Add the below code to the Podfile. It works for me. Version 14.3 beta 2 (14E5207e)

post_install do |installer| installer.generated_projects.each do |project| project.targets.each do |target| target.build_configurations.each do |config| config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '13.0' end end end end 

Open Terminal and go to the following folder:

cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/ 

Create the folder "arc":

Go to System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Full Disk Access → Terminal, and do:

sudo mkdir arc cd arc sudo git clone https://github.com/kamyarelyasi/Libarclite-Files.git . 

Give the necessary permissions:

sudo chmod +x * 

Now you will be able to build and run, but not Archive.

To fix this, follow the steps:

In Xcode, navigate to:

• Pods → Target Support Files → Pods-Runner or Pods-App

• Open file Pods-Runner-frameworks.sh or Pods-App-frameworks.sh

• Find the line: source="$(readlink "${source}")"

• Replace it by: source="$(readlink -f "${source}")"

Then...Archive

You can manually modify the minimum deployment version of the third-party framework.

e.g.: iOS 8.0 --> iOS 11.0

Actually, the other answers are correct, but to an amateur, it's still quite difficult to figure it out.

It seems like iOS stopped supporting iOS 8, so the minimum should be 11.0.

There are two ways to upgrade your iOS:

1. Manually update all targets with a minimum deployment at 11.0.

   

   It will work perfectly but tiring, so...

2. Adjust the pod code to force all targets with a minimum deployment at 11.0.

   

    post_install do |installer| installer.generated_projects.each do |project| project.targets.each do |target| target.build_configurations.each do |config| config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '12.0' end end end end 

   Remember to clean and de-integrate pod and re-install it.

    cd [project directory] pod deintegrate pod clean pod install 

post_install do |installer| installer.generated_projects.each do |project| project.targets.each do |target| target.build_configurations.each do |config| config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '13.0' end end end installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target| flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target) end end 

This is the right code for podfile.

I updated the post_install in my Podfile to:

post_install do |installer| installer.generated_projects.each do |project| project.targets.each do |target| target.build_configurations.each do |config| config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '13.0' end end end installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target| flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target) end end 

Additionally, I set the Minimum Deployments to 13 as well (Runner → Targets → Runner):

After this, I updated the project's pods by running this in the terminal:

cd ios; # Remove the pods pod deintegrate; # Remove the Podfile.lock rm -f Podfile.lock; # Installs the pods pod install --repo-update; 

Try running the app from your IDE; it should work now.

If you continue to have issues, try cleaning the build folder within Xcode and running the app, also within Xcode.

Once you have successfully run the app from Xcode, go back to your IDE and you'll be able to run the app.

Update

This answer could be valid for the question in this topic as well

The old answer

It's worked for me.

cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/ sudo mkdir arc # While executing the above command, the OS will block it # and give an error. Allow permission from the settings # and run the command again. cd arc sudo git clone https://github.com/kamyarelyasi/Libarclite-Files.git . 

You may also need to run this command: sudo chmod +x *

Since Xcode 14.3 you have to set all your Pods to a minimum deployment target of iOS 11. Then it will work.

1. Navigate to the [Pods] project in the Project Navigator.
2. Select "each" target under it and perform step 3 below.
3. Change the Minimum Deployment Target to iOS 11 version in the drop-down list therein.

If you are working in Swift/Objective-C, No further action is needed except:

1. Navigate to [Pods] project in the Project Navigator.
2. Select "each" target under it and perform the step 3 below.
3. Change the Minimum Deployments value to the lowest available version in the drop-down list therein. (Avoid typing in the version, manually)

Thereafter, clean build folder from Product Menu, and hopefully you'll be able to build the project successfully.

After updating to XCode 14.3 I got the same error message as described in the question. In my case it was an error in a pod that was shown. My project is a native iOS app and no flutter like answers from others seem to be dealing with.

