– This issue does not let me build when MLKit is set to true. I am able to build just fine if I build with authentication for instance. This appears to only be related to MLKit. The project that I have been working on can be found here… https://github.com/jonathanRinciari/business-card-scanner.

– I tried pulling down the demo and also ran into a similar issue…? Not sure what could be causing this issue when specifically targeting MLKIt

– This issue or similar issues … #990, #972, #472

About to release 7.4.0 which includes the latest Firebase iOS SDK and I’m quite positive the issue is fixed (it is for me).

Temporary solution from my side:

1. in platforms/ios/Podfile remove versions from ‘Firebase/Core’ and ‘GoogleUtilities’ I ended up with this:

 # End Podfile
# Begin Podfile - /Users/pawel.dziura/Projects/DHL_POC/node_modules/nativescript-plugin-firebase/platforms/ios/Podfile
 pod 'Firebase/Core'
# Temporary fix, see https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/nativescript-plugin-firebase/pull/926
pod 'GoogleUtilities'

That will install latest firebase 5.11.0 && GoogleUtilities 5.3.4

1. in platforms/ios use pod install (no pod repo update)
2. in platforms/ios/plugins-debug.xcconfig and platforms/ios/plugins/plugins-release.xcconfig in line 10 (OTHER_LDFLAGS) add -framework "QuartzCore" in the end
3. bump the minimal version of iOS to at least 9 (i used 10). I just opened the project in XCode and changed it
4. tns run ios

App has been successfully built and run on real device. Barcode scanner works.
