Please follow the installation instructions for iOS correctly, see iOS:

Add the `CapacitorFirebaseAnalytics/Analytics` pod to your `Podfile` (usually `ios/App/Podfile`):

	```diff
	target 'App' do
	capacitor_pods
	# Add your Pods here
	+  pod 'CapacitorFirebaseAnalytics/Analytics', :path => '../../node_modules/@capacitor-firebase/analytics'
	end
	```

Thanks! Pff thats a subtle difference. I think it would help if the documentation states something like:
Note: this line is subtly different than the line added by capacitor in the capacitor_pods section

[Robin Genz]

I think most people just copy the line. Im closing this issue as resolved.

The pod file shouldn't really be changed manually, a simple command like npx cap sync will overwrite these changes every time. That's how I just ran into this bug.

[Robin Genz]

@tomkortjak That's not correct. The npx cap sync command only overwrites the def capacitor_pods section. That's why the pod must be added to the target 'App' do section. This is not a bug. That's just the way how you configure the pods.

[Tom Kwarten]

Yes, you're right. Skipped right over that part of the documentation, sorry! 😅
