‘FIRAnalytics+AppDelegate.h' is beyond a symbolic link (from Cocoapods in ver10.24.0)

Description

Hi,

I am unable to push the updated frameworks to Git after updating Firebase SDK from version 10.22.0 to 10.24.0 using Cocoapods.
There were no issues with version 10.22.0.

The error message is as follows:

error: 'Pods/FirebaseAnalytics/Frameworks/FirebaseAnalytics.xcframework/ios-arm64_x86_64-maccatalyst/FirebaseAnalytics.framework/Headers/FIRAnalytics+AppDelegate.h' is beyond a symbolic link
fatal: Unable to process path Pods/FirebaseAnalytics/Frameworks/FirebaseAnalytics.xcframework/ios-arm64_x86_64-maccatalyst/FirebaseAnalytics.framework/Headers/FIRAnalytics+AppDelegate.h

the same error I found in other issues:
#12668 (comment)
#12668 (comment)

Is any solution to avoid it ?

Reproducing the issue

1. Modify the Podfile by changing the version from 10.22.0 to 10.24.0 as follows::

2. Execute the command :
   pod install

3. Build the app to confirm that there are no build problems

4. Commit the code. <---error is here.

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

Xcode 15.3 started requiring symlinks in frameworks and Firebase updated accordingly. More context at #12505 and #12587

It looks like however you're using git needs to be updated to handle symlinks. See https://stackoverflow.com/q/14783847/556617 and https://stackoverflow.com/a/18791647/556617.

If you're still stuck and can reproduce in the git command line, we can take a deeper look.

@paulb777
Thank you for your response.
I referred to the link you provided (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14783847/git-file-is-beyond-a-symbolic-link) and resolved the error. （just execute "git add ." before commit it in github GUI）
It's kind of you.

I encountered the same. After 10.23.0 (from 10.22.0), it was no problem at 10.22.0.
I tried "git add .", but failed.
Even I want to stage all changed files from unstaged files.
Please consider to have a deep look.
Thanks!

I first started seeing this issue with version 10.23 ( I am currently using 10.25) using sourcetree to stage the files. I opened the project in terminal and ran "git add ." and that fixed the issue for me. It maybe an issue with sourcetree.
