Unable to compile Flutter application with Flutter 1.22.3

Question

My application was compiling successfully until the Flutter version upgrade. I get the following error:

Runner.app/Info.plist does not exist. The Flutter "Thin Binary" build phase must run after "Copy Bundle Resources".

Flutter doctor -v

I have same issue with 1.22.2 – Reprobative

Answer 1

I fixed it by running flutter clean (Make sure that If you renamed Runner to Runner.app, that this is also no longer a directory in the ios directory)

Then I rebuilt and it sprung back into action :)

I was facing same issue, and fixed with following steps:

1. Launch iOS application from Runner.Workspace
2. Go to build phase --> Thin Binary
3. Comment the shell script line.
4. Run the app (it works, but app size grows to 161 MB)
5. Now again uncomment same line in step 3. App builds and runs and app size shrinks to (97 MB)

Worked for me as well! Thanks – Barnette

Solution

---

Go to Runner(target app) > Build Phases > Run Script and update the run script with the below one.

/bin/sh "$FLUTTER_ROOT/packages/flutter_tools/bin/xcode_backend.sh" build

Also, verify that Runner(target app) > Build Phases > This Binary contains below scripts as suggested in XCode 11.4 Support by the flutter team.

/bin/sh "$FLUTTER_ROOT/packages/flutter_tools/bin/xcode_backend.sh" embed
/bin/sh "$FLUTTER_ROOT/packages/flutter_tools/bin/xcode_backend.sh" thin

Try renaming project name from Runner to Runner.app

It will rename the target as well to Runner.app.app, but the project will compile and run.

We have the same issue a lot on our project. Unfortunately we were not yet able to fix it completely but we have a work around:

Go to the folder where the build files are stored

e.g. /Users/your.name/Projects/app_project/build/ios/iphonesimulator/YourApp.app)

Open the app with right click -> Show Package Content. And then just copy the old info.plist from an earlier build into this app package. The App should build again.

I found the issue. To fix it:

• Open XCode
• Open the Build Phase panel
• In the Run Script i remove the second line of the script (I keep only the following line: /bin/sh "$FLUTTER_ROOT/packages/flutter_tools/bin/xcode_backend.sh" build)

what caused this? – Frizette

perhaps a script needed in a previous Flutter version ? not sure ... – Raby

Answer 7

I met the same problem. I have solved this problem to change the edition of flutter into "flutter_macos_1.17.2-stable". My English is bad.Forgive me
