I'm following the Firebase for Flutter code lab and cannot build the app.

 ** BUILD FAILED **

I figure it out! I think it is a bit confusing when you start setting up firebase.
When starting an iOS project, the instruction on Firebase tells you to use CocoaPod for the setup.
However, flutter handles all these. So, you don't need to Pod init and Pod install anymore.

Hey, I ran into the same issue.
How did you fix it?

[Willjay90]

@hrsma2i when you're adding Firebase to your iOS app, you just skip step 3 (Add Firebase SDK) and step 4 (ADD initialization code). The yaml file will handle this part for you.

@Willjay90

I tried the following commands.

flutter clean
rm ios/Pod*
flutter build ios

However there is still the same issue.

[Willjay90]

Also, you don't need to write any code in AppDelegate.swift

@Willjay90
I didn't edit AppDelegate.swift.

If you see that error in ios, follow the below steps,

1) Open XCode and open the iOS folder as a project there

2) Adding the "GoogleServices-Info.plist" file via "Add Files" (right click on "Runner" in the left bar and choose "Add Files to 'Runner'") => Select the "GoogleServices-Info.plist" file

The app runs on my simulator on my laptop, but it shows the same error when I try to run it on my physical device. Does anyone have that issue?

Remove the pod file, the podlock file and the pods folder. Then run pod deintegrate from the Terminal and build from Flutter tools. And as the previous comment mentioned, don't add anything to the AppDelegate.

This helped me - Make sure you open Runner.xcworkspace and not Runner.xcodeproj as the latter does not have access to Pods.

Thank you @leeprobert & @toolworld, by following your instructions I was able to test my app on my phone   👍🏽
