Error running pod install Error launching application on iPhone X.

My setup: VS Code, Flutter

If you don't have Podfile.lock file and pod update doesn't help, try this:

1. Go to ios/Pods/Local Podspecs directory in your project
2. Check every json file to find highest required ios version. Mine was "ios": "10.0" in some of them
3. Go back to ios/ directory
4. Open Podfile file
5. Uncomment # platform :ios, '9.0' and replace 9.0 with version from 2. step, for example 10.0.
   • # platform :ios, '9.0' > platform :ios, '10.0'
6. Run pod install and the error should be gone

pod update

Should do the trick. You're welcome :-)

On mac M1 (in ios folder), try arch -x86_64 pod update. Worked for me

I have a similar issue. Set Project, Target and Podfile to iOS 12 and get failure.

Here's my Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '12.0'
use_frameworks!

abstract_target 'all_pods' do
    pod 'Alamofire'
    pod 'AlamofireImage'
    pod 'AlamofireNetworkActivityIndicator'
    pod 'Atributika'
    pod 'AXPhotoViewer'
	pod 'Cache'
	pod 'Crashlytics'
    pod 'Fabric'
    pod 'Firebase/Core'
    pod 'Firebase/Messaging'
    pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK'
    pod 'GTMNSStringHTMLAdditions'
    pod 'KVLoading'
    pod 'MGSwipeTableCell'
    pod 'ReachabilitySwift'
    pod 'SDCAlertView'
    pod 'SideMenuSwift'
    pod 'SwiftyJSON'
    pod 'SwiftyUserDefaults'
    pod 'UIImageViewAlignedSwift'

target 'Test Poject' do
#    all_pods
end

end

First deintegrate to be sure

pod deintegrate

Run forced repo update

pod install --repo-update

I got a similar error:

What did not work for me:

As per the other answers, I went to the Podfile & updated:

• from: # platform :ios, '9.0'
• to: platform :ios, '13.0'

Then tried flutter run again but this time it was stuck at:

> Running Xcode build....

The wait was unnatural & my patience grew thin so I discarded this change & looked for another solution.

---

Finally, What worked for me:

1. flutter clean
2. flutter pub get
3. flutter run

No need to modify Podfile to specify a minimum ios target 

For Mac with M1 chip (2022) :

What did the trick :

• Change platform :ios, '9.0' to platform :ios, '11.0' in your Podfile file in <project>/ios/
• Then update as follow : arch -x86_64 pod install --repo-update in your terminal (<project>/ios/)

All the dependencies and pods will be installed !

Enjoy !

just on pod file UnComment

# platform :ios, '9.0'

and replease it with platform :ios, '10.0'

then delete Podfile.lock and reInstall your app

For Those who have an Apple Mac with M1 chip :

-> try this sequence hope you see... pods are installing.

1. sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi
2. arch -x86_64 pod install or 
arch -x86_64 pod update
 or arch -x86_64 pod install --repo-update

I had the same issue but this helped me.

pod 'Firebase/Core', '>= 0'
pod 'FirebaseCrashlytics', '>= 0'

It will update both FirebaseCore and FirebaseCrashlytics to the latest versions

These 3 steps worked for me.

1. Upgrade cocoapods to latest version:

   sudo gem install cocoapods

2. Delete /Pods folder and Podfile.lock file

3. Run pod repo update

if you are running on Mac M1 chip , try run this command :

arch -x86_64 pod install --repo-update 

I had this issue:

To fix the problem, I opened the Podfile. Then

1. I uncommented platform: ios, '8.0' and replaced it by platform :ios, '10.0', as mentioned in the other answers.

2. I replaced the following code:

target 'Runner' do
  pod 'FirebaseFirestore', :git => 'https://github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks.git', :tag => '8.3.0'
  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

With this code:

target 'Runner' do
  use_frameworks!
  use_modular_headers!

  flutter_install_all_ios_pods File.dirname(File.realpath(__FILE__))
  pod 'Firebase/Core'
  pod 'Firebase/Crashlytics'
  pod 'Firebase/Analytics'
end

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'] = '10.0'
      config.build_settings['EXPANDED_CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY'] = ""
      config.build_settings['CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED'] = "NO"
      config.build_settings['CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED'] = "NO"
    end
  end
end

3. In Terminal, I ran the following command in the ios folder.

$ pod install

Everything went well. I didn't see any issue but a lot of green logs which basically are related to Installing FirebaseX... and at the end I got this message:

Pod installation complete! There are 8 dependencies from the Podfile and 24 total pods installed.

I had a similar issue with firebase Admob and my problem was that I was using both admob_flutter and firebase_admob packages. Once I removed the admob_flutter package from pubspec.yaml and everything works perfectly!

To fix the problem (Intelli J)

1. Check in IOS flutter folder Podfile.lock is generated.

2. Run 'flutter doctor -v' to identify version of the Flutter,Dart,Xcode and CocoaPods version.

3. Incase cocoa pods are not found, follow install commands.

   sudo gem uninstall cocoapods brew uninstall cocoapods

   sudo gem install cocoapods pod setup

4. In Podfile - Uncommented platform: ios, '9.0' and replaced it by platform :ios, '10.0'.

5. Run the build

   Launching lib/main.dart on iPhone 12 Pro Max in debug mode... Running pod install... Running Xcode build... Xcode build done.

enter image description here

For me worked this:

1. go to file %project%/ios/.symlinks/plugins/firebase_core/ios/firebase_sdk_version.rb
2. change this def firebase_sdk_version!() '8.7.0' end for def firebase_sdk_version!() '8.5.0' end
3. run pod install

I had to update in Podfile.
pod 'FirebaseFirestore', :git => 'https://github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks.git', :tag => '8.0.0'.
to new version.
pod 'FirebaseFirestore', :git => 'https://github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks.git', :tag => '8.9.1'

There are two problems at the same time here. Cant update cocoa pods because of firebase dep. and can't update because of minimum deployment target.

Do:

• pod reintegrate
• uncomment the second line in pod file and elevate te platform: iOS to 11.0
• pod update

that's the trick

To your Podfile, add the Firebase pods that you want to use in your app.

platform :ios, ‘10.0’

Add the Firebase pod for Google Analytics

pod 'Firebase/Analytics'

For Analytics without IDFA collection capability, use this pod instead

pod ‘Firebase/AnalyticsWithoutAdIdSupport’

Add the pods for any other Firebase products you want to use in your app

For example, to use Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore

pod 'Firebase/Auth' pod 'Firebase/Firestore'
