firebase-ios-sdk: Xcode Can't Build Due to gRPC Bug (Firestore dependency)

[REQUIRED] Step 1: Describe your environment

  • Xcode version: 11.4.1
  • Firebase SDK version: 6.23
  • Firebase Component: Firestore
  • Component version: 6.23
  • Installation method: CocoaPods
  • CocoaPods version: 1.9.1

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe the problem

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create “Hello World” app with SwiftUI on the latest Xcode and OSX
  2. Follow Firebase installation process outlined here https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/setup
  3. add pod 'Firebase/Firestore' to the Podfile
  4. run pod install
  5. build app

Relevant Code:

After following the steps above, here is a screenshot of the build error: https://ibb.co/DKjF46G

If pod 'Firebase/Firestore' is commented out, it builds fine. Firestore is the library that has the dependency on gRPC, and gRPC has the bug.

Here is the full error message:

Use of undeclared identifier 'SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support'; did you mean 'GRPC_SHADOW_SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support'?

Here is an issue on gRPC that references the exact same error message: https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/19908

Here is the Podfile:

# Define a global platform
platform :ios, '13.0'

target 'Yolo' do
  # Enable dynamic frameworks
  use_frameworks!

  # Pods for Yolo
  pod 'Firebase/Analytics'
  pod 'Firebase/Auth'
  pod 'Firebase/Firestore'
  pod 'Firebase/Functions'
  pod 'Firebase/Storage'
end

Here is the Podfile.lock:

@paulb777 you are a SUPER HERO. that was it, i can pod install Firestore on my own system and build now. thanks so much for all of the help, if you’re ever in LA beers are on me! 🍻

if anyone else hits this kind of issue, i ran rm -rf ~/.cocoapods, then i ran pod cache clean -all but i don’t think that did anything because it returned the message [!] No cache for pod named -all found but following Paul’s logic, i also went ahead and manually deleted the entire /Library/Caches/CocoaPods/ directory. then when i ran pod install it took noticeably more time to install for obvious reasons. then everything built no problem 🎉

btw i’m also going to blow away that repro repo bc it has Google API keys in it.
