Not able to generate iOS release build #21073

MiguelCatalan · 2018-08-27T19:02:05Z

Context

This issue is related to #20564, but in that issue, I assumed it was a problem with the project, but now I tested a fresh project getting the same result. So this is why I'm opening a new thread.

I was working before in an old MacBook Pro, using macOS Sierra. I then migrated to one of the new MacBook Pro (15-inch 2018) with High Sierra and the system stopped generating releases archives. I don't know if it is related but it is the only changed piece.

Now I am able to create a project, run in an emulator, run it in a real device and generate the release version for iOS if there is no extra dependency in the pubspec.yaml. If I add any flutter dependency, Xcode keeps giving the device_info/DeviceInfoPlugin.h file not found error.

I know it is probably something related to my setup, but I tested with other machines with the same configuration, resulting in the same result.

I am not able to generate any release since a month ago. My business is suffering because of this. Please, I beg to anyone point me in the right direction to fix this. I am truly desperate.

Steps to Reproduce

Install everything from scratch, following the guide: https://flutter.io/setup-macos/
Create a hello-world-project using the wizard of IntelliJ IDEA
Run the project in the iOS emulator (runs ok)
Run flutter build ios --release
Open Xcode, set Product -> Scheme -> Runner and Product -> Destination -> Generic iOS Device
Genearte release archive with Product -> Archive

Success, a new build is generated. But there is more.

Add any flutter dependency to the pubspec.yaml, let say this one
Run flutter packages get
Double check and run pod install inside the ios directory.
Run flutter build ios --release
Open Xcode, and try to genearte release archive with Product -> Archive

I get an error device_info/DeviceInfoPlugin.h file not found

And thats it.

I did the workflow before with both IntelliJ IDEA CE and Ultimate, and both kotlin-swift and ObjectiveC-Java combinations.

Also try using beta, dev, and master channels.

And with cocoapods 1.4.0, 1.5.0 and 1.5.3

check this one, seems like you have the same problem with this issue

ened · 2018-08-28T12:03:02Z

@MiguelCatalan could you try using fastlane for a test? Here the relevant part from my Fastfile:

lane :beta do
  system '(cd ../../ && flutter build ios --release --no-codesign)'
  build_app(
    workspace: "Runner.xcworkspace",
    scheme: "Runner",
    export_method: 'app-store',
    configuration: 'Release'
  )
end

MiguelCatalan · 2018-08-28T15:31:17Z

@chengenzhao you are the man. Indeed was related and the solution worked.

But I think that issue should not be closed because I presume it is a bug the tools doesn't generate that file by itself.

JigneshWorld · 2018-10-18T17:48:38Z

@ened Thanks man, your snippet helps me a lot.
flutter build ios --release --no-codesign

I figured out the problem, all of the deployment targets need to be the same. That is, in the project file, the target, and the pods project as well.

How to check this deployment targets?

lockelost · 2019-11-26T19:59:38Z

Any update on this?
I'm also facing the same problem.
Release Build works, but Archive fails with the following error.

'xxx/xxxPlugin.h' file not found

I can not release it to AppStore.

skppetr0007 · 2020-01-19T12:48:36Z

Make sure you open Runner.xcworkspace instead of Runner.xcodeproj

ayham95 · 2020-04-10T16:32:16Z

For more reference:

Make sure to choose Generic iOS device in xcode
