Error building iOS app with Flutter - Missing DVTPlugInCompatibilityUUID plugin - ios

Question

I shipped a build before the weekend everything works fine, I come back on Monday, impossible to build. I'm stuck on this for the past few days, I've been trying most of the stuff from the internet I can't seem to find a solution.
XCode build is failing specifying missing plugins (form the base Flutter install I'm guessing):
[ ] Xcode build done. 50.6s
[ ] Failed to build iOS app
[ ] Error output from Xcode build:
↳

** BUILD FAILED **
It then generates error concerning Riverpod

What I have tried so far:
flutter clean
flutter pub cache repair
Rebuilding the iOS folder
cleaning the build folder
pod update && pod install
flutter upgrade
check the use of !use_frameworks in podfile
And other configuration changes in XCode such as the script 'for install only', etc...
The only thing I see would be that the problem is coming from a package that I'm using, such as Firebase Core. They had a similar problem a year ago or so where we had to downgrade the package version in order to build and the error was similar, the problem here is that I tried to downgrade from 1.2.1 to 0.7.0 but the problem persists until it generates dependencies issues.
Same kind of issue happended with flutter_svg I think, it was due to a breaking change making it mandatory to either update flutter_svg or downgrade flutter.
Also, could it be that I have not migrated to sound null safety yet ?
If you have an idea on how to debug this, that would be very helpful. (Some stuff that I can run to have more infos regarding the error for example).
Here are my flutter doctor and pubspec files:

EDIT: It seems to be coming from riverpod 0.12.4.
Updating it to the latest version generated another error but that requires code refactoring, I will update if the issue is resolved after the refactoring.

Answer 1

After reviewing every dependencies one by one I found the culprit.
The issue was coming from riverpod 0.12.4, updating it to the latest version fixed the issue.
In addition a refactor was necessary in order to make the app working and fix the breaking changes due to the new 0.14.0 version.
