iOS build fail after adding firebase

[lcardosol]

If you are looking for help, please confirm the following...

• I confirm I have searched the Docs, Codemagic Sample Projects, and GitHub Discussions.
• I confirm the software versions on my local computer match the ones in CI environment (e.g. Xcode version, Gradle version). See here
• I confirm I am able to do a fresh clone of the repository and build the project on my local computer.

Which mobile framework are you using?

Ionic/Cordova

Steps to reproduce

After I added firebase to my ionic project to implement Push Notifications, I started getting the following error, which by running the command that it says on my local computer, it works and the build works as well: xattr -w com.apple.xcode.CreatedByBuildSystem true /Users/builder/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/App-dauaqfqrctuewxfmikobeghbofmz/SourcePackages/checkouts/nanopb/build
I even tried connecting via SSH to the build machine an manually running the command, after that everything works as well if I rerun the capacitor sync ios manually, but if I restart the build I get the same error again.

The pipeline works and I get an IPA file after it ends

It fails with an error while syncing the dependencies with pod.

Hi @lcardosol, can you please share the contents of podfile?
the post_install do |installer| section.

[lcardosol]

I have tried this step, but I can try it again. I started getting this problem after I added the firebase package, on my computer it worker by running that command suggested in the logs.

[himesh-cm]

Can you share the build id once you have tried it?
What Xcode, node, etc. version are you using in your local env?

[lcardosol]

This is the build ID: 646b4d75b8dd43d3905ce4cb

On my local env I have:
Node: 16.16.0
Xcode: 14.3
Ionic 6.20.9
Capacitor 5.0.3

Hi @lcardosol, I apologize for the delayed response. Upon checking, it seems that you were able to resolve the issue on your own. Kindly inform us if you require further assistance with building on codemagic. It would be helpful if you could share the solution you used so that others with similar queries may find the answer more quickly.

At the end all I did was to delete all the dependencies manually and reinstalled them from the cap update, this recreated all the dependencies and it worked.
