Flutter / iOS : Could not determine bundle id

Question

In my Flutter project, I try to compile and run my app. It works fine on Android but for some reason, out of nowhere, I now have the following error when I run my app on iOS:

2022-06-11 16:21:02.274 ios-deploy[42320:338779] [ !! ] [ ERROR] Could not determine bundle id.
Could not run build/ios/iphoneos/Runner.app on 00008030-001C085222DA803E.

So here is what I checked:

Info.plist: there is Bundle identifier with the value $(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER)
In TARGETS > Runner > Build Settings > Packaging > Product Bundle Identifier, I have the expected value (my package name)
In TARGETS > Runner > General > Bundle Identifier, the value is set as expected (my package name)
In TARGETS > Runner > Build Settings > Packaging > Info.plist File, I have the correct location: Runner/Info.plist
I tried flutter clean, Invalidate caches & Restart on Android Studio, Clean Build Folder on Xcode
I tried even more cleaning as explained here

And here is my Info.plist file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

    <string>NSCameraUsageDescription</string>
    <key>CADisableMinimumFrameDurationOnPhone</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

But I still have that error just when the app is about to launch, which I have no idea where it comes from since it was working perfectly just two days ago.

Does anyone know how to fix that?

Thanks.

Open the workspace file in xcode. Select runner from the side panel and select general tab. You should be able to see the bundle id. Add bundle id in this section

EDIT /Users//Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData

remove all contents of this folder and from Xcode go to product, clean build folder and then build again

Change use Release for command line builds to debug and build once. Then switch it back to release

Thanks, but it's already set. As I said, it worked fine a couple days before, but not anymore, for some reason. – matteoh Jun 12 '22 at 08:13
updated my answer please check – Kaushik Chandru Jun 12 '22 at 09:11

Go to finder. On top you will see a go then select goto folder. Enter ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData this will take you to the derived data folder. – Kaushik Chandru Jun 12 '22 at 10:25
My bad, I didn't know `Library` was hidden – matteoh Jun 12 '22 at 10:29
Still not working, I still have the same error..... – matteoh Jun 12 '22 at 10:33
Edited answer again – Kaushik Chandru Jun 12 '22 at 10:38
Unfortunately still the same error. This is beyond me... – matteoh Jun 12 '22 at 10:47
Please try to build on a real device – Kaushik Chandru Jun 12 '22 at 10:49
That's what I do already – matteoh Jun 12 '22 at 10:53
In the iOS folder delete .symlinks folder, Pods folder and Podfile.lock. Then run pod install from terminal. Then try to build it – Kaushik Chandru Jun 12 '22 at 10:59
Well, guess what? Still the same error! But thanks again for your patience and your help! – matteoh Jun 12 '22 at 11:12
please include your info.plist file – Kaushik Chandru Jun 12 '22 at 11:18
Just updated my post – matteoh Jun 12 '22 at 11:25
info.plist looks good. By any chance do you use Firebase if yes do you have googleservices.plist file included? – Kaushik Chandru Jun 12 '22 at 11:29
Yes I have Firebase and the googleservices.plist files included, and it has always worked perfectly – matteoh Jun 12 '22 at 11:36
In android studio or VS code find `PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER =` and see if any of the results have no value or a different value – Kaushik Chandru Jun 12 '22 at 11:39
I see nothing wrong so far, and again, it was working fine a few days ago and I haven't modified anything. – matteoh Jun 12 '22 at 14:09
Finally managed to make it work as posted above (or below). I still have no idea why it happened in the first place.... – matteoh Jun 12 '22 at 17:16

I finally managed to make it work by:

updating Mac OS
unstalling and installing the latest version of Xcode
