Hi,  
Anyone had a chance to make this work?  
I want to use FCM with cordova-plugin-fcm to activate push notifications on iOS.  
On android it worked like a charm (once I’ve downloaded google play repository and some other dependencies via SDK Manager)

On iOS (Mac) -  
First I had a problem installing pod Firebase (pod install gave me: pod Firebase required a higher minimum deployment version)

After I solved this (changing to Firebase \>= 2.5.1 on the podfile), I got a build error when using ionic build ios: The sandbox is not in sync with the Podfile.lock

I used a plugin cordova-plugin-cocoapod-support, this fixed the ionic build ios problem, but now when opening the XCode project and trying to run I get a linking problem: ld: framework not found Pods\_myApp

Anyone has an idea of how to solve this?  
Anyone has an idea of a step by step configuration to make FCM work on iOS?

Thanks…
