Please specify a platform for this target in your Podfile?

Question

I want to config Firebase Firestore. I followed all the steps, but at the last step, I got the error link below I mention.

After Executing this pod install command below error I got

[!] Automatically assigning platform ios with version 11.4 on target testing_gowtham because no platform was specified. Please specify a platform for this target in your Podfile. See https://guides.cocoapods.org/syntax/podfile.html#platform.

My podfile:

# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '9.0'

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


  # Pods for testing_gowtham

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

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

    pod 'Firebase/Core'
    pod 'Firebase/Firestore'
end

I saw this https://guides.cocoapods.org/syntax/podfile.html#platform but I did not find which line I need to change .

How to solve this issue?

Replace your whole pod file text with below text and then check.

# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project

# platform :ios, '9.0'

target 'testing_gowtham' do

use_frameworks!


pod 'Firebase/Core'
pod 'Firebase/Firestore'
end

platform :ios, '9.0' is working...I simply removed # this

There are Three ways to fix it

1. BREAKING FEAT: forward port to firebase-ios-sdk v7.3.0.

• Due to this SDK upgrade, iOS 10 is now the minimum supported version by FlutterFire. Please update your build target version.

  Solution:

  Go to the file ios/Podfile inside your project, and uncomment


  # platform :ios, '9.0'
  

  Then change the version to 10


  platform :ios, '10.0'
  

2. Go to the file ios/Podfile inside your project, find there the line

   # platform :ios, '9.0' // and uncomment it. 
   

   After uncommenting your Podfile will seems like this

   # Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
    platform :ios, '9.0'
   
   target 'testing_gowtham' do
   # Comment the next line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use 
    dynamic frameworks
    use_frameworks!
   
   # Pods for testing_gowtham
    pod 'Firebase/Core'
    pod 'Firebase/Firestore'
   end
   

   After that delete ios/Podfile.lock file and run pod install

3. Follow these commands in the terminal to fix the issue :

   gem uninstall cocoapods
   gem install cocoapods
   rm Podfile.lock
   pod setup
   pod install
   

If you have installed rvm as the root user, then you must sudo to install anything. like sudo gem uninstall cocoapods

Answer 4

If the above error occurs when you install pod 'PusherSwift' and pod 'AlamofireImage' you have to remove # symbol from

# platform :ios, '9.0'.

Then write the command pod install in your terminal.

When you run the project again the error will appear according to 'pusher swift'.you have to click unblock option. Then the problem is successfully solved.

Answer 5

Delete Podfile.lock file and run pod install.

I got this issue by changing the target iOS version and developing application on more devices.

Worked for me, but be careful - it will replace all, let's say, locked (cached) versions of libraries, that you are using. Check yourself that you fully understand what Podfile.lock file does here --> https://guides.cocoapods.org/using/using-cocoapods.html

Answer 6

In your Podfile -> Uncomment platform and set ios : 10.0

    platform :ios, '10.0'

this will work.

Answer 7

In Flutter project, I Also faced with this issue. Fixed by updating flutter and cocoa pods to the latest version.

Solution:-

• flutter clean
• rm -Rf ios/Pods
• rm -Rf ios/.symlinks
• rm -Rf ios/Flutter/Flutter.framework
• rm -Rf ios/Flutter/Flutter.podspec
• cd ios
• pod install
• cd ..
• flutter build ios

Answer 8

platform :ios, '9.0' is working...I simply removed # this

Answer 9

In my case it was because of an old project which I didn't run for like 6 months.

I just created a new Flutter project using this command flutter create -i swift -a kotlin project_name

And moved the ios folder to my project, run it and it works!

Answer 10

I have got this error many times while running flutter firebase project. Simple solution is: Replace:

# platform :ios, '9.0' with platform :ios, '9.0'

Actually # make it commented so we are just uncommenting it.

Answer 11

To solve this : open your pod file in Andriod Studio --> ios--> Podfile then you will see at the top of the file a commented out example:

platform :ios, '9.0'

uncomment this line and re-run the app to see if it works. If it's still not working then change the version to match your minimum requirement. I've set mine to iOS 12 as one of my dependencies required this.

Answer 12

The simplest answer is uncomment second line of Podfile and change the iOS version to 10 like this. Note that the very next following Xcode build will take a bit more time than usual. I don't know why...

platform :ios, '10.0'

Answer 13

You have to remove # symbol from

• cd ios
• open podfile

and remove # symbol and save this file

#platform :ios, '9.0'.

Then write the command pod install in your terminal.
