No type or protocol named 'FlutterPluginRegistrar'

Question

Flutter issues on ios In XCode, Some library (SharedPreferences, Apple Sign-In) is showing errors:

No type or protocol named 'FlutterPluginRegistrar'

I already tried with: flutter clean, pod update, I cleaned pub-cache and reinstalled all the libraries, the only thing I did not do is delete the pod folder of the ios project (I did it once and then I could not recover the project)

** BUILD FAILED **

Solution

I've struggled with this for some time, and I've found that eleomilagrosa's solution from here works:

I found out that the ios/Flutter/Flutter.framework got corrupted the files were all empty or blank.

to fix it,just copy existing ios/Flutter/Flutter.framework from other working Flutter projects you have.
then overwrite the corrupted ios/Flutter/Flutter.framework then build again

Reason:
Flutter.framework got corrupted.

How to identify if your Flutter.framework got corrupted?

open ios/Flutter/Flutter.framework/Headers/Flutter.h if this file is empty or blank.

did you resolve this issue?

[Darwin Castillo]

yes, first i update flutter, update all libraries in pubspec.yaml, clean again pub-cache, remove pods, and re-install pods (pod install).

[Farhana Naaz Ansari]

thanks, I had to make another project and paste all code there.

i have another problem, about sign in apple and apple store review, but isn't about this issue
