ios - Duplicate symbols when integrating Firebase and Google Sign In SDKs manually without Cocoapods

Question

I am getting duplicate symbols error when integrating Firebase and Google Sign In SDKs manually in my existing iOS project.

The related SO question here didn't help as it uses Cocoapods.

Firebase and Google Signin giving duplicate symbols error

Steps I have taken in chronological order:

1. Copied Analytics, Auth and Database folder along with Firebase.h file from the downloaded Firebase SDK (3.11.0) into my project and added to targets.

2. Copied the GoogleService-Info.plist into the project and added to targets.

3. Added the -ObjC flag to other linker flags.

4. Copied the necessary frameworks and bundles from the downloaded Google Sign In SDK (4.0.1) into my project and added to targets.

5. Linked the necessary frameworks and libraries.

Here is the related project structure:

Firebase
    Analytics
        FirebaseAnalytics.framework
        FirebaseCore.framework
        FirebaseInstanceId.framework
        GoogleInterchangeUtilities.framework
        GoogleSymbolUtilities.framework
        GoogleToolboxForMac.framework
    Auth
        FirebaseAuth.framework
        GTMSessionFetcher.framework
GoogleSignIn
    GoogleAppUtilities.framework
    GoogleSignIn.bundle
    GoogleSignIn.framework
    GoogleSignInDependencies.framework
    GoogleSymbolUtilities.framework (removed as Firebase Analytics already includes it)

Here is the error log (truncated):
