Flutter error: "CocoaPods not installed or not in valid state."
Solution 1
The bug is fixed in Bumblebee 2021.1.1 Patch #1 (released 2022 February 9).
Solution 2
A response on IssueTracker says
This problem is present with Android Studio Bumblebee on Mac. Launching flutter from the IDE causes this issue where it can't find the Cocoapods path.
Forced to run flutter from terminal for it to work.
Here's how run your project from the CLI on the iOS simulator. cd
into your project directory and run:
flutter emulators --launch apple_ios_simulator
flutter run lib/main.dart
To run your project on a connected iPhone from the CLI:
flutter devices
You'll see a list of emulators and your iPhone. Now run:
flutter run -d 00008030-0010783414089022
with your iPhone's ID, not mine.
That will launch lib/main.dart
on your iPhone.

I try to idiotproof my code but some customers always outsmart me.

Could the problem be that Android Studio can't find the path to CocoaPods?
I'm trying to test my app on my iPhone from Android Studio. The error I get is
Warning: CocoaPods not installed. Skipping pod install. CocoaPods is used to retrieve the iOS and macOS platform side's plugin code that responds to your plugin usage on the Dart side. Without CocoaPods, plugins will not work on iOS or macOS. For more info, see https://flutter.dev/platform-plugins To install see https://guides.cocoapods.org/using/getting-started.html#installation for instructions. Exception: CocoaPods not installed or not in valid state.
I ran
gem list
and the list of installed gems include:gem list cocoapods (1.11.2) cocoapods-core (1.11.2) cocoapods-deintegrate (1.0.5) cocoapods-downloader (1.5.1) cocoapods-plugins (1.0.0) cocoapods-search (1.0.1) cocoapods-trunk (1.6.0) cocoapods-try (1.2.0)
I ran
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods && sudo gem install cocoapods
I ran
flutter clean
I restarted Android Studio.
I ran
File > Invalidate Caches… > Invalidate and Restart
.I ran
cd ios pod install
This threw this error:
[!] CocoaPods did not set the base configuration of your project because your project already has a custom config set. In order for CocoaPods integration to work at all, please either set the base configurations of the target `Runner` to `Target Support Files/Pods-Runner/Pods-Runner.profile.xcconfig` or include the `Target Support Files/Pods-Runner/Pods-Runner.profile.xcconfig` in your build configuration (`Flutter/Release.xcconfig`).
The Stack Overflow answers about that error message say to fix the issue in Xcode. But when I try to open my Android Studio project in Xcode I get this error:
Could not open file. (/Users/TDK/StudioProjects/Kabbalah)
Here's an odd thing. When I uninstall
cocoapods
they don't go away:sudo gem uninstall cocoapods Remove executables: pod, sandbox-pod in addition to the gem? [Yn] Removing pod Removing sandbox-pod Successfully uninstalled cocoapods-1.11.2 ➜ Kabbalah git:(main) ✗ gem list *** LOCAL GEMS *** abbrev (default: 0.1.0) activesupport (6.1.4.4) addressable (2.8.0) algoliasearch (1.27.5) atomos (0.1.3) base64 (default: 0.1.0) benchmark (default: 0.1.1) bigdecimal (default: 3.0.0) bundler (default: 2.2.32) bundler-unload (1.0.2) CFPropertyList (3.0.5) cgi (default: 0.2.1) claide (1.1.0, 1.0.3) cocoapods (1.11.2) cocoapods-core (1.11.2) cocoapods-deintegrate (1.0.5) cocoapods-downloader (1.5.1) cocoapods-plugins (1.0.0) cocoapods-search (1.0.1) cocoapods-trunk (1.6.0) cocoapods-try (1.2.0)
What do I do next? In case this wasn't obvious, I don't know how to use Xcode.

Thomas David Kehoe about 2 yearsI don't think you can do hot restart through the terminal. I was able to test my app on my iPhone but I wouldn't want to make a lot of changes without the IDE.
