Old iMessage in iCloud Photos Not Downloadable

Trying to solve this problem. I have several photos of my daughter from years ago in iMessages. My iPad Pro and iPhone will see the files and lets me download them, but because of how old the threads are, is very buggy when scrolling back four years. Only my Mac will not allow me to download them.

I'm trying to do this on my mac, but the photos appear like the image above in messages. I have tried all of the basics, signing out of imessage, cycling and ensuring Enable in iCloud is turned on. Does anyone have any experience with this?

VSCode/Terminal Flutter Doctor Disparity

I am having issues building iOS targets in VSCode. When I run flutter doctor in VSCode I get the following:

Doctor summary (to see all details, run flutter doctor -v):

your current Flutter SDK checkout at /Users/andrewbarton/Development/Flutter/SDK/flutter. Consider adding

I can not figure out how to get VSCode to find CocoaPods. They're pointing to the same .zshrc, and giving me different outputs.
