Depedency conflicts with @react-native-firebase/crashlytics

[thacio]

What happened?

Failed building for ios when @react-native-firebase/crashlytics is present due to depency resolve. After the firebase updates 21.4.1, most of their libraries updated past GoogleDataTransport 10.0, so the error extends to analitics, auth, in-app-messaging, and probably others.
Since I'm using EAS to build, I can't test changing the GoogleDataTransport (< 10.0, >= 9.4.1) requirement to try fixing that, or changing podfiles, as they are created by eas when building.

EAS error:

Steps to Reproduce

Install @react-native-firebase/crashlytics, @react-native-ml-kit/text-recognition and build with eas.

@thacio any fixes??

Not really. I uninstalled crashlytics, set all the firebase services to 21.3.0, and will use analytics meawhile. Considering later creating a class simulating crashlytics but using analytics instead, so it would be easier to migrate if this ever gets fixed.

Might become a real problem though if I need to update firebase.

Well, good news and bad news.

The problem was GoogleMLKit. Other people were going through this problem, they solve it releasing the version 7.0.0.
googlesamples/mlkit#877
So, I bumped every GoogleMLkit dependency to 7.0.0 as was able to compile with firebase 2.6.1 without a problem. Also, the deploymentTarget for ios increased to 15.5.0, so it needs to be added to expo app.json.

Now, the bad news is that it just stopped working altogether for me, but I can't say if it was the bump to 7.0.0 or something else. Since yesterday I've been trying to upgrade to expo sdk 52, so it might be another package that broke the functionalities. But probably it was something with react-native-mlkit, since if I don't upgrade it or firebase, it still works.

If you want to give it a shot, you can clone the repository, look for the GoogleMLKit and bump from 6.0.0 to 7.0.0. I've forked the repo with the bump. https://github.com/thacio/react-native-ml-kit
To install, you would need to clone it locally.

git clone https://github.com/thacio/react-native-ml-kit
npm install ./react-native-ml-kit/text-recognition

{
  "expo": {
    "plugins": [
      [
        "expo-build-properties",
        {
          "ios": {
            "deploymentTarget": "15.5.0"
          }
        }
      ]
    ]
  }
}
```

This is good news. I'll check it out.

Just confirming it, text_recognition breaks with GoogleMLKit 7.0.0
