[cloud_firestore] This plugin is not working correctly on iOS, grpcpp related

[YazeedAlKhalaf]

This is the error I get when trying to run ios app with cloud_firestore as a dependency.

Xcode build done.                                           214.5s

Hi @YazeedAlKhalaf
Can you please provide your flutter doctor -v, your pubspec.yaml your flutter run --verbose and a complete reproducible minimal code sample
Thank you

I have figured it out, thanks. It was the cocoa pods cache which was having missing files. I deleted it and ran pod install again. Everything worked as usual
