Looks like this is a git issue with BoringSSL, likely caused by GitHub downtime. Are you able to clone the BoringSSL repo manually via git clone https://github.com/google/boringssl.git?

[frios]

I am able to manually clone it. If I do that, how do I integrate it into CocoaPods as Cocoapods is attempting to download it? Excuse my naiveté.

fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly

This error message indicates the backend you're trying to clone from (in this case GitHub) stopped your clone unexpectedly. There's nothing you can do about this error when it occurs, though you may be able to find a root cause for the error by copying the clone command CocoaPods is running and manually executing it with the verbose flag.

I got a timeout error, the solution was to do pod repo update, give it a try!

[frios]

pod repo update did not work for me.

When I do a pod update, FirebaseUI gets updated to 10.0.1 and I get a build error

.../Pods/FirebaseUI/Auth/FirebaseAuthUI/FUIAuth.m:341:14: No visible @interface for 'FIRAuth' declares the selector 'useEmulatorWithHost:port:'

If I try to force using FirebaseUI 10.0.2, I get CocoaPods Error

@frios, you have incompatible dependencies. You'll need to remove either FirebaseUI or FirebaseFirestoreSwift, as FirebaseFirestoreSwift has not yet been updated to Firebase 7+.

[frios]

Well that is unfortunate as I use both of those in my app. Any idea what the update timeline is for FirebaseFirestoreSwift?

[morganchen12]

Looks like it's already been updated, but was placed in beta when Firebase moved to a unified pod version. You'll need to explicitly specify the version of FirebaseFirestoreSwift, like so:

pod 'FirebaseFirestoreSwift', '= 7.5.0-beta'

[frios]

That did the trick! Thanks so much for the help.
