Description

After running the command flutterfire reconfigure, FlutterFire: "flutterfire upload-crashlytics-symbols" was added to Runner.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj. This caused an error when building the iOS side of the Flutter project.

Relevant error output:

  ERR : The current activation of `flutterfire_cli` cannot resolve to the same set of dependencies.
        | 
        | Try reactivating the package.

Building directly within Xcode works fine.

Removing the related lines from Runner.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj resolves the build issue.

Steps to reproduce

1. Run the command flutterfire reconfigure after adding firebase_crashlytics package.
2. run app in vscode on ios machine
3. got output of build error of xcode

Expected behavior

The app starts normally

We encountered the same issue today when the CI is building the application.
Has anyone found a solution? Or could someone perhaps point out the exact cause?

@wch930 - hmmm, I wonder if this is a problem with how we call flutterfire from Xcode: https://github.com/invertase/flutterfire_cli/blob/main/packages/flutterfire_cli/lib/src/firebase/firebase_apple_writes.dart#L393

This error suggests it is calling a different version of FlutterFire CLI:

  ERR : The current activation of `flutterfire_cli` cannot resolve to the same set of dependencies.

Is it possible you have two global installations which have a different set of dependencies?

same issue

The issue is caused by using FVM on my project with version 3.27.4, while the global Flutter was 3.29.0 which I configured without FVM. Switching the global Flutter environment to 3.27.4 within FVM and reactivating the Flutterfire_cli solved the problem.

Thanks @russellwheatley for the hint.
