unable to update Firebase due to Geofirestore/Geofire dependencies

[CollinEsmon]

I want to update Firebase, so I updated the GeoFirestore podspec dependency to 'Firebase', '> 6.1.0'. However, Geofirestore has a Geofire dependancy which has a Firebase/Database (>5.0) dependency. What can I do to update Firesbase with these dependencies?

[!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "Firebase/Database":
  In Podfile:
    Geofirestore (from 'https://collinesmon@github.com/CollinEsmon/GeoFirestore-iOS.git') was resolved to 1.0.0, which depends on
      GeoFire (~> 3.0) was resolved to 3.0.0, which depends on
        Firebase/Database (~> 5.0)

Specs satisfying the 'Firebase/Database (~> 5.0)' dependency were found, but they required a higher minimum deployment target.

same here. I need to update firebase to take advantage of latest ML and Firestore updates but this dependency is holding everything back.

Right now this is stopping development on the app. Would be great if it could be updated

Are there any plans to update this? We are stuck with this

Sorry, currently we don't have much time to maintain the library. Any help though would be appreciated.

Hey Glactin! Jumping in here. Imperium Labs is moving on and has several projects in the works, so is currently unable to keep updating the repository. However, outside of versioning requirements, we believe that many of the major bugs have been addressed. To contribute to the repository, please consider submitting a pull request. Only Nikhil and I have access to updating the pod on the CocoaPods repo, and we will update the spec as necessary, but feel free to clone the raw source, install the dependencies, and use it that way if the Pod is out of date.

You can solve by doing this
pod 'GeoFire', :git => 'https://github.com/firebase/geofire-objc.git' pod 'Geofirestore', :git => 'https://github.com/imperiumlabs/GeoFirestore-iOS.git'

I tried @blackwiz4rd 's suggestion but there seems to be another missing piece.

The root cause that dependency couldn't be updated is this:
firebase/geofire-objc#127

So before Firebase guys publish the latest release and fix the CocoaPods distribution, we have to specify the branch like this:

pod 'GeoFire', :git => 'https://github.com/firebase/geofire-objc.git', :branch => 'master'