The following worked for me:

1. Comment out all pods in Podfile by adding # in front of each pod.
2. Close XCode.
3. Run pod install (will remove all pods).
4. Open xcworkspace project in XCode again and do a clean (command-shift-k).
5. Uncomment pods in Podfile and add this before the last end in the Podfile (change 11.0 to the minimum version you want to support):

post_install do |installer| installer.generated_projects.each do |project| project.targets.each do |target| target.build_configurations.each do |config| config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '11.0' end end end end 

6. Close XCode.
7. Run pod install.
8. Open xcworkspace project in XCode and error should be gone.

Here are the step-by-step instructions, including the image links:

1. Open a web browser and go to the following URL: https://github.com/kamyarelyasi/Libarclite-Files

2. On the GitHub page, you will see a list of files. Locate the file named libarclite_iphonesimulator.a.

   

3. Click on the file name (libarclite_iphonesimulator.a) to open it.

4. On the file page, click the "Download" button to download the file to your computer. Choose a suitable location to save the file.

5. After the download is complete, locate the downloaded file (libarclite_iphonesimulator.a) on your computer.

6. Open the Finder application on your Mac.

7. In the menu bar, click on "Go" and select "Go to Folder" from the dropdown menu.

8. In the "Go to the folder" dialog box, enter the following path and click the "Go" button: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/arc/

   

9. If the arc directory does not exist in the specified path, right-click on the "arc" folder in the Finder and select "New Folder" from the context menu. Rename the newly created folder as "arc".

10. Now, locate the downloaded file (libarclite_iphonesimulator.a) and copy it.

11. Go back to the Finder window containing the arc directory.

12. Right-click on an empty space within the arc directory and select "Paste Item" from the context menu. This will paste the copied file (libarclite_iphonesimulator.a) into the arc directory.

13. Once the file is successfully copied, you have completed the process of downloading the files and copying the libarclite_iphonesimulator.a file to the specified location.

From the Flutter team.

No need for workarounds, just update Flutter to latest version 3.7.11 and run flutter upgrade in your project, and you should be good.

https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/124433.

Just tested in my Flutter project, and I can confirm I can build and archive the xcode project

Just create a folder called 'arc' in the following path:

/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/

Download and paste the contents of this repository into the folder you just created and then build again.

I spent hours and I've found out the problem. It was Xcode version 14.3.

I tried the above suggestions (update your podfile) and it worked, but the problem is you can't build IPA files or XCArchives.

Here's what I did in my case:

1. I downloaded Xcode version 14.2 here https://xcodereleases.com/

2. Just set the Command Line Tools to Xcode 14.2

P.S.: Just to make sure, run the usual first:

flutter clean && flutter pub get 

With this, I was able to build and create XCArchives. I hope this helps other Flutter developers!

I figured out the problem. I had to increase the deployment target for the Pod module that was causing the error to iOS 15.0. At least, that's what worked for me.

My system: MacBook Pro M1

Xcode: 14.3

To fix this issue, you must ensure that the iOS Deployment Target of your pods is 11.0; pods with an iOS Deployment Target of 8.0 were causing the issue for me.

Example: pods that were set to iOS Deployment Target 8.0: leveldb-library, nanopb.

You will receive this error for any pods that are set to 8.0 when building, so change them to 11.0 either manually or with a post install script in your Podfile.

tl;dr: Change deployment target without downgrading pods

Many answers here are about updating IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET in the post_install hook of Cocoapods. I had to tweak this solution a little bit, since my project uses pods which already have a higher deployment target, and the provided solutions would downgrade them, causing their build to break (e.g. when the pods are using newer APIs).

So here's my patched approach, to only change the deployment target if it's too low:

post_install do | installer | installer.generated_projects.each do |project| project.targets.each do |target| target.build_configurations.each do |config| if config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'].split('.').first.to_i < 11 config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '11.0' end end end end end 

In one line:

Just search for "iphoneos_deployment_target" in your Xcode and change any target lower than 11.0 to 11.0.

Nothing worked for me. I just downgraded Xcode to 14.2 and it worked!

It seems like some files are missing from Xcode 14.3 above (including Xcode 15). You can add them back by this command:

sudo git clone https://github.com/MojtabaHs/xcode-arc `xcode-select -p`/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/arc 

_{This will add them to the currently selected Xcode. You can select another Xcode using xcode-select command and run the above command again to make it work too.}

You can try adding this code to the Pod file

 post_install do |installer| installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target| flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target) target.build_configurations.each do |config| config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '11.0' end end end 

Don't use this code

 post_install do |installer| installer.generated_projects.each do |project| project.targets.each do |target| target.build_configurations.each do |config| config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '11.0' end end end end 

1. First update PodFile.

post_install do |installer| installer.generated_projects.each do |project| project.targets.each do |target| target.build_configurations.each do |config| config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '11.0' end end end installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target| flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target) end end 

Update target as per your need. For me 11.0 was minimum requirement. This basically updates minimum deployments from anything you have to 11.0 so you don’t need to update manually.

