xCode error causing app to crash immediately after launch

Question

I am having an issue with my flutter app on iOS. It is working well on android and on web but I am getting this error on iOS. I come from a web dev background and do not have a lot of experience in iOS.

I am getting the error below and have zero idea of where to even begin. It appears to be an issue with one of the plugins... but I honestly have not idea. Any help on a direction would be incredibly helpful.

Here is the main

  bool isInDebugMode = false;
  assert(isInDebugMode = true);

  ErrorModel errorModel = ErrorModel();
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();

  bool isDev = false;
  assert(isDev = true);

  if (isDev == true) {
    runApp(Clicket());
  } else {
    runZoned<Future<void>>(
      () async {
        runApp(Clicket());
      },
      onError: (dynamic error, StackTrace stackTrace) {
        errorModel.reportError(error, stackTrace);
        // Send report
      },
    );
  }
}

class Clicket extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _ClicketState createState() => _ClicketState();
}

class _ClicketState extends State<Clicket> {
  var s;
  ThemeBloc _themeBloc = ThemeBloc();
  final navigatorKey = GlobalKey<NavigatorState>();

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    // make sure to close out all blocs to prevent memory leaks
    @override
    void dispose() {
      _themeBloc.close();
      super.dispose();
    }

    // Includes all blocs so they are available across the entire application
    return BlocProvider<ThemeBloc>(
      create: (context) => _themeBloc,
      child: BlocBuilder<ThemeBloc, ThemeState>(
        builder: (context, state) {
          if (state is ThemeStart) {
            _themeBloc.add(CheckTheme());
          } else if (state is ThemeLight) {
            s = state.themeData;
          } else if (state is ThemeDark) {
            s = state.themeData;
          }
          return MaterialApp(
            navigatorKey: navigatorKey,
            localizationsDelegates: [
              GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegate,
              GlobalWidgetsLocalizations.delegate,
            ],
            supportedLocales: [
              const Locale('en', 'US'),
            ],
            debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
            title: "Clicket - Personal Budgeting",
            onGenerateRoute: (rt) {
              return MaterialPageRoute(
                builder: (context) {
                  return LoginMain();
                },
              );
            },
            theme: s,
          );
        },
      ),
    );
  }
}

If I remove the LogIn route and rerun it in xCode, I get this.

Second xCode error

Which is just as cryptic....

When I run things through android studio it doesnt give any insights at all...

NOthing in Android Studio

Even if I remove everything except for a basic scaffold, I still get the same second error as above. But if I create a new project with the same pubspec, it works just fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

So I found the issues...

it had to do with a bad line in the info.plist file.

I had this..

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
    <true/>

and it should be this...

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
    <dict>
            <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
            <true/>
    </dict>

Lesson learned - dont just blindly copy code you find on the internet:-)
