Describe the bug
I'm trying to install the react-native-purchases-ui library but I'm having trouble compiling the project for iOS. The error I'm getting is:

node_modules/react-native-purchases-ui/ios/PurchasesPlugin.swift Compiling for iOS 11.0, but module 'PurchasesHybridCommonUI' has a minimum deployment target of iOS 13.0

I'm already using the minimum deployment target in version 15.6 (I've also tested it using version 13.4) and it still didn't work.

The pod install command works normally but when running the project I get the error above.

1. Environment
   1. Platform: iOS
   2. SDK version: 8.4.1
   3. OS version: iOS 18.2
   4. Xcode/Android Studio version: 16.2
   5. React Native version: 0.72.7
   6. SDK installation (CocoaPods + version or manual): 1.16.2
   7. Node version: 23.4.0
2. Steps to reproduce:

• Install react-native-purchases-ui with yarn (yarn add react-native-purchases-ui)
• Run pod install on /ios
• Run yarn ios or try to run the project with xcode on simulator

Additional context
I'm also receiving this error when try to run the project with yarn ios on terminal:

The following build commands failed:
	SwiftEmitModule normal x86_64 Emitting\ module\ for\ RNPaywalls (in target 'RNPaywalls' from project 'Pods')
	SwiftCompile normal x86_64 .../mobile/node_modules/react-native-purchases-ui/ios/PurchasesPlugin.swift (in target 'RNPaywalls' from project 'Pods')

Hi! Could you do a global search in your code to see if there is anywhere where the 11.0 version is still being used? I am curious as to where that version is coming from for this error.

@andrewdazs try changing 11.0 to your minimum deployment target

spec.platform = :ios, "11.0" to spec.platform = :ios, "13.4"

[andrewdazs]

Making these changes worked, thanks @rajatDocplix

This is still an issue. Probably coming from the discrepancy between the target across react-native-purchases and react-native-purchases-ui @JayShortway

@rgomezp Thanks for pinging, and thanks for the PR. We'll have a look!
