bug: Capacitor-firebase + Capacitor-mlkit version conflicts

[gerardopar]

Plugin(s)

• Face Detection
• Face Mesh Detection
• Selfie Segmentation
• Translation

Version

6.2.0

Platform(s)

• Android
• iOS
• Web

Current behavior

We are currently using the capacitor-mlkit and capacitor-firebase plugins in our app.

With the following versions, everything works smoothly:

"@capacitor-firebase/authentication": "^6.1.0",
"@capacitor-mlkit/barcode-scanning": "6.1.0",
"firebase": "^10.14.1"

However, we recently upgraded to the latest versions (6.2.0) to address an issue with Google login on iOS. After the update, versioning conflicts emerged between the plugins:

"@capacitor-firebase/authentication": "^6.2.0",
"@capacitor-mlkit/barcode-scanning": "6.2.0",
"firebase": "^11.0.1"

Error Details:

The issue stems from a version incompatibility with GoogleUtilities/Environment. Specifically:

• FirebaseAuth requires GoogleUtilities/Environment version 8.0 or above.
• GoogleMLKit depends on version 7.2.

This discrepancy causes CocoaPods to fail during installation. Here’s a screenshot of the error:

Is there a recommended approach to resolve these conflicts, or are there planned updates to improve compatibility across these dependencies?

Thank you!
