Flutter doesn't build iOS app using Firestore

Question

Trying to add Firebase Cloud Firestore functionalities to my test Flutter app but encountering problem when trying to build an app/run in debug.

I have followed official Flutter video how to add Firebase for iOS (register app, download .plist - add it inside Xcode). Of course I also added firestore dependancy to pubspec.

When I try to run my app, all I get in debug console is:

Launching lib/main.dart on iPhone XS in debug mode...

And it stays in that mode forever.

I have tried to remove Firestore from dependancies and after that my app ran without any problems.

Flutter doctor -v:

Flutter run -v log: https://pastebin.com/Q3jTU3jN

Any ideas what might be causing the issue?

In my case adding below line in pod file worked pod 'FirebaseFirestore', :git => 'github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks.git'=> '8.0.0' — singh.jitendra

After running flutter run -v and leaving it to run for few minutes, build was successful. Even tho it took almost 10 minutes.
