I have used several times the Xcode simulator for my flutter app. One time I tried to change the simulator to iPhone 11 Pro (don't know if it did or did not cause the problem) but since then:

  1. I get the error Module 'path_provider' not found.
  2. It seems that each time when I double click on the Runner.xcworkspace file, it opens the project file instead. I'm new to Xcode so not quite sure about that but I attached a screenshot.

Things I've tried:

  • updated according to the instructions in the warnings (which can be seen in the screenshot).
  • deleted all Xcode cache with Reset Xcode
  • deleted the android studio project and popped it again from git.
  • flutter clean + removed all the pod files + pod install from android studio terminal. according to the explanations here: reinstall pod

What else can I do?

I had the same issue. All I had to do was open the runner.xcworkspace instead of runner.xcodeproj and run the app.

I faced this same error and realized that I have used pod init manually so I deleted the Podfile in the ios folder then run flutter build ios. The Flutter will generate the Podfile correctly and everything works well after that.

Thank you very much. I had spent the whole day look for a solution. Yours is the only one that worked for me. I had done Pod Init instead of letting flutter generate it for me.

In Flutter project, I Also faced with this issue. Fixed by updating flutter and cocoa pods to the latest version.

flutter clean
rm -Rf ios/Pods
rm -Rf ios/.symlinks
rm -Rf ios/Flutter/Flutter.framework
rm -Rf ios/Flutter/Flutter.podspec
flutter pub get
  • Move to podfile (project_name/ios/Podfile) and comment platform :ios, '11.0' like this # platform :ios, '11.0' then run this commands
cd ios
pod install
arch -x86_64 pod install  //(On an M1 mac use => arch -x86_64 pod install)
cd ..
flutter run

The problem for me, as it seems, was that the Xcode opened "Runner.xcodeproj" instead of "Runner.xcworkspace" from what I understood, .xcworkspace is the one that makes the bindings/connections between files and packages. xcodeproj doesn't do it and that's why it was missin although I did have it.

Solution: To be sure I do have the updated version of the missing package:

  1. cd [project path]
  2. Flutter clean (or delete the build folder to ensure there is no cache)
  3. cd [project path]/ios
  4. pod install
  5. pod update

Then, when opening the Xcode I clicked: Project navigator (folder icon on the left toolbar) -> Runner (in the project tree that opened) -> Runner (under Targets) (shown in the attached picture)

and then when I build it worked for me.

i have perform above steps but still getting same error.
This works for me, but I first deleted my Podfile, then ran flutter build ios, and finally opened Runner.xcworkspace in Xcode instead of Runner.xcodeproj

My technique is basically to rip it up and start again - keeping all the lib files though! That way you can keep track of what you need to do to fix the things you broke trying to fix it earlier !

I create a new flutter project and add the lib files from the broken project. then piece by piece put it back together. I decided on this idea after trawling through many 'patches' to the specific errors that I saw. I should not have been anywhere near those errors - so patching them just broke more - untraceably. Hence the rebuild.

In Podfile, I just comment platform :ios, '11.0', it worked!

I had the same problem that was caused by the linker. I solved it as follows: runner->build setting->other linker flags, and delete path_provider

I was having the same issues and in the end, I fixed it by:

  1. Deleting the macos (or ios) folder
  2. Run flutter create --platform=macos,ios .
