Flutter plugin, ios folder does not contain Runner.xcworkspace nor a Podfile

[svprdga]

Steps to Reproduce

1. In a Mac, download this repository: https://github.com/svprdga/async_preferences
2. Try to open the ios folder (the one in the plugin project, not the one in the example) in XCode.

Expected results:

• ios folder contains a Runner.xcworkspace file so the developer can open the ios project in XCode

Actual results:

• ios folder doesn't contain a Runner.xcworkspace nor a Podfile.

I have tried the following:

cd example && flutter run
cd example && flutter build ios --no-codesign
flutter create .
Remove ios folder and flutter create .

None of the above generated the required files in order to develop the native side of my plugin.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @svprdga
For plugins, iOS doesn't need to contain these files, these are just pod classes
You can check google_maps_flutter for reference.

When executing flutter create --org com.example --template=plugin --platforms=android,ios -i swift hello

First, run your example either IDE or flutter run then
You can open these pod classes from `example/ios/xcworkspace/ and you can access all pod classes for the plugin on the left side menu.

Flutter			Podfile.lock		Runner			Runner.xcworkspace
Podfile			Pods			Runner.xcodeproj	build
tahatesser@Tahas-MacBook-Pro ios % 

flutter doctor -v
