Flutter iOS build fail on running pod install

Question

I'm trying to make a flutter plugin, so I created a plugin by steps provided on https://flutter.dev/docs/development/packages-and-plugins/developing-packages. I'm getting an error when I try to run an ios example. Below is the log I'm getting while running the ios example app.

Can anyone help me with this?

If you are using Apple Silicon Chip (M1), you can do this.

cd ios
pod cache clean --all
Pod clean
pod deintegrate
sudo gem install cocoapods-deintegrate cocoapods-clean

sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi
arch -x86_64 pod repo update
arch -x86_64 pod install

Got the issue. when we create a plugin by command on the terminal it creates a plugin with default Java for Android and Objective-C for iOS. It can be changed to Kotlin for Android and Swift for iOS by using a command, but it will add support to only android/ and ios/ in the root folder. This does not change the example code in example/ directory. The provided examples are still in Java for Android and Objective-C for iOS. So then I created a plugin from Android Studio, I created a Swift support for iOS by checking an option 'Include Swift support for ios code', it created an example with swift instead of Objective-C. Then the issue is solved.

I faced this problem too. Then I realized that this is a problem with "pod install". And found a solution here https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/10723

sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi

And run:

arch -x86_64 pod install

instead of

pod install

I faced this problem every time when I change my project one pc to another,

I follow this steps to solve that,

1.

Delete podfile.lock

2.replace this

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
  end
end

with

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings.delete 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'
    end
    flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
  end
end

3.run

flutter clean
flutter run

Thanks, it's work for me. If u me this bug when push and pull code from git, try this solution. fast and efficient — Trịnh Đức Duy, Jul 25 '23 at 03:35

You need to set your Swift Version since flutter_plugin did not specify a Swift version by default

In your ios/Podfile add

config.build_settings['SWIFT_VERSION'] = '4.1'  # required by simple_permission

In the following manner:

target 'Runner' do
  use_frameworks!  # required by simple_permission
  ...
end

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings['SWIFT_VERSION'] = '4.1'  # required by simple_permission
      config.build_settings['ENABLE_BITCODE'] = 'NO'
    end
  end
end

You may also check out this github thread and this stackoverflow discussion for further details regarding why this occurred.

I added a user-defined build setting for the Runner on the project level name SWIFT-VERSION. Nothing else worked for me.

Do not worry. There is a simple solution to it. Create this file — AppResources/iOS/Podfile and add this into the file

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings['SWIFT_VERSION'] = '4.0'
     end
   end
end

That’s it your project’s SWIFT_VERSION has been set.
