Summary
Google has announced that the Firebase Apple SDK will stop publishing new versions to CocoaPods in October 2026. CocoaPods itself is also transitioning to read-only mode in December 2026. After that point, only Swift Package Manager or manual installation will receive new Firebase updates.
Impact on this plugin
This plugin currently distributes via CocoaPods and has an internal dependency on the Firebase Apple SDK. Without action, users will be unable to receive Firebase SDK updates after October 2026.
Request
Could the maintainers comment on plans to migrate the underlying Firebase dependency (and ideally the plugin itself) to Swift Package Manager ahead of the deadline?
Happy to help test or contribute if useful.
