I am receiving this message with a rejection when I submit my app for review on the App Store:
"Specifically, your app displayed a white, blank screen when we launched your app."
When I test the app on device, everything appears to be working fine. I have tried the following to test:
flutter build ios
flutter run
flutter build ios --release
flutter run
Test with VSCode's run feature.
Run in xcode onto physical device both in Debug and Release schema settings
If I archive, and upload the same build to Testflight, the app can be installed and ran without issue on several different devices.
While all of these methods work on my physical iphone, when I run
flutter build ios --release
open xcode
archive
upload with Organizer in xcode
The app is rejected by Apple. I searched around and found nothing that solves my issues. Any suggestions or good next steps?

Recently I've joined a project of a flutter app using firebase, and everything was fine until it comes to make the production builds. For Android it works fine. But for ios I'm facing a problem that in the simulator it runs without a problem but when I uploaded it to Testflight for my coworkers to test it immediately crashes when opened.
That's my flutter doctor -v:

And the crash report that a tester of testflight sent to me:
crashlog.crash
I've already tested some things that I found googling, like add the Google-Services.plist again using xcode and verified if the schemas to the archive were pointing to release mode. But none of them worked.
If any additional data is needed, I'll be glad to provide. So thanks in advance for any help.
Well, I found the error. I had changed the Flutter version using git (thus, the Flutter folder is a git repository). When I changed the version, it left the cache from the other Flutter version, and that cache was causing the problem.
One thing that helped me to find this out was running the release build in a physical device using Xcode; there it prompt me the following error:
Error while initializing the Dart VM: Wrong full snapshot version, expected '9cf77f4405212c45daf608e1cd646852' found 'e4a09dbf2bb120fe4674e0576617a0dc'
And for that, I found a solution on the web. What I did was to remove the folder cache inside <yourFlutterDir>/bin and run the following commands in the Flutter directory:
git reset --hard
git clean -xffd
flutter doctor
And then, I went to my Flutter project folder, ran flutter clean, and finally flutter build ios.
So the project built successfully, and the app worked in iOS.
After updating my iPhone 11 to iOS version 14.7.1, my flutter app is not launching anymore.
Steps already performed:
flutter clean
flutter pub get
flutter run
Also,
uninstalled and reinstalled the app
restarted the phone
output:

Is anybody facing the same issue? Any idea how to fix this?
Thank you
You have runtime error just before your first screen renders, try putting breakpoint in the first line of the main and debug line by line.
I was able to fix the issue. It seems to be a random issue that happens time to time when updating either the flutter version or iOS...
Here's how I fixed the issue:
==>> you can also get inspired by this thread: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/72161
However, what worked for me was very simple as I am using vs code:
uninstalled the app
restarted the phone
open the app using Xcode
Product -> Clean Build Folder
Product -> Run
The app will launch correctly, then quit Xcode
After that, I run the app using vs code, and now it works as before.
I have problem with archiving my project in Xcode, it fails and throws an error: Module 'firebase_admob' not found
Build project: $flutter build ios
Select Product > Archive
Also I had to rollback Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK version from the newest 8.0.0 to 7.69.0 to make $flutter build ios work as described here
I've already cleaned and updated pods:
$flutter clean
$rm ios/podfile.lock
$rm ios/podfile
$pod update
$flutter pub get
I set target version to 12.0 in Podfile and Xcode settings.
For now I can build my project with $flutter build ios command but I can't archive it in Xcode for further distribution.

One way to get around this is to build ipa file. You have to change Flutter's channel to the beta or master and upgrade to the latest version:
$flutter channel beta
$flutter upgrade
Then you should use the new feature of build tool:
$flutter build ipa
It generates archive in your project folder: <app_name>/build/ios/archive/<provisioning_profile_name>.xcarchive
So, you can open generated archive (i.e. My Test App.xcarchive) with Xcode and then validate it and upload to AppStore Connect as usual.
Steps to Reproduce
Simply trying to publish my app to ios store. Already available on Play store.
I cannot archive in Xcode, constantly running into issues. Currently have these issues when attempting to archive:
When attempting to run pod install in the ios directory, I continue to get this warning (which according to my research seems to be more of an error):
I tried following everything in this very long thread thread to resolve this issue, but nothing has worked.
I was able to remove another warning by uncommenting line #2 in the Podfile, platform :ios, '9.0'.
I have tried closing Xcode while making changes, and have tried restarting my computer.
I can flutter run and the app will work correctly on my iPhone when it is connected to my macbook.

https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/48103
https://github.com/X-Wei/flutter_catalog/issues/26
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/28870
Expected results:
I can successfully archive in Xcode.
Actual results:
Flutter doctor seems to indicate everything is fine, but I continue to get this errors when trying to archive.

I'm using Flutter with Android-Studio, everything was working great (i.e. compiling and deploying to iOS simulators except until I installed Fastlane Tools. The building process now is broken somehow! I'm not sure if it's from Fastlane or something else though, but now I'm stuck and cannot deploy to iOS anymore.
Steps taken/tried already:
Removing XCode & CommandLineTools (using this post: Complete removal old XCode)
Reinstalling XCode 9.2 (from AppStore)
Reinstalling CommandLineTools for XCode 9.2 (dl from developer tools page)
Reinstalling/updating ios-deply using:
npm install -g ios-deploy --unsafe-perm=true

Any suggestions, please?
This answer is for the ones who are still trying to work with Xcode 9.2. Starting April, 2020, all apps submitted to the App Store will need to be built with Xcode 11. So don't try to build your Flutter IOS App with XCode 9.2.
Flutter is also changing rapidly therefore, it is better to use the latest XCode version to avoid any deprecated API issue.
