Failed to read file or folder at <my_path>/Carthage/Build/iOS/gRPC.framework

Describe your environment

• Firebase SDK version: 5.13.0
• Firebase Component: Firestore
• Component version: 5.13.0

Describe the problem

When running carthage update we get an error saying: "Failed to read file or folder at /Carthage/Build/iOS/gRPC.framework"

Looking at the release notes:
"Moved from Objective-C gRPC framework to gRPC C++. If you're manually tracking dependencies, the gRPC, gRPC-ProtoRPC, and gRPC-RxLibrary frameworks have been replaced with gRPC-C++."

Seems like something is not linked correctly?

Steps to reproduce:

Just run "carthage update".

Make sure that the frameworks that have been deleted in this release are no longer in your project.

The easiest approach might be to delete the Carthage directory before doing a clean carthage update

Deleted Carthage directory, but carthage update still stops at Failed to read file or folder at /Users/xxx/Carthage/Build/iOS/gRPC.framework.

Facing the same issue. Any solution?

[rs-georg]

Same issue here. Any idea how to fix it?

[var-const]

We're currently working with our release team to figure out the issue with the build.

[paulb777]

I updated FirebaseFirestoreBinary.json with a 5.13.1 version that properly puts gRPCCertificates.bundle in its new FirebaseFirestore.framework location instead of the no longer used gRPC.framework.

Please update and let us know if it works.

[jdanthinne]

Same error… :-(

[sauravexodus]

I downgraded it to 5.12 and it worked. 👍

[sauravexodus]

Same error… :-(

Is this happening with 5.13.1 as well?

[rs-georg]

I still get the same error

@sauravexodus How do you downgrade? I've tried binary "https://dl.google.com/dl/firebase/ios/carthage/FirebaseFirestoreBinary.json" "5.12" but got Parse error: binary dependencies cannot have a git reference for the version specifier.

[sauravexodus]

@jdanthinne Remove the version from Cartfile

Change in your Cartfile.resolved instead and then run carthage build FirebaseFirestoreBinary and so on.
