Flutter : Could not build the precompiled application for the device. Error launching application on iPhone

Solution 1

If you want to simulate it immediately rather than taking care of the IDE issue generally, go to Tools -> Flutter -> Open iOS module in Xcode. But for a further solution, do a Flutter Clean, and remove the simulator from Xcode -> Window -> Devices and Simulators -> Simulators -> right click on your iOS simulator and click delete. Then add a new simulator from the bottom left corner “+” button in the same Devices and Simulators page you are on. Re run your app in flutter and it should be working.

Solution 2

Yes, I also got into this after upgrading to ios 14. So, first, add this to you podfile:

platform :ios, '9.0'

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      # drop deployment target so it works with ios14
      config.build_settings.delete 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
    end
  end
end

and also run: flutter upgrade

For me, these 2 things fixed the problem.

Solution 3

What worked for me was a combination of 4 steps:

Step 1, modify Podfile

# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, '12.1'

and add the following (iOS platform must match):

post_install do |installer|
  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'] = '12.1'
    end
  end
end

Step 2, switch Flutter channel to master and upgrade Flutter

$ flutter channel master
$ flutter upgrade

Step 3, Upgrade dependencies

$ flutter pub upgrade

Step 4, clean and build

$ flutter clean
$ flutter build ios

Solution 4

A coworker told me to run:

flutter clean

then:

flutter pub get

after that it worked for me.

Solution 5

If you previously followed the FlutterFire steps here: https://firebase.flutter.dev/docs/overview#improve-ios-build-times then it is time to disable the pre-compiled version of Firestore stuff and let Xcode compile it from scratch.

In the file ios/Podfile comment this line:

# pod 'FirebaseFirestore', :git => 'https://github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks.git', :tag => '6.26.0'

Run your app and it should work now.

I can't run my flutter project on an IOS device.

This is what I got after flutter run. I can't understand why. Please have a look at the error below and tell me how to fix this.

Could not build the precompiled application for the device.

Error launching application on iPhone.

What can I do to fix this problem? Please give me a command line or sth. Please help me. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

It didn't work for me. Do you have any reference regarding this issue?
Didier Prophete over 3 years

ok, one more thing: edit your ios/Runner.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj and update the IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to be 9.0 (it should appear 3 times in this file). Replace them all.
Didier Prophete over 3 years

Oh man... well, time to wait for ios 15 then :-) Sorry to hear that. Ok, what about completely updating your podfile with: rm -rf ios/Podfile.lock; pod repo update and then a flutter clean?
Didier Prophete over 3 years

Any luck there? (I assume you also do a proper flutter clean before trying these fixes)
Andrey over 3 years

You have a quote missing in your code snippet :) Plus for the latest flutter you need to add config.build_settings.delete to the existing post_install do |installer| section in that file as they don't support two post_install sections. Otherwise, it worked for me, thanks a lot.

what do you consider by "system"?

Your laptop or computer.

Thus worked for me - particularly restarting my Mac. Other answers might suggest to mark the "For install builds only" option - that actually broke things for me, it started complaining about not finding header files - e.g., Flutter.h. So yeah, at least in my case I didn't do that. By the way, the issue started to happen after some update in my Mac.
