Flutter 'Error running pod install' 'Pods-Runner' target has transitive dependencies

Question

When trying to run my flutter project I get:

Error running pod install

(I saw another very similar post but I'm not sure if I'm having the same issue.)

I'm writing Dart code with Flutter on macOS Mojave version 10.14.6.

I've tried:

• flutter clean
• flutter doctor
• flutter upgrade
• `flutter precache
• flutter run

I've tried every flutter command in every possible combination of said commands, but still get the same error.

flutter doctor:

Error running pod install
Error launching application on iPhone 11 Pro Max.

I also updated a bunch of different programs like cocoapods and rubygems.

I think it has something to do with one of these installations:

    -> Installing barcode_scan (0.0.1)

Because it uses the versions in my pubspec.yaml, then just start using 0.0.1 for some reason.

pubspec.yaml

flutter run Error running pod install

Not sure what else I can do to get a better error message...

Answer 1

You can see the error in the message

[!] Automatically assigning platform `iOS` with version `8.0` on target
`Runner` because no platform was specified. Please specify a platform for
this target in your Podfile.

So, go to the file ios/Podfile inside your project, find there the line

# platform :ios, '9.0'

and uncomment it.

After that delete ios/Podfile.lock file and run project again (or pod update)

Answer 2

1. cd ios/
2. rm Podfile.lock
3. pod install
4. pod repo update

Answer 3

run this code on the terminal

sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi

Next, go to the ios folder in your project, and open Podfile.

find there the line

#platform :ios, '9.0'

remove the # and change the 9.0 to 10.0, and the final code should be like the below

platform :ios, '10.0'
