Flutter : iOS build failed

Question

I'm new to iOS development using flutter and just recently switch from android to iOS in flutter.

I got below error when the project was run for first time in mac, it does not gives any error on Android and runs successfully.

Could not build the application for the simulator.

Also tried,

• pod install
• iOS folder recreate using flutter create

but nothing works

Edit :

After setting IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to 9.0, gives below output,

Solution

There seems to have been some changes in Xcode 13.3, released on March 14, 2022. Downgrading to 13.2.1 was a viable workaround for me.

[OMi Shah]

Does this answer your question? The iOS Simulator deployment targets is set to 7.0, but the range of supported deployment target version for this platform is 8.0 to 12.1

[Saurabh D Vyas]

In xcode it shows iOS deployment target settled to 12.0

[OMi Shah]

Read the solution from the link.

[Saurabh D Vyas]

Yes I tried that previously (forgot to mention in description) but gives same output

Here is an answer I posted on a similar post - stackoverflow.com/a/71699463/6184696 - ultimately you had really bad luck switching to iOS in flutter this month.
