ionic 4 - compile ios - problem in target 'GoogleDataTransport' from project 'Pods'

Issue

I'm trying to compile my app as I used to do, but it's returning this error:

** ARCHIVE FAILED **

The following build commands failed:
  CompileC /Users/myuser/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/myapp-gcpsxwgciwwqcxghqjubozbsahac/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/MyApp/IntermediateBuildFilesPath/Pods.build/Debug-iphoneos/GoogleDataTransport.build/Objects-normal/arm64/GDTCORPlatform.o /Users/myuser/dev/myapp-ionic/platforms/ios/Pods/GoogleDataTransport/GoogleDataTransport/GDTCORLibrary/GDTCORPlatform.m normal arm64 objective-c com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler (in target 'GoogleDataTransport' from project 'Pods')
(1 failure)
xcodebuild: Command failed with exit code 65
[ERROR] An error occurred while running subprocess cordova.

        cordova build ios exited with exit code 65.

        Re-running this command with the --verbose flag may provide more information.

What I tried so far:

• remove and add cordova ios platform @ 5.1.1
• ionic repair several times
• pod deintegrate && pod install

My Podfile

source 'https://cdn.cocoapods.org/'
platform :ios, '11.0'
use_frameworks!
target 'MyApp' do
  project 'MyApp.xcodeproj'
  pod 'Firebase/Core', '6.13.0'
  pod 'Firebase/Auth', '6.13.0'
  pod 'Firebase/Messaging', '6.13.0'
  pod 'Firebase/Performance', '6.13.0'
  pod 'Firebase/RemoteConfig', '6.13.0'
  pod 'Fabric', '1.10.2'
  pod 'Crashlytics', '3.14.0'
end

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings.delete 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'
    end
  end
end

Solution

Another alternative is to downgrade Xcode to 14.1. Not the most elegant but it got the app compiling again.
