Variable IOS_USE_PRECOMPILED_FIRESTORE_POD does not work on 14.2.1-cli

Bug report

CHECKLIST

• I have read the issue reporting guidelines
• I confirm this is a suspected bug or issue that will affect other users
• I have reproduced the issue using the example project or provided the necessary information to reproduce the issue.
• I have read the documentation thoroughly and it does not help solve my issue.
• I have checked that no similar issues (open or closed) already exist.

Current behavior:

Using the 14.2.1-cli build, the pre-compiled Firestore pod is always used regardless of the variable IOS_USE_PRECOMPILED_FIRESTORE_POD.

The non-cli 14.2.1 version works fine.

Comparing plugin.xml between 14.2.1-cli and 14.2.1 reveals a number of differences including:

14.2.1-cli: <pod name="FirebaseFirestore" git="https://github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks.git" tag="9.1.0"/>

14.2.1 <pod name="Firebase/Firestore" spec="9.1.0"/>

Expected behavior: The variable IOS_USE_PRECOMPILED_FIRESTORE_POD should control whether the pre-compiled Firestore pod is used.

Steps to reproduce: Add 14.2.1-cli into a project without specifying the variable (defaults to false). Check the PodFile - it states: pod 'FirebaseFirestore', :tag => '9.1.0', :git => 'https://github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks.git'

Should be fixed in cordova-plugin-firebasex@15.0.0-cli which has just been released to npm

Hi @RobYed. Since release 14.2.0, the pre-compiled version is not the default anymore. As explained upper, there is a merge issue. If you want the same behavior on the cli, instead of hook, juste adapt the plugin.xml to the right pod (as here)…

In all case, you’ll need a fork before the fixing release.

EDIT : I just detect that the current cli_build branch has already been fixed with the PR you are waiting for. https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-plugin-firebasex/pull/757
