Flutter: unable to run app on ios (The iOS Simulator deployment target 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET' is set to 8.0, but the range of supported...)

Question

I have a flutter app that ran fine. I run into a problem every once in a while where I cannot run the app.

Usually running flutter clean && flutter pub get && cd ios && pod install && cd .. would fix the issue. This did not work that time.

The error I get is: https://dsc.cloud/d061d0/output (was too long to put here).

My deployment target is set to 12.3 in Xcode.

The following didn't help:

• https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/656616
• The iOS Simulator deployment targets is set to 7.0, but the range of supported deployment target version for this platform is 8.0 to 12.1
• https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk/issues/6533
• https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/10134

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Answer 1

Have you tried deleting the Podfile.lock file before running that command?

Answer 2

I was able to fix it by excluding the "arm64" architecture in the excluded architectures in the Target inside the Runner.
