Module 'path_provider' not found

Question

I have used several times the Xcode simulator for my flutter app. One time I tried to change the simulator to iPhone 11 Pro (don't know if it did or did not cause the problem) but since then:

1. I get the error Module 'path_provider' not found.
2. It seems that each time when I double click on the Runner.xcworkspace file, it opens the project file instead. I'm new to Xcode so not quite sure about that but I attached a screenshot.

Things I've tried:

• updated according to the instructions in the warnings (which can be seen in the screenshot).
• deleted all Xcode cache with Reset Xcode
• deleted the android studio project and popped it again from git.
• flutter clean + removed all the pod files + pod install from android studio terminal. according to the explanations here: reinstall pod

What else can I do?

Answer 1

I had the same issue. All I had to do was open the runner.xcworkspace instead of runner.xcodeproj and run the app.

Answer 2

I faced this same error and realized that I have used pod init manually so I deleted the Podfile in the ios folder then run flutter build ios. The Flutter will generate the Podfile correctly and everything works well after that.
