EAS build failed --> The Swift pod `FirebaseCoreInternal` depends upon `GoogleUtilities`, which does not define modules.

I am able to build my react native front end through the expo cli locally but when i try to build with eas I check the build log on the web interface and there is a consistent error when installing the pods… →

[!] The following Swift pods cannot yet be integrated as static libraries:

The Swift pod FirebaseCoreInternal depends upon GoogleUtilities, which does not define modules. To opt into those targets generating module maps (which is necessary to import them from Swift when building as static libraries), you may set use_modular_headers! globally in your Podfile, or specify :modular_headers => true for particular dependencies.

  • Your eas-cli version

I am honestly just very stumped since this is my first time working with eas, I have looked for similar problems on the forum already but cant seem to find anything of any relevance. Any help is appreciated

I want to add that I have updated the eas-cli as well to see if that was the problem. but the build still failed.
