how to resolve the iOS deployment target issue in flutter

Question

I am facing this issue related to IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET while build the flutter application for the ios platform repeatedly, I am not able to understand how should I rectify it

my pod file for the ios flutter project is here

# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '9.0'

# CocoaPods analytics sends network stats synchronously affecting flutter build latency.
ENV['COCOAPODS_DISABLE_STATS'] = 'true'

project 'Runner', {
  'Debug' => :debug,
  'Profile' => :release,
  'Release' => :release,
}

def flutter_root
  generated_xcode_build_settings_path = File.expand_path(File.join('..', 'Flutter', 'Generated.xcconfig'), __FILE__)
  unless File.exist?(generated_xcode_build_settings_path)
    raise "#{generated_xcode_build_settings_path} must exist. If you're running pod install manually, make sure flutter pub get is executed first"
  end

  File.foreach(generated_xcode_build_settings_path) do |line|
    matches = line.match(/FLUTTER_ROOT\=(.*)/)
    return matches[1].strip if matches
  end
  raise "FLUTTER_ROOT not found in #{generated_xcode_build_settings_path}. Try deleting Generated.xcconfig, then run flutter pub get"
end

require File.expand_path(File.join('packages', 'flutter_tools', 'bin', 'podhelper'), flutter_root)

flutter_ios_podfile_setup

target 'Runner' do
  use_frameworks!
  use_modular_headers!

  flutter_install_all_ios_pods File.dirname(File.realpath(__FILE__))
end

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
  end
end

I checked the version setting after opening the project in xcode as well but was not able to understand how should i rectify this. Please guide how the IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET can be fixed

Solution 1

In your ./ios/Podfile uncomment:

# platform :ios, '9.0' 

To

platform :ios, '9.0'

Replace the following to

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
  end
end

by :

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'] = '9.0'
    end
  end
end

Execute the following commands:

flutter clean 
flutter pub get
cd ios && pod install

Now

1. Build the project
2. Close and reopen Xcode

Solution 2

It's because all pods are not targeting iOS 9.0.

You can use this workaround in your Podfile

post_install do |installer|
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
        target.build_configurations.each do |config|
            config.build_settings.delete 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'
        end
    end
end

Normal User or Fresher in Flutter will not understand where to change this all things.

[Abhishek Kumar]

@PratikButani Change this in Flutter Project Directory ==> ios ==> Podfile

[Sawyer Herbst]

This, minus the flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target) line helped with a similar issue with Ionic

[goldensoju]

For flutter apps, flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target) should be added after line installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|.
