Building our Flutter project fails on iOS. The following steps work without problems:
running on the XCode simulator (flutter run)
building in the terminal (flutter build ios)
running on a real device in debug mode (flutter run -d "abcd")
If I open the project in XCode, change the build target to "Generic iOS Device" and hit "Build" or "Archive" I get the following error:
/Users/.../development/testproject/ios/Runner/GeneratedPluginRegistrant.m:6:9: 'flutter_exif_rotation/FlutterExifRotationPlugin.h' file not found
After removing the FlutterExifRotationPlugin, the error reoccurs with the next plugin alphabetically, so I figured that plugins in general don't work at the moment.
I tried:
dev, stable and master channels of flutter
reinstalling XCode
reinstalling Flutter
create a new project and moving the old files there
But nothing worked so far.
Ok the solution was very simple. I had to open the .xcworkspace file instead of the .xcodeproject one.
One WEEK went down the pipe for this error. I hope that you, future reader, will find this comment useful.

I'm on an M1 Mac Mini, Monterey 12.0.1, with XCode 13.1 & it's command-line tools and freshly-installed Flutter MacOS 2.8.0. I create a base Flutter project with
flutter create appname
When I do "flutter run" in the ios folder (in the parent folder it launches ok in Chrome), I get the message:
Could not build the application for the simulator.
Error launching application on iPhone 13.
I tried it with the simulator running, and not. It looks like the Runner XCode project build stages runs a script, xcode_backend.sh. I also tried loading the project in the XCode UI to build and get 'Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code' on that script.
If I go and run this script directly, from the project folder of the ios folder:
guy#Guys-Mac-mini ios % /bin/sh "$FLUTTER_ROOT/packages/flutter_tools/bin/xcode_backend.sh"
I get the message:
error: Your Xcode project is incompatible with this version of Flutter. Run "rm -rf ios/Runner.xcodeproj" and "flutter create ." to regenerate.
I tried the steps indicated, which I also found on Google, and removed the folder and regenerated the project, but the same message is appearing. (I did export the FLUTTER_ROOT environment variable, both in the shell and it's also defined in the XCode project settings.
I can build and run the flutter apps to Chrome, but not for the iOS simulator. I also have no problem building and running Swift apps I've coded on the simulator.
I got my Windows and Android setup running in minutes, but on the M1 Mac it's been hours without success. Any ideas?
I'm a developer with decent of experience, but this is my first stab at Flutter and cross-platform (other than Xamarin). Any help is appreciated.
I can't fully explain it, but the problem I was having was related to my having the project files on an SMB share I was accessing from the Mac.
I setup the project on an SMB share so I could access it from my Windows and Mac workstations. I found that any flutter project on that share would fail compilation.
To test this, I created a new flutter app on my Mac Documents folder, comiled and ran it succesfully in the iOS simulator using 'flutter run'. When I moved that project to the SMB share and tried to run it, I got the compilation error again, and it wouldn't run (I also tried clean and run). I moved the project back to the local drive Documents folder, and was able to run it again.
I also noticed that the Mac access to the SMB share is painfully slow, though I tried a required_signon fixes from
https://kb.synology.com/en-us/DSM/tutorial/What_can_I_do_to_fix_slow_SMB_file_transfers_on_OS_X_10_11_5 but it didn't help.
I had even tried to factory reset my Mac, and I thought that fixed it, but it was only because I hadn't connected to the share yet, and made a test project on the local drive.
PS: I don't expect to use the exact same Flutter project between the Mac and Windows workstations because of paths and SDK locations, but I am using it as a convenient place for transfering the source files.
My team was able to solve this by supplying an absolute path to the xcode_backend script in a run phase and running it. Running it once seemed to be enough and we could remove it thereafter:
/bin/sh "/absolute-path-to-flutter/packages/flutter_tools/bin/xcode_backend.sh" thin
/bin/sh "/absolute-path-to-flutter/packages/flutter_tools/bin/xcode_backend.sh" embed
I'm trying to build my Flutter app for iOS using xCode and got error:
.../ios/Runner/GeneratedPluginRegistrant.m:10:9: Module 'sqflite' not found
When I'm trying to build application with flutter with command
flutter build ios
I don't have any problem. Application build successfully.
I tried to delete Pod directory in ios folder and then install pods from scratch
flutter pub get
pod install
How to fix this problem with xCode?
XCode gives this type of Error like Module 'something' not found, when sometimes the problem is somewhere else.
So, what I did is after running flutter build ios command, I didn't try to run it in XCode. Because it was giving these errors.
So, I archived the app and tried to publish in App Store Connect. Then I found the real issue/bug on my code.
App store doesn't support transparent logo or app icon. This was the bug in my case.
So you can try to archive and publish to app store connect. It may show you the real reason.
Change your target Destination to > Any iOS Device
This work for me
"I found the solution,
In the existing project, once you guys add sqflite dependencies
Profile file in IOS folder will not generate code
we need to remove Podfile in ios
rm ios/Podfile
and run the project again, it works for me."

