Firebase Firestore error on build : Call to constructor of 'firebase::firestore::util::FormatArg' is ambiguous

I'm using React Native Firebase for my React Native project. Recently I updated my RNFirebase and Pods, and now this error shows up when I try to build the app.

It will go away if I remove Firestore from my Podfile.

enter image description here

Here is my podfile

platform :ios, '9.0'

target 'creativuse' do
  # Comment the next line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks
  # use_frameworks!

  # Pods for creativuse

  pod 'Firebase/Core'
  pod 'Firebase/Firestore'
  pod 'Firebase/Messaging'

  target 'creativuseTests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
  end

end

I can't seem to find anything about this error anywhere. Any thoughts?

Environment

  • Application Target Platform: iOS
  • Development Operating System: macOS High Sierra
  • Build Tools: Xcode 9.2
  • React Native version: 0.55.3
  • RNFirebase Version: 4.2.0
  • Firebase Module: Firestore

I believe that the latest version of 'Firebase/Firestore' (v5.2.0) is NOT OK

Use an old version of Firestore is a workaround

Edit Podfile

pod 'Firebase/Firestore', '5.1.0'

Run again

pod update

This works for me!
