iOS App with Cocoapods error - .xcworkspace in Xcode does not show Podfile and Pods folder is empty

I have an iOS application which in which I have installed cocoapods. It has all been working fine for years. However after a couple of recent branches and merges, I ended up with lots of errors relating to the files in Pods. I tried to fix everything but had an error that I was unable to fix, so I decided that the best solution would be to reinstall cocoapods.

I did this with

pod deintegrate

pod install.

However, I now have a problem where, when I open the .xcworkspace from my project folder, the Pods folder is in red and empty, and the podfile is not shown in the directory at all. However, when I look at the folder on my computer, the podfile is there and the Pods folder is populated.

So my project folder on my computer contains the .xcworkspace, the podfile and the Pods folder but when I open the .xcworkspace in Xcode, it appears that the podfile and Pods folder are not linked to it.

The error in Xcode currently is "Module 'Firebase' not found"

I have tried all of the following again and again to the point where it is driving me crazy, but the problem still persists.

I am able to successfully rebuild the pod file and reinstall pods on all occasions, but whatever I have tried, when I open the .xcworkspace in Xcode I can't see the podfile and the Pods folder is empty even though these items are in the project folder.

I've searched for solutions and tried everything I can find to no avail. Please can someone point me in the right direction!

Does the project work if you go back to an older commit/branch?
