I have this issue after adding cloud_firestore dependency in my pubspec.yaml file.

This is the entire message in the console:

Error running pod install
Error launching application on iPhone XR.

If I remove the cloud_firestore dependency the app runs regularly.

When adding Firestore to my project I started following all the steps in the Firebase Console, so I do also the step 3: pod init, pod 'Firebase/Core', pod install. Then by searching other resources online, I read that I should not have done them. Could this be the cause?


Update As requested, this is my pubspec.yaml. It is very simple

  # The following adds the Cupertino Icons font to your application.
  # Use with the CupertinoIcons class for iOS style icons.
  cupertino_icons: ^0.1.2

I tried your pubspec.yaml file starting over with a Flutter Application with Swift support.

name: flutter_app_so_53935700
description: A new Flutter application.

# The following defines the version and build number for your application.
# A version number is three numbers separated by dots, like 1.2.43
# followed by an optional build number separated by a +.
# Both the version and the builder number may be overridden in flutter
# build by specifying --build-name and --build-number, respectively.
# Read more about versioning at semver.org.
version: 1.0.0+1

environment:
  sdk: ">=2.0.0-dev.68.0 <3.0.0"

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  rxdart: 0.18.1
  rx_command: 2.0.5
  flutter_localizations:
    sdk: flutter
  cloud_firestore: 0.8.2+3
  device_id: 0.1.3

  # The following adds the Cupertino Icons font to your application.
  # Use with the CupertinoIcons class for iOS style icons.
  cupertino_icons: ^0.1.2
  built_value: "6.1.2"
  built_collection: "4.0.0"

dev_dependencies:
  flutter_test:
    sdk: flutter
  build_runner: 0.10.2
  built_value_generator: 6.1.2
  flutter_launcher_icons: "0.6.1"


# For information on the generic Dart part of this file, see the
# following page: https://www.dartlang.org/tools/pub/pubspec

# The following section is specific to Flutter.
flutter:

  # The following line ensures that the Material Icons font is
  # included with your application, so that you can use the icons in
  # the material Icons class.
  uses-material-design: true

  # To add assets to your application, add an assets section, like this:
  # assets:
  #  - images/a_dot_burr.jpeg
  #  - images/a_dot_ham.jpeg

  # An image asset can refer to one or more resolution-specific "variants", see
  # https://flutter.io/assets-and-images/#resolution-aware.

  # For details regarding adding assets from package dependencies, see
  # https://flutter.io/assets-and-images/#from-packages

  # To add custom fonts to your application, add a fonts section here,
  # in this "flutter" section. Each entry in this list should have a
  # "family" key with the font family name, and a "fonts" key with a
  # list giving the asset and other descriptors for the font. For
  # example:
  # fonts:
  #   - family: Schyler
  #     fonts:
  #       - asset: fonts/Schyler-Regular.ttf
  #       - asset: fonts/Schyler-Italic.ttf
  #         style: italic
  #   - family: Trajan Pro
  #     fonts:
  #       - asset: fonts/TrajanPro.ttf
  #       - asset: fonts/TrajanPro_Bold.ttf
  #         weight: 700
  #
  # For details regarding fonts from package dependencies,
  # see https://flutter.io/custom-fonts/#from-packages

And all is fine.

Launching lib/main.dart on iPhone XR in debug mode...
Running pod install...
Starting Xcode build...
Xcode build done.                                           122.0s

With a valid .ios/Runner/GoogleService-Info.plist I ended up with a running flutter demo application.

Reading again your question, specifically

step 3: pod init, pod 'Firebase/Core', pod install

It seems that you have also change the .ios/Podfile file adding pod 'Firebase/Core' by hand. You don't have to do that.

You can find the right instruction here:

Add Firebase to your Flutter app

You have to stop ad step 2. Anyway try this codelab Firebase for Flutter that will guide you through the process of adding Cloud Firestore in a Flutter application.

And be aware of that issue.
