After updating to the latest version of the cloud_firestore plugin (cf pubspec.yaml below), the application would no longer archive in the latest Xcode, although it runs on the emulator.

gRPC now fixed the issue where Archiving in xCode would crash. If you still have this issue today, it means your Pods are NOT updating correctly.
Delete /ios/Podfile.lock and /ios/Pods
That was how I finally got gRPC to load to latest version. gRPC needs to be 1.13 or higher to fix.
