Troubleshooting Xcode 15 Build Issues in Flutter Projects
Uncovering solutions to common issues faced when updating to Xcode 15 in a Flutter project using an older version of CocoaPods.
Updating to Xcode 15 brought a few hurdles in my Flutter project, especially since I was using an older version of CocoaPods, below version 1.13. Here's a breakdown of how I navigated through these issues and got my project back on track.
Step 1: Update Podfile (Flutter / Xcode 15)
Update your Podfile with the following snippet:
RUBY
post_install do |installer|
installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
target.build_configurations.each do |config|
xcconfig_path = config.base_configuration_reference.real_path
xcconfig = File.read(xcconfig_path)
xcconfig_mod = xcconfig.gsub(/DT_TOOLCHAIN_DIR/, "TOOLCHAIN_DIR")
File.open(xcconfig_path, "w") { |file| file << xcconfig_mod }
end
end
installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
target.build_configurations.each do |config|
config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '13.0'
end
end
end
Step 2: Update Build Phases
- Open Xcode
- Click "Runner" in the project navigator
- Navigate to Targets (Runner in the sidebar)
- Click on Build Phases (found in the top bar)
- Move "Embed App Extension" above the Run Script step
Step 3: Run Flutter Clean
Once the above changes are done, clean your project with the following command:
BASH
flutter clean
You should now be able to successfully build and run your project.
