[🐛] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod GoogleAppMeasurement

[RodolfoGS]

Issue

I'm installing the latest versions of @react-native-firebase (15.0.0) but I receive the following error when I try to update pods (pod update)

[!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "GoogleAppMeasurement":
  In Podfile:

How does it go when you update this to 9.6.0?

react-native-google-mobile-ads/package.json

Line 44 in 5d2048b

"googleMobileAds": "9.3.0",

https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/rel-notes

I'll do a speculative change to that as a PR here so it will run this action and you can get a patches.zip for patch-package use, in case that's useful, but your testing will be most useful - I won't have time to test it today

[mikehardy]

patches will show up here, but it is also easy to test locally: https://github.com/invertase/react-native-google-mobile-ads/actions/runs/2550290745

I did that change, and seems that will work (maybe solved the issue) but now I'm getting another error.

[!] The following Swift pods cannot yet be integrated as static libraries:

The Swift pod `FirebaseCoreInternal` depends upon `GoogleUtilities`, which does not define modules. To opt into those targets generating module maps (which is necessary to import them from Swift when building as static libraries), you may set `use_modular_headers!` globally in your Podfile, or specify `:modular_headers => true` for particular dependencies.

I found an issue closed related with that invertase/react-native-firebase#6323 and tried the approach pod 'GoogleUtilities', :modular_headers => true
But doesn't work, pod update works but then fails the compile

I'm also using expo: 45.0.6
I'll try to create a reproducible demo

[RodolfoGS]

The new issue that I'm having is not related with this, so, I think that the upgrade to 9.6.0 will work, but I'm unable to test it since I can't compile because the other issue.

I created an issue in the firebase repository with the steps to reproduce it: invertase/react-native-firebase#6332

[mikehardy]

Thanks for helping work through this. In my development of react-native-firebase v15, the switch to use_frameworks required by underlying firebase-ios-sdk has been quite difficult yes (for example... reactwg/react-native-releases#21 (reply in thread)) - and the fixes are subtle.

I think we'll be able to find something that works though

I have commented on RNFB 6332 with some ideas on how to move that one forward - I think it's useful to keep this issue open until we're sure we have something that works invertase/react-native-firebase#6323 (comment)

[mikehardy]

I have this working successfully in a non-Expo setup with react-native-firebase v15 and react-native-google-mobile-ads now

1- you need that patch to the podspec that sets our dependency here to Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK 9.6.0
2- you need a Podfile.properties.json with correct entry so that Podfile gets use_frameworks! :linkage => :dynamic value
3- you need $RNGoogleMobileAdsAsStaticFramework = true set for this module to avoid the error in the title of this issue
4- you need $RNFirebaseAsStaticFramework = true for firebase

Should work

Additionally, if you want to try react-native 0.69.0 (and/or Hermes in combination with that) you'll need this patch - https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/main/patches/react-native%2B0.69.0.patch - those changes will be picked for the upcoming react-native 0.69.1 release, they are already merged in react-native main.

In this combination with react-native-firebase v15 where use_frameworks! is required, Flipper will still not work and the new architecture will still not work

I consider this effectively closed since we've got all the parts of the solution together but I will leave it open until we release #174

[mikehardy]

All of these related changes are landing now - docs update, iOS SDK update, along with an android SDK update and a developer experience change. Will be batched into one release as soon as CI finishes chewing on it all 🚀
