Trying to build an Ionic 3 app, I run `ionic cordova build ios` and I get this error twice

> No visible @interface for ‘FIRMessaging’ declares the selector ‘setDelegate:’

and then this

> No known class method for selector ‘setScreenName:screenClass:’

The app has GooglePlus plugin, firebase plugin and fcm plugin. I’ve tried removing and adding iOS platform, and also removed and added each of those plugins, but the errors still prevail. I know it’s the Firebase plugin that causes it, but can’t seem to find out why. It worked fine not long ago.

These are my plugins

Please help.

Ended up removing the FCM plugin and used Firebase for notifications, thanks to this tutorial [https://medium.com/@senning/push-notifications-with-ionic-and-cordova-plugin-firebase-ab0c0cad3cc0](https://medium.com/@senning/push-notifications-with-ionic-and-cordova-plugin-firebase-ab0c0cad3cc0). Hope this helps someone else!