Now Missing file libarclite_iphoneos.a must be fixed. However, you might get another issue while generating build. If so, please go through following steps.

2. Can't generate build?

.sh Path: flutter-project-folder/ios/Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-Runner/Pods-Runner-frameworks.sh

Steps

1. Open Pods-Runner-frameworks.sh file from sublime (or any other)
2. Search for source="$(readlink "${source}")" and replace it with source="$(readlink -f "${source}")"
3. Run flutter build ipa --release
4. [important] Now open sublime again. You will see it will remove -f. At this time immediately add -f again and save the file. Now the build should be successful.

This worked for me. Hope this helps.

Thanks

For me, macOS project, increase the minimum deployments version for that target.

Fixed in Flutter 3.7.11

flutter upgrade 

Upgrading to Xcode 14.3 will not build when plugin transitive dependencies have a low deployment target: File not found: XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/arc/libarclite_iphoneos.a #124340

Hotfixes to the Stable Channel

I would like to improve moveFastLink's solution.

There are two things that I think could be improved:

• In moveFastLink's solution, when one of the pods already has a higher deployment target, it will be "downgraded" to 13.0.
• OP asks for a solution that solves his problem. For the problem to be solved, it's not necessary so set the target version of every pod to 13.0. Instead, 11.0 very much suffices.

For these reasons I propose to add this to the Podfile of your project:

wanted_project_target = 11.0 post_install do |installer| installer.generated_projects.each do |project| project.targets.each do |target| target.build_configurations.each do |config| current_project_target = config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'].to_f if current_project_target < wanted_project_target config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = wanted_project_target.to_s end end end end end 

This piece of code checks if the current IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is lower than the wanted_project_target and only re-assigns it to wanted_project_target if this is the case.

100% Working and Tested

For my case, I was getting an error like below:

When I have updated my Xcode with the latest version, my running project was getting an error.

Executable path is a directory

Later I saw the below error in Xcode:

This is how I resolved this:

By using a terminal, I have added the src directory and changed its permissions

1. Open the Terminal application in your Mac.

2. Enter the command:

   sudo mkdir arc 

3. It will ask for permission if you haven't set permissions previously for access in App Management.

   

4. Enter this command in the terminal:

   cd arc 

5. Enter this command in the terminal:

   sudo git clone https://github.com/kamyarelyasi/Libarclite-Files.git . 

Once this command fired, now it is time to change permissions:

sudo chmod +x * 

Almost done.

Simply search in Xcode for the following:

source="$(readlink "${source}")" 

and just replace it by the following:

source="$(readlink -f "${source}")" 

It looks like:

Done. You are able to generate a build and are also able to run in the simulator.

Update the Flutter SDK to 3.7.12 to fix the problem.

Inside script "Pods-${TARGET}-frameworks.sh" Inside function install_framework() ... # Use filter instead of exclude so missing patterns don't throw errors. # # 1. fix framework path at $source variable # framework not found at script location source="${1}" echo "rsync --delete -av "${RSYNC_PROTECT_TMP_FILES[@]}" --links --filter \"- CVS/\" --filter \"- .svn/\" --filter \"- .git/\" --filter \"- .hg/\" --filter \"- Headers\" --filter \"- PrivateHeaders\" --filter \"- Modules\" \"${source}\" \"${destination}\"" # 2. replace rsync --links flag with --copy-links # rsync will copy files and directories instead do symlinkink # if don't do this, later code sign failed, when try to codesign symbolic link rsync --delete -av "${RSYNC_PROTECT_TMP_FILES[@]}" --copy-links --filter "- CVS/" --filter "- .svn/" --filter "- .git/" --filter "- .hg/" --filter "- Headers" --filter "- PrivateHeaders" --filter "- Modules" "${source}" "${destination}" ... That's all ctrl+s and archive 

You can see the offending pod in the errors (yellow). I just changed that to my target (14)

I had this issue when using Pods to add Firebase to my app. What fixed it for me was: Select the ‘Pods’ project in the the file navigation on the left, then select the ‘General’ tab, select the ‘leveldb-library’ target and set the minimum deployment to iOS 11.0.
