutter app)
Run flutter clean
Once complete, rebuild your Flutter application: flutter run

Answer 4

arch -x86_64 pod install --repo-update works, i just tried it before but then i realised that you have to delete the Podfile.lock file located in your ios folder app/ios.
I've also updated the platform to "platform :ios, '12.0'" & this is what it's working on.
This answer works: https://stackoverflow.com/a/67636592/12592516.
Then you just have remove Podfile.lock
And this is on M1 chip.
I've struggled a lot with this but now I understand, I hope that this helps!

Answer 5

Thank you for the answer! It took quite some time to figure this out. For those looking and using Visual Studio Code. After you run the debugger, and Podfile will be created for you. At the top of the Podfile file in the ios/ directory, uncomment the line to read:
platform :ios, '10.0'

Answer 6

Go To your iOS folder, run pod repo remove trunk
then pod update.. and it will be fixed.

After that finished I ran the same command: arch -x86_64 pod install --repo-update inside VSCode and said: Pod installation complete! There are 6 dependencies from the Podfile and 30 total pods installed.
They key was removing Podfile from my project. Hopefully this helps.
