Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code while trying to add Flutter to iOS app

Question

I am trying to add flutter to the existing app. So before doing on the production app I tried with brand new Xcode 10 Single View Application. I followed the tutorial here on https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Add-Flutter-to-existing-apps and got stuck after adding the run script in the build phase of my target. It's giving the error:

    flutter_application_path = '/Users/dhavalkansara/FlutterToNative/AFE_flutter/'
    eval(File.read(File.join(flutter_application_path, '.ios', 'Flutter', 'podhelper.rb')), binding)


end

Already added FLUTTER_ROOT in my project.

Please help me out with this issue.

@Akashgkrishnan In my case this solution works. If this is not an option, which one is the solution? – Fabio Sep 02 '22 at 20:47
@Fabio in most cases the issue is due to switching branches while app is running and the app being too much dependant on old Plugins. Creating a new iOS Folder in most cases fixes the issue. also please read the GitHub Comment posted. where even the flutter team says that disabling run scripts should never be done. – Akash g krishnan Sep 23 '22 at 12:55

This worked for me:
1) Add this to your podfile:

flutter_application_path = '/Users/dhavalkansara/FlutterToNative/AFE_flutter/'
    eval(File.read(File.join(flutter_application_path, '.ios', 'Flutter', 'podhelper.rb')), binding)

    install_all_flutter_pods(flutter_application_path)

PS. You may also need to do that for each target, i.e

target 'AFEiOSTests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    install_all_flutter_pods(flutter_application_path)
    # Pods for testing
  end

  target 'AFEiOSUITests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    install_all_flutter_pods(flutter_application_path)
    # Pods for testing
  end

2) Run pod install

By doing flutter clean. Xcode builds clean.(Key: command+shift+k).

xcode ->targets->runner

in build phases: run script and thin binary, unselect: run script only when installing

then run flutter run in the terminal of the project resolve the issue for me.

If you dig deep and try and find out what is causing this error - it will help you to go to the right direction. For me the reason for this error was "

"/packages/flutter_tools/bin/xcode_backend.sh: No such file or directory"

Now in order to find xcode_backend.sh the FLUTTER_ROOT variable needs to be defined. It is defined in a file called Flutter/Generated.xcconfig, which is generated when you run flutter pub get or flutter build.

Goto Project -> Runner -> Info -> Configurations

Debug Runner -> Generated (under Runner) Runner -> Pods-Runner.debug

Release Runner -> Generated (under Runner) Runner -> Pods-Runner.release

Profile Runner -> Generated (under Runner) Runner -> Pods-Runner.profile

At the end all the 3 will have 2 configurations set.

Best of luck :)

Fix for me was force quitting Xcode. There recently was update, after which this issue appeared. After normal quitting and opening, there was error visible. But after force quitting and opening, Xcode showed dialog box, that some of its dependencies are missing and they will be downloaded. After that build was working for me again.

Somewhat related to other questions, such as this. For me this started happening after some update in my Mac. The solution included a flutter clean + flutter pub get and restarting both the device (iPhone) and computer (Mac) - restarting the Mac made all the difference. Other answers may suggest to mark the "For install builds only" option on Xcode - that actually broke things for me, build started complaining about not finding Flutter.h. So yeah, restarting things may solve your problem. Perhaps throw in a flutter upgrade as well.

Easy way to fix this:

Go to Menu -> System Preferences -> Security & Privacy.
Choose the Privacy Tab.
Select the Full Disk Access item in the left list.
Select Xcode in the right list.

this happen because some packages not updated

in Ios folder

delete pods folder
delete podfile.lock
in podfile change version ( platform :ios, '11.0') '11' or higher
flutter pub upgrade --major-versions (in project terminal)
pod install (in ios terminal)
flutter run

I tried everything from flutter clean to pod deintegrate to restarting to changing to "for install builds only". None solved my problem. This happened every time I made large changes to an auto-generated API. Deleting the pushing everything, deleting the folder, and re-cloning worked for me, but it was of course none ideal.

Instead of taking a solution wholesale here, you should run flutter run --verbose and trace the source of the error. In my case, I traced Member not found: 'FirebaseAppPlatform.verifyExtends'. to which this solution worked.

With a widely attributable error like this, always assess the risks of even more widely attributable solutions. Some of the solutions are quite dangerous.

`flutter run --flavor dev --verbose` does indeed help greatly in identifying the specific error likely related to the cause of the nonzero-exit error. — Emile, Nov 09 '22 at 15:49

for flutter developers, I am also facing this problem and after doing RnD i am able to solve it as follow:

find frameworks.sh files to add the -f flag to the call to readlink.

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

replace with

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

here is the directory to find it:

Pods --> Target support files --> Pods-(Project_Name) --> frameworks.sh(Pods-Runner-frameworks)

Remember(if you are using notification services like oneSignal etc. make sure to check bundle version before archiving )

How I resolved this issue:

step 1: open up your flutter iOS directory in Xcode and try to build, it should give a more detailed overview of where the error is in your code.

PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code an error returned by Xcode build engine - you probably ignored warnings not obvious syntax error in your flutter code, could be a scope or imports declaration.

Ensure your build succeeds in Xcode before closing simulator.

TL;DR Try updating Flutter -> flutter upgrade

I had this error a few times and always try the flutter clean, flutter pub get...etc but it doesn't work for me. I also try restarting laptop, deleting recently added assets (as some comments suggest) but none of it works.

Then I remember how I fixed it last time by updating Flutter, and it has just worked for me again so definitely worth a try

I tried everything and spent 3 to 4 days.

I found the solution with the below steps.

Remove the iOS Folder of your Flutter project.
Re-Create iOS Folder using the below command.

flutter create -i swift .
Go to iOS the iOS Folder and install pod.

pod install
Run the project. flutter run

Note: I know these steps are not always solved but it works for me.

I created this project with Flutter 2.2.3 (Dart 2.13.4) 2 or 3 years ago and never try to run it on iOS, Now Flutter running on 3.10.6 (Dart 3.0.6), and maybe some iOS project folder create with the old Drat Framework.

My system Dart Framework is always updated and tries to run with the old Dart compile version.

I think this one is in my case.

I had a similar problem for Flutter, where my frameworks couldn't be resolved and I ended up here, so posting the solution to the problem in here.

Solution:

Update your pod version to match at least 1.12.1

Xcode 14.3 changed how they resolve symlinks to relative paths. So if you are below pod version 1.12.1 (mine was e.g. 1.11.3), if fails due to wrong path resolution and you either can go into: flutter-project/ios/Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-Runner/Pods-Runner-frameworks.sh

and change:

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

to

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

Or you update your pod version to match at least 1.12.1

Hope that helps someone searching for this problem in flutter and having the same error message.