I'm trying to run my flutter app on the IOS simulator and its not working. So tried on the most basic flutter app (create my_app and then tried to run it) and nothing seem to work!
Everything seems to work fine when I run it from the terminal until the linking and signing phase and that where I get the error, how can I fix it?
This is the error I get:

Edit:
I updated my MacOS, Deeleted and reinstalled Xcode, I even tried to run the most simple swift app and I get always this same error, it looks like the build was successful but it unable to install. I still get this same error, what can I do?
This occurred when I opened the Simulator first and then updated XCode -- even without running the app until after XCode updated completely.
What worked for me:
Close Simulator completely (from the dock, right-click -> "Quit")
Close XCode (if applicable)
Run flutter clean
Re-open Simulator
Re-open XCode and let it compile
Run the app again
If it still does not work, try resetting the device at "Device" -> "Erase All Content and Settings..." from the Simulator menu.
I had the same issue a couple of days ago
What I did - and what fixed the problem - was to reset the simulator (Device -> Erase All Content and Settings), and then run $ flutter clean
You should now be able to run your app again
None of the above worked for me. I created another flutter application and copied it's ios folder to my project. Worked like a charm
Save time, just go to erase device content and settings from the emulator, then run flutter clean. App should run fine then.
Run flutter clean and then run your app again
If error persist, generate a new flutter project on Android studio. Replace the ${projectHome}/ios/Runner.xcodeproj folder with the ${newFlutterProjectHome}/iOS/Runner.xcodeproj. Your app should run fine now.
If error persist still, delete the ios folder and replace it with a new one copied from a freshly generated project.
This happens if the GoogleService-Info.plist is missing.
This also happens when you have updated your XCode and your simulator is in the background.
Close the simulator and open the Xcode, you will get an option to install additional tools, install them and then run the application.
An alternate solution is to run the Runner.xcworkspace app once from Xcode and this may fix it.
In my case it was because of hanging empty GoogleService-Info.plist file inside Xcode after migrating to new Firebase (FlutterFire) initialization.
Xcode is not a regular drag and drop IDE which directly maps project files to the ones in the file system. It rather caches file references. So even when you delete a .plist file, the Xcode still maintains a reference to it.
Simply opened Xcode IDE and removed .plist file (which updated project.pbxproj in turn). This helped me to compile the project fine.
I had this same issue recently. I found out I added my GoogleService-info.plist file to the subdirectory Runner and not the main Project directory Runner through xcode. I opened up xcode again, deleted the file and re-added it to the proper place and now everything is working correctly.
for this you have to give some value in CfBundleVersionShortString like
<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
<string>1.0</string>
And Give the build value in Runner as 1.0 and version as 1.0
enter image description here
To be honest. it's really frustrating for the developers
This is how I fixed!
flutter clean
flutter pub get
go to ios folder
rm Podfile.lock
pod repo update
pod install
Then it works!
yesterday I was working fine with Flutter, now i'm facing this issue and I already search everywhere for a solution but no success.
When I run:
flutter run
The build process starts and when its about to finish the error below is shown:
Launching lib/main.dart on iPhone 11 Pro Max in debug mode...
Xcode build done. 12.3s
Failed to build iOS app

Exited (sigterm)
Looks like the process is trying to open this file Session.modulevalidation for writing, but this file really does not exist in that folder. And I don't know what to do.
Things that I already tried:
Reinstalling xcode
flutter clean
Clone my project again in another folder and try to build, but same error
Created a new flutter dummy project and tried to build, still same error
Rebooting machine several times
Give permissions to Staff to the DerivedData and ModuleCache.noindex folders
Deleted the DerivedData within hope that xcode build will recreate all the files needed, but, it created everything again but not that particular file.
So that's it, If any blessed human know how to 'recreate', or reset, clear some cache, I would be very thankful.
Before running your project, check everything is checked when running:
flutter doctor
and also make sure at least a device is connected or open iOS simulator first. You can check if flutter is successfully connected to the device by:
flutter devices
when you make sure that flutter detect your device or the simulator, then run your application by:
flutter run
After hours I finally found the solution as it follows:
Without any hope I opened my flutter project with Xcode, and then tried to build the Runner target from there, same error.
Then, I was browsing the Xcode preferences and something caught my attention, on Locations section I found something about DerivedData location, it was set as Default. So, I changed from Default to Custom location and I set to a new folder on my home directory:
Then immediately Xcode created the entire DerivedData/ModuleCache.noindex folder and with them, the Session.modulevalidation file as well.
Then I closed Xcode and tried flutter run again, and it was successfully build!
I'll let this answer to those who may come here for help.
I am running my React-Native iOS project with Xcode but I don't know which change effects it and my I notices that my Xcode is crashed then I try to open it inside Xcode but it crashes every time then I deleted derived data and also xcuserdata from .xcodeproj file but no success I also tried to use this command "defaults delete com.apple.dt.Xcode" but again no luck I have also looked into .xcodeproj file for conflicts but there is no conflicts I try to run my project with command line but again got this message.
"error Failed to build iOS project. We ran `xcodebuild` command but it exited with error code null. To debug build logs further, consider building your app with Xcode.app, by opening `.xcodeproj`
Can anyone please suggest me a solution for this ?
Delete derived data of xcode and also of project.
react-native run-ios
"error Failed to build iOS project. We ran "xcodebuild" command but it exited with error code null. To debug build logs further, consider building your app with Xcode.app, by opening Raydan.xcodeproj"
I tried almost everything on the internet like.
Deleting Xcode derived data.
Try with .workspace file.
Deleting xcuserData.
but nothing works, At last, I found this problem with react-native-fast-image, upgrading to react-native-fast-image v7.0.0 was causing the problem so downgrading react-native-fast-image to v5.1.2 works for me.
here is the issue reported in their Github.
https://github.com/DylanVann/react-native-fast-image/issues/527
In my personal experience working with React-Native and XCode you should try deleting the build folder for android and/or iOS for whichever you are using it for. Every time you run your code it should re-create a new build once it is deleted.
