About compatibility with kreait/firebase-php

[zoghal]

Hi,
When I want to use the kreait/firebase-php package alongside the cakedc/cakephp-api package, I encounter a problem because the cakedc/cakephp-api package uses a restricted version of the lcobucci/jwt package.

composer require "kreait/firebase-php:^7.0" --with-all-dependencies --ignore-platform-reqs
./composer.json has been updated
Running composer update kreait/firebase-php --with-all-dependencies
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Problem 1
- Root composer.json requires cakedc/cakephp-api 10.. -> satisfiable by cakedc/cakephp-api[10.0.0].
- Root composer.json requires kreait/firebase-php ^7.0 -> satisfiable by kreait/firebase-php[7.0.0, ..., 7.18.0].
- cakedc/cakephp-api 10.0.0 requires lcobucci/jwt ~4.0.0 -> satisfiable by lcobucci/jwt[4.0.0, ..., 4.0.4].
- kreait/firebase-php[7.0.0, ..., 7.0.3] require lcobucci/jwt ^4.2.1 -> satisfiable by lcobucci/jwt[4.2.1, 4.3.0].
- kreait/firebase-php[7.1.0, ..., 7.16.0] require lcobucci/jwt ^4.3.0|^5.0 -> satisfiable by lcobucci/jwt[4.3.0, 5.0.0, ..., 5.5.0].
- kreait/firebase-php[7.16.1, ..., 7.18.0] require lcobucci/jwt ^4.3|^5.3 -> satisfiable by lcobucci/jwt[4.3.0, 5.3.0, ..., 5.5.0].
- You can only install one version of a package, so only one of these can be installed: lcobucci/jwt[4.0.0, ..., 4.3.0, 5.0.0, ..., 5.5.0].

Is there a specific reason for this limitation?
Is it possible to upgrade the lcobucci/jwt package to a higher version?
