I've seen a lot of posts related to similar errors, have tried all of the suggestions, but still no joy! Can someone explain the reason for this (apparently common) Cocoapod error when trying to install an ionic cordova plugin? (seems it's not specific to any one plugin, this same error pops up for lots of them). What is the process to troubleshoot this and what is the likely cause?

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebase-authentication

    cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebase-authentication exited with exit code 1.

I have tried the various suggestions:

  • gem install cocoapods

  • pod repo update

And I'm using the .xcworkspace file not the .xcodeproj file for xCode.

Help appreciated!!!

On MAC M1 I had the same issue, it was kind of random and it happened with some other plugins but not all plugins.

I installed 2 times cocapods to make it work. I had initially installed cocapods with homebrew and I installed it again with gem (ruby).

I hope this will help someone I spent 1 full day finding what it was.

I tried installing Firebase Auth via the pod file and it worked.
