After I setup my Flutter application with Firebase and connecting the app with the Firebase console, I am not able to run the application in the iOS simulator.
My system description is - 2017 Macbook Pro Intel i5 & MacOS 13.6.7.
Simulator - iPhone 12 Pro Max iOS 17.2
The debug console shows the main error as -
Error running pod installError launching application on iPhone 12 Pro Max.Ruby version on my mac after running ruby -v
ruby 2.6.10p210 (2022-04-12 revision 67958) [universal.x86_64-darwin22]The application runs fine without setting up the Firebase. I tried a lot of things but still unable to figure out the solution.
The warning message in the debug console is -

These are the things I tried after referring multiple documents and resources -
