How to handle errors when running the pod install command?

When running pod install, the following error occurs:


_1
[!] Invalid Podfile file: /xxx/ios/Flutter/Generated.xcconfig must exist. If you’re running pod install manually, make sure flutter pub get is executed first.

Reason

The error message indicates that the Generated.xcconfig file is missing. This file is necessary for building the Flutter app on iOS devices. If you do not run flutter pub get to generate this file before executing pod install, you will encounter this error.

Solution

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

  1. Open the terminal and navigate to the root directory of your Flutter project.
  2. Run the flutter pub get command to fetch and update the project's dependencies. This command will also generate the Generated.xcconfig file and other necessary configuration files.
  3. Rerun pod install.
