Xcode build is missing expected TARGET_BUILD_DIR build setting

Question

I face error while launching on device on iPhone 12 Pro Max. This is console log

Launching lib/main.dart on iPhone 12 Pro Max in `debug mode`
Running Xcode build...
Xcode build done.                                           270.9s
Xcode build is missing expected TARGET_BUILD_DIR build setting.
Could not build the application for the simulator.
Error launching application on iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Solution

I just ran into this and fixed it as follows:

• run command flutter upgrade
• run command flutter clean
• run command flutter pub get if you have missing dependencies
• attach phone
• run command flutter run

If it still fails, open the Xcode runner project, set your development team and run it directly from there.

After it runs, close Xcode, do a clean build, and run it using your preferred approach.

No need to call flutter upgrade in my case.

In my case, After running flutter clean, dependencies were missing so need to run "flutter pub get"
