IOS - Cordova Build in 720 seconds?

[FranGhe]

Hi, sorry in advance about my english.

I have a cordova App and I installed this plugin to use Push Notify. All work fine in Android... also in IOS, but I have to wait 720 for cordova build and 720 more when I start to install my app on my Ipad.

I have read topic like these #407 and this #737... but not solution.

I updated my codova-plugin-firebasex/plugin.xml like this:

	<preference name="FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_COLLECTION_ENABLED" default="false" />
	<preference name="FIREBASE_PERFORMANCE_COLLECTION_ENABLED" default="false" />
	<preference name="FIREBASE_CRASHLYTICS_COLLECTION_ENABLED" default="false" />
        <preference name="FIREBASE_FCM_AUTOINIT_ENABLED" default="true" />
        ...
	<platform name="ios">
            <preference name="IOS_USE_PRECOMPILED_FIRESTORE_POD" default="true" />
             <pod name="FirebaseFirestore" git="https://github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks.git#10.16.0" tag="10.16.0"/>
	</platform>

During building seems that spend a lot of time on buiding something for iphone simulator (that I don't use)...

At the buildin end I have these warnings... and seems that they are where it spends a lot of time

The problem is the simulator?
Why I have no this problem without this plugin?
Can I disable the simulator building?
How I can check if my plugin editing is correct?
Anyway... on build completed (after 720 sec) on pods file I haven't reference about IOS_USE_PRECOMPILED_FIRESTORE_POD

I updated my codova-plugin-firebasex/plugin.xml like this

You cannot override plugin variables in this way (they are also stored in package.json).
Please see the documentation for using plugin variables.

Therefore because IOS_USE_PRECOMPILED_FIRESTORE_POD defaults to false, the Firebase SDK Firestore Pod must be compiled which is what is extending your build time.

Hi @FranGhe,
did you solved the problem?
Thanks

[FranGhe]

yes @lucaele ... I updated my cocoapods

pod repo update -> to check update
pod --version -> to check your version
sudo gem install cocoapods -> to install last version

[lucaele]
