ionic 5 + capacitor 3.5 iOS non-modular-header issue

[marshall86]

Hi, as per subject I'm getting an error with the latest cordova plugin for firebase dynamic links using Ionic 5 and Capacitor 3.5.
Xcode doesn't manage to create the build, It fails with "non-modular-header" issue while importing firebase.

Any idea on how to fix it pls? Thanks

Hi, I don't have the full log handy right now but this was the error

Include of non-modular header inside framework module 'CordovaPlugins.FirebaseDynamicLinksPlugin': 'ios/App/Pods/Headers/Public/Firebase/Firebase.h'
#import <Firebase/Firebase.h>
