Issue running app on iPhone/iOS

[indyfromoz]

Great app and very nice code, thanks so much for sharing ❤️

Grabbing the latest code from the repository and trying to run it from development branch, I am seeing three errors when I do flutter run -d [deviceID] where deviceID is the iOS simulator I run with open -a Simulator. It is a iPhone X with iOS 11.3. My environment is macOS High Sierra 10.13.4, Xcode 9.3 ((E145). Here is the output from flutter run -

flutter doctor prints the following -

My environment has Cocoapods version 1.5.0 installed.

Anyone have any suggestions for me try, please?

Thanks!

I did a bit of digging around after opening the issue. It seems flutter beta has issues with Cocoapods version 1.5.0 (version I have installed). I had to follow flutter/flutter#16036 and implement a workaround with the following steps -

1. Deleted ios/Podfile.lock and ios/Pods.
2. Switched flutter channel to master (flutter channel master)
3. Copied contents of https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/master/packages/flutter_tools/templates/cocoapods/Podfile-swift in Podfile.
4. Ran flutter clean followed by flutter run.

Voila 🎉 the app now runs on my iPhone X Sim

Closing this issue as it is not a problem with inKino code.
