Flutter : Not Connecting to IOS Simulator in Android Studio

Question

I am following the Flutter Test Drive tutorial on the Flutter Docs. I installed XCode, cocoapods, ran pods setup etc.

However, in Android Studio, when I try to run IOS by clicking "Run IOS Simulator," it opens the simulator but fails to connect.

I also tried doing this from the terminal. Opened an IOS emulator and then ran flutter run in the app folder in terminal. I got an error No devices attached.

Solution 1

Please check whether you installed the latest version of Xcode.

After the installation, try to run the following command.

sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Solution 2

As other people have suggested, it happens when you update XCode. So, run the command in terminal suggested by Muhammed

sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Then, you probably have to run flutter clean. For it to run properly.

Solution 3

I ran into the same problem but unfortunately, @MUHAMMED IQBAL PA's solution didn't suffice. Running these two commands, however, resolved the problem:

1. As pointed out by others:

   sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
   

2. :

   sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch
   

Solution 4

I fixed this problem by flowing these steps and refreshing the list of simulators

Solution 5

it happened to me when i have updated my Xcode, use this command to let Flutter recognize your Xcode again. sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

I did not need to use this command but instead just needed to restart my MBP and Android Studio was working fine. It happened for me when I updated XCode.

Works! Android Studio immediately after executing this command, detected iPhone simulator.

This works but can you explain what it does as well ?

Alternatively you can set command line tool from Xcode. stackoverflow.com/questions/55745783/…

I'm using flutter. And this works on VS Code as well.
