[tool] connected IOS devices not visible on old version of Xcode, "Flutter requires Xcode 13 or higher" #104155

lel101 · 2022-05-19T07:17:19Z

Sorry for the trouble.

It work's fine in flutter version 2.10.5 stable, but when I upgrade my flutter environment to 3 this problem occur, even though the emulator is already open.

But when I will downgrade the flutter version to 2.10.5 it will work again.

Btw I'm only using Xcode 12.4 because I have an old mac and I can't upgrade to Xcode 13 or higher.

Hi @lel101, Thanks for filing the issue. Can you please share the output of flutter doctor -v on both stable 2.10 .5 (where it works ) and stable 3.0 (where it doesn't)? Do also share the output of flutter devices on stable 3.0

@maheshmnj Thank you for your response

Thanks for the info @lel101,

✗ Flutter requires Xcode 13 or higher.

I believe you would need to upgrade xcode to 13, However, you can try this solution #41006 (comment) and see if it helps fix the issue ?

@maheshmnj
Thanks for the response,

I'm using an old mac, that's why I cannot upgrade my xcode :(

However, you can try this solution #41006 (comment) and see if it helps fix the issue ?

I will check this one thanks!

I got same error too.. i have tried this.. but still not work in flutter 3. please confirm @lel101 have u tried it?

lel101 · 2022-05-20T09:07:37Z

@AbiMulLyA
Sorry but still not working. Do you have same setup with me ?

What version of xcode you are using ?

AbiMulLyA · 2022-05-20T09:25:02Z

@lel101 i'm using xcode 12.4 and currently on flutter 3.0.1

lel101 · 2022-05-20T09:27:07Z

@AbiMulLyA
Can you try upgrade your xcode to 13 and test it ?
Sorry I wish I could try it here but my laptop is old and I can't upgrade it.

AbiMulLyA · 2022-05-20T09:28:55Z

@lel101 sorry i'm using old mac too. I can't update to xcode 13 😆

lel101 · 2022-05-20T09:31:16Z

@maheshmnj
Sorry for the trouble,

Do you have any work around for laptop that uses xcode below 13 ?

AbiMulLyA · 2022-05-20T09:31:39Z

@maheshmnj is there another solution for this?

maheshmnj · 2022-05-20T12:15:46Z

Thanks for the info @lel101, I am not sure of any other solution to why the ios devices are not visible, The xcode version seems to be the cause of the issue. Labeling this issue for further insights from the team.

I was just thinking about this in #103844 (comment)

We could change the Xcode version logic from being so aggressive--only check if it's installed, then try to build or get devices or whatever, and only check and report the version if that fails. The last Xcode bump, for example, was because we need bitcode-enabled apps (usually add-to-app) to be on the same or newer version of clang than the one the engine is on. But for most of our users that's not relevant (bitcode is off in the template). Sometimes it just won't build on an old toolchain, at which point we can report that the version is too old.

clytras · 2022-05-22T23:20:50Z

App Store does not accept archives built with Xcode < 13 anymore. I have a Mac Mini late 2012 and it doesn't support macOS Monterey. I got Monterey installed using the OpenCore Legacy Patcher and then I was able to install Xcode 13 without issues. You can check supported models here.

jmagman · 2022-05-23T19:00:52Z

That's one of the reasons we're enforcing it so strictly on flutter build/flutter run.

Ideally everyone should be on the latest and greatest version of Xcode with the newest SDKs. In practice though it can be really difficult to, say, upgrade your entire CI suite hardware, when it only takes one new machine (or deployment service) to actually archive and publish. We could allow looser build/run requirements, but be stricter for flutter build ipa when developers are presumably ready to ship their app.

AbiMulLyA · 2022-05-29T09:31:28Z

@lel101 could u run your project on iPhone real device with current flutter n xcode version?

On the latest versions, Flutter requires Xcode 14 or higher as included in the 3.13.0 release note.

@dam-ease why are you tagging me?

I saw a similar issue recently on the new Flutter version and error message, so I tagged you because I saw you add a priority label and thought you might want to follow up on this issue by keeping up to date with the latest information. Apologies if my assumption is incorrect.

this approach does not scale well to the number of open issues that are labelled tool: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Atool. Per our Issue Hygiene section of the wiki, I would recommend adding a thumbs up reaction to the top level comment of the issue in order to raise visibility of it.
