[Flutter] Error Installing Firebase on iOS: RPC Failed During git Clone

Issue:

I'm trying to install Firebase (v11.2.0) for an iOS Flutter project using CocoaPods. However, I'm encountering an error during the installation process.

After running pod install, the following error appears:

Analyzing dependencies
firebase_core: Using Firebase SDK version '11.2.0' defined in 'firebase_core'

What I've tried so far:

Increased the http.postBuffer size using git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000.

I’m from Turkmenistan, where many sites are restricted, so I had to use a VPN to access this platform. I’ve tried both with and without the VPN to troubleshoot the issue.

Tried clearing the CocoaPods cache and re-running pod install.

Also here is Debug Console:
