package_info: fatal error: module 'package_info' not found

[gtupak]

Hi everyone,

I'm using package_info to display the build number of the app, and am getting the following error on iOS:

Error output from Xcode build:
↳
   ** BUILD FAILED **


Xcode's output:
↳
   /Users/gabriel/dev/aedo_app/ios/Runner/GeneratedPluginRegistrant.m:10:9: fatal error: module 'package_info' not found
   @import package_info;
    ~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~
   1 error generated.
   note: Using new build system
   note: Planning build
   note: Using build description from disk

Could not build the precompiled application for the device.

Steps to Reproduce

Import package_info with version ^0.4.0+12 in a stateful widget and use it like so:

PackageInfo _packageInfo;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();

    PackageInfo.fromPlatform().then((packageInfo) {
      setState(() {
        _packageInfo = packageInfo;
      });
    });
  }

I created a new Swift Flutter app, added package_info: ^0.4.0+12 to the pubspec, then ran flutter build ios and don't see any build issues. Also no issues running flutter run -d <> Am I missing any reproduction steps?

$ flutter create test_import  
$ cd test_import
<updated pubspec>
$ flutter build ios

[gtupak]

I tried to reproduce it that way and I indeed couldn't reproduce it. I feel like some of my configurations are off. Do you mind sharing your Podfile with me so I can compare?

[jmagman]

Sure, though it should be the same as the one you generated.
Podfile

Are you able to share a reproducible case of this?

[gtupak]

Yeah so what happened was in my original project I didn't have the default Podfile and I was missing the commands to put all packages together. Replacing my contents with the default ones fixed the problem. Thanks for the help!

I had this issue with package_info 2.0.2, and I had to set the platform :ios, '10.0' (before it was 11.0 per other dependencies).
