Answer 1

In the Flutter terminal try this:

• cd ios
• pod update Firebase/Firestore

For me works perfectly after that.

Answer 2

1- Open xcode for the iOS project by clicking on Runner.xcworkspace file located in ios directory

2- Click Runner (on the left of the xcode)

3- Click on Build Settings tab (in the middle of xcode)

4- Change iOS Deployment Target to 12.1 for example

5- Save your action

6- Run flutter clean then run your app

Answer 3

From flutter terminal, try this:

• flutter clean
• cd ios
• pod update Firebase/Firestore

Now flutter run will work as expected.
