Flutter: Runner.app/Info.plist does not exist. The Flutter "Thin Binary" build phase must run after "Copy Bundle Resources"

Question

After upgrading flutter to flutter 1.22.4. I am getting the below error while building the Xcode Project.

Runner.app/Info.plist does not exist. The Flutter "Thin Binary" build phase must run after "Copy Bundle Resources".

Already tried the below options:

• Flutter clean and run.
• Removed derived data, clean project, and rebuild.
• • rm -Rf ios/Pods
  • rm ios/Podfile
  • rm -Rf ios/.symlinks
  • rm -Rf ios/Flutter/Flutter.podspec
  • rm -Rf ios/Flutter/Flutter.framework
  • flutter run

After trying all the above options still getting the same error.

Answer 1

In Xcode Menu, choose "Product" > "Clean Build Folder".

Run the project again, it solved the issue.

Answer 2

Solution

---

Go to Runner(target app) > Build Phases > Run Script and update the run script with the one below.

 /bin/sh "$FLUTTER_ROOT/packages/flutter_tools/bin/xcode_backend.sh" build.

Also, verify that Runner(target app) > Build Phases > Thin Binary contains below scripts as suggested in XCode 11.4 Support by the flutter team.

/bin/sh "$FLUTTER_ROOT/packages/flutter_tools/bin/xcode_backend.sh" embed
/bin/sh "$FLUTTER_ROOT/packages/flutter_tools/bin/xcode_backend.sh" thin

Answer 3

There are 2 steps to fix the issue after turn on your terminal window:

-You must navigate to your project folder that you already build with Flutter -Then you will run as below :

1. $ flutter clean

2. $ flutter pub get

Then you build with the IOS simulator again. The issue will be solved.

Reason: You have a clash between Xcode versions (old-new) in your app folder. You should clean the old one first and then rebuild it with the new one.

Answer 4

I went with @Dhaval Kansara's suggestion and the error was still there. But after a clean build the problem went away.

Answer 5

flutter clean in the project folder solved it for me
