Xcode won't use with FLUTTER_BUILD_NAME

Question

Xcode won't build using $(FLUTTER_BUILD_NAME) or $(FLUTTER_BUILD_NUMBER)

Runner -> Target -> Build Settings -> Versioning

Runner -> Target -> General -> Identity

Runner -> Flutter -> Generated.xcconfig

info.plist

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong here? The Generated.xcconfig correctly has the version information from my pub spec.yaml version: 1.0.3+5

But each time I build the version information is null.

Solution

I ran into this issue yesterday and really struggled to find out what's going on my flutter project. I hope my two cents help anyone out there...

One day I manually updated version in xcode (super mistake) then Generated.xcconfig not worked anymore. I still don't know why some settings have changed also but anyway here's solution:

well-working versioning project:

project of the problem:

When I changed the three Runner configuration file to Debug, Release, Release, the version showed up immediately:

ps) I got hint from the chat of @Zholen and @Claudio Redi. Thank you so much. I still don't know which action triggered that settings but I'm going to bed now..

Where do you see version information as null?

[Zholen]

In app it reports it as null+null via package_info. And if I GetInfo from Finder on the build it reports a '--'. If I set the version values myself package_info reports correctly.

[Zholen]

Also, at some point I had to add Runner -> Project -> User-Defined -> FLUTTER_ROOT to build, which would indicate that it is not puling it from Generated.xcconfig either

[Claudio Redi]

Do you have any other xcconfig file in the project? If you do... do they include Generated.xcconfig?

[Zholen]

There is a folder called Flutter that contains Release.xcconfig, Debug.xcconfig, Generated.xcconfig, and AppFrameworkInfo.plist, all of which is generated/managed by Flutter. The 3rd screenshot is of data inside the Generated.xcconfig

[Claudio Redi]

Release.xcconfig and Debug.xcconfig include Generated.xcconfig, right?

[Zholen]

Yes, both files #include Generated.xcconfig as the last line
