Cannot upgrade to the Firebase Crashlytics SDK

We are trying to upgrade from Fabric Crashlytics SDK to Firebase Crashlytics SDK. However, when trying to upgrade, we are unable to do so. The error is:

[!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "Firebase/Crashlytics": In Podfile: Firebase/Crashlytics

Specs satisfying the Firebase/Crashlytics dependency were found, but they required a higher minimum deployment target.

Additional details:

The current deployment target of our app is iOS 9, which we just recently upgraded. We are also using Objective C as the main language for this project.

Current content of our podfile includes

pod 'Fabric', '~> 1.10.0'
pod 'Crashlytics', '~> 3.13.0'

My questions are

  1. Is it possible to still use Firebase/Crashlytics without upgrading our deployment target?
  2. What is the minimum deployment target that can use the new Firebase/Crashlytics sdk?

Thank you!

Please clarify the contents of the Podfile. The description talks about 'Firebase/Crashlytics', but I don't see that in the contents posted. - Paul Beusterien

According to this the minimum project target for Firebase is iOS 8 or later. I know that I have Crashlytics currently running in my own project which targets iOS 9, so your use case seems fine in that regard. Which I think answers both of your two questions.

But, just looking at your podfile, I believe to reference Crashlytics you should had it looking more like this:

pod 'Firebase/Crashlytics'

Mine looks like this.

pod 'Firebase/Crashlytics', '6.32.2'

No need for Fabric or Crashlytics on its own. But it seems like the contents of your podfile, and the actual pod being found in your error message also don't match, so I'm not sure what's going on there.
