Other information:

I think the issue comes from Firebase SDK v6.11 - downgrading helped (to version which does not use Firebase SDK v6.11). Also xCode debugger catches BAD_MEMORY_ACCESS inside firebase SDK files.

It seems v6.11 were having issues on lower iOS versions (v12 and lower) and v6.13 were pushed quite quickly.

I'm having the same issues. Even manually upgrading the pod to 6.13.0 doesn't fix it, so not sure what's the solution here. In the meantime, manually downgraded the pod to 6.9.0

Cordova currently doesn't support the use of plugin variables in plugin podspecs (as it does for Gradle dependencies for Android) otherwise you could override the versions pinned by the plugin using plugin variables at plugin install time. However, I may be able to implement this using hook scripts.
In the meantime, I will update the pinned versions to the latest v6.13.0 shortly.
