Flutter_cached_network_image: Failed to build iOS due to sqflite transitive dependency

[luis901101]

🐛 Bug Report

Currently I added the cached_network_image: ^2.3.3 to my project dependencies and now iOS build is failing with:

error: the following command failed with exit code 0 but produced no further output
    CompileC /Users/myuser/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Runner-adczpfoxmrmmcrenpvwevoumfynr/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Pods.build/Release-iphoneos/FMDB.build/Objects-normal/arm64/FMDatabase.o /Users/myuser/builds/ErPwZgwM/0/axonstream/axon-pos-flutter/ios/Pods/FMDB/src/fmdb/FMDatabase.m normal arm64 objective-c com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler
    /Users/myuser/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/sqflite-1.3.1+2/ios/Classes/SqflitePlugin.m:3:9: fatal error: 'fmdb/FMDB.h' file not found
    #import <fmdb/FMDB.h>
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
    1 error generated.

I checked my project and the only dependency that uses sqflite as transitive dependency is cached_network_image, if I remove cached_network_image from my dependencies then transitive sqflite is removed also from pubspec.lock... and iOS build is successful.

Expected behavior

The iOS build should build successful.

Reproduction steps

Just added the cached_network_image: ^2.3.3 dependency to my project and iOS build starts failing.

I also have a doubt here, why use sqflite? it wouldn't be better/faster/simpler to use a no sql storage like Hive

Could you maybe try pub upgrade?

Could you maybe try pub upgrade?

Yes I've done it, in fact was the first thing I did when I get the first fail... but the fail remains the same

[luis901101]

I also did manual:
pod install
pod repo update
and still failing.

Same here

Force the 'platform' on my ios/Podfile worked for me.

platform :ios, '9.0'
