In the Podfile, change Google/Analytics to GoogleAnalytics. The Google pod is deprecated and not compatible with recent Firebase versions.

An alternative, but not recommended workaround, could be to lock the Firebase version to something less than 5.5.

UPDATE: June 2021: There is a Crashlytics podspec bug that can also cause this issue. The workaround is to explicitly add GoogleUtilities/Environment to the Podfile or move use_frameworks! to the top of the Podfile. Details in https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk/issues/8137. The issue will be fixed in the upcoming Firebase 8.3.0 release.

Are you able to make a shareable example? Or reproduce with a Firebase quickstart? https://github.com/firebase/quickstart-ios – Paul Beusterien Aug 21 '18 at 15:46
I have created a sample project. Please try building it. https://github.com/phoenixroy/PodsTest – Prateek Roy Aug 22 '18 at 05:25
Thanks for sharing the sample. I see what's happening and will update the answer. – Paul Beusterien Aug 22 '18 at 14:45

In my case the dependency that was causing it was Google/SignIn, changed to GoogleSignIn and it's working! – Daniel Faria Sampaio Sep 18 '19 at 12:34
In my case deleting the pods folder and reinstalling the pods via "pod install" command fixed the issue – Milan Agarwal Apr 02 '20 at 07:42

Problem fixed for me by following steps:

Clean the project
Close the Xcode
Delete derived data
If you have already installed the POD, kindly delete the “.xcworkspace” & “Podfile.lock” files
Install pod again
Open “.xcworkspace” and Run

Try This:

Delete the pod files related to Google and Firebase
Install pods via "pod install" command

If pod file contains below pods, update those pods

Google/Analytics to GoogleAnalytics
Google/SignIn to GoogleSignIn

Google/Analytics and Google/SignIn are deprecated.

In the podfile, install all pods after uncomment use_frameworks!.
If you already installed pods then remove pods, and install again after uncomment use_frameworks

As simple as that

comment the pod

uncomment the pod (Make sure there is not version added to pod)
pod install

There you go.

None of the answers listed here worked for me.

The solution that worked for me is:

Clean the project and close the Xcode
Clean the pod using command pod clean
Install the pod again using pod install
Open the project and build that one, it worked
