[iOS] Module 'camera' not found on empty flutter app template

[Bongokarl]

Hi there,

when I create a blank new flutter app through Android Studio (version 4.1.3) on my MAC and only add "camera: ^0.9.4+5" to "dependencies" in the pubspec.yaml-file I cannot get the app to build in XCode anymore. It fails with the message in the title "Module 'camera' not found".
This is what I do:

1. Open Android Studio and select "Create new Flutter Project".
2. Choose "Flutter Application" and set a name for the app
3. Open pubspec.yaml an add "camera: ^0.9.4+5":
   
4. Run "flutter pub get"
5. Edit Podfile in ios folder and set "platform :ios, '11.0'"
6. Open Terminal in Android Studio, navigate to ios folder and run "pod install"
7. Right click Runner.xcodeproj and open in XCode
8. Set deployment target to 11.0 in XCode project
9. Run the app from XCode project
10. Observe this error:
    

The weird thing is that sometimes, after a reboot it suddenly works one time. Then I open another project, go back to this one and it doesn't work anymore.
This is my flutter doctor:

When I run the ios build from Android Studio it works perfectly fine!
Does anyone have an idea why I get this error in XCode? How can I find the "real" issue or underlying cause?

Best regards and thanks in advance,
Andi

Hi @Bongokarl, this is a fairly common issue and may have been caused because you opened Runner.xcodeproj instead of Runner.xcworkspace, and is not an issue with the camera plugin.

Closing, as this isn't an issue with Flutter itself.
If you disagree, please write in the comments and I will reopen it.
Thank you
