no such module 'Firebase' when creating own pod - ios

Question

I am trying to create a new framework called Experiments. It is wrapping Firebase RemoteConfig APIs for any app I may build using it.
When I run the following command pod lib lint Experiments.podspec, I get the following output with errors.
- ERROR | [iOS] xcodebuild: Returned an unsuccessful exit code. You can use `--verbose` for more information.
- NOTE...

- ERROR | [iOS] xcodebuild: <path/to/file>: error: no such module 'Firebase'
Here is my Podfile
platform :ios, '13.0'
target 'Experiments' do
pod 'Firebase'
pod 'Firebase/RemoteConfig'
target 'ExperimentsTests' do
# Pods for testing
end
end
Here is a relevant portion of my podspec file
Pod::Spec.new do |s|
s.name = 'Experiments'
s.version = '0.1.3'
s.summary = 'This pod allows A/B Testing.'
s.description = <<-DESC
This pod facilitates AB Testing. Currently, it is powered by Firebase only.
DESC
s.license = { :type => 'MIT', :file => 'LICENSE.txt' }
s.ios.deployment_target = '13.0'
s.source_files = "Experiments/*.{swift}"
s.swift_version = "5.0"
s.frameworks = 'UIKit', 'Foundation'
s.dependency 'Firebase'
s.dependency 'Firebase/RemoteConfig'
end
I was able to successfully build my framework on XCode after pod install.
I tried using s.static_framework = true in .podspec file but I keep getting an error.
Please post a comment if you need clarity.

Answer 1

s.static_framework = true is required.
There's likely no reason to depend on the Firebase pod.
s.dependency 'FirebaseRemoteConfig' without the slash is more likely to work.
If you're still seeing errors with these changes, please include them in the question.
