Flutter IOS app stuck at Launch Screen while run

Question

I have been battling with an issue for weeks now and its getting frustrating. My flutter android apk builds and runs well on android but I also tried running on iOS emulator but it has been stuck on the launch screen and doesn't go further.

Things I have tried.

1) Added these files to script under build phases in Xcode.

"$FLUTTER_ROOT/packages/flutter_tools/bin/xcode_backend.sh" embed
"$FLUTTER_ROOT/packages/flutter_tools/bin/xcode_backend.sh" thin

2) Added FirebaseApp.configure() to my AppDelegate file.

3) Reinstalled flutter

4) Switched to various flutter channels

This is the error from Xcode:

Answer 1

What I recommend in such case is to:

1. Switch to the desired Flutter channel (eg beta)
2. Clean the project with flutter clean
3. Remove ios directory (make sure to have backup or git history before deleting)
4. Recreate the ios project with: flutter create. run inside the project directory. This should create fresh iOS project
5. Call flutter pub get

You can also try to update the iOS pods by:

1. Updating the pods repository by running in ios dir: pod repo update
2. Reinstalling pods by: pod install
