ld: framework not found Flutter

When I build flutter project for iOS on iOS simulator, it gives me an error

ld: framework not found Flutter

and the build fails.

This is the error message when I try to build flutter project from xcode:

I Got this issue while Building an Archive for a Project. (Release for iOS) I was cleaning my Mac and accidentally deleted the flutter framework that was the issue. its Simple Solution is to run

flutter upgrade

Restart the System then

flutter clean
flutter pub get
pod install

Everything work like a charm.

If you try all, but still not work!

  • 1,download flutter again.
  • 2,unzip flutter
  • 3,replace your flutter folder.(backup flutter folder before replace )
  • 4,restart your Mac
  • 5,run your project on xcode!

In my case, I got this error after deleting the flutter instances while trying to clean up some storage on my 258go macbook to update Xcode :(, in doing so I probably deleted the flutter.framework.

The solutions given here have not changed anything for me.

So I tried to clean up everything in the pod, including the cache. The pod install command failed because it missed the ios tools, which can be downloaded with flutter precache --ios.

So the complete process to solve this problem for me was :

cd ios
pod cache clean --all
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/CocoaPods
rm -rf Pods
rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/*
pod deintegrate
flutter precache --ios
pod install

I hope that this solution will help someone and prevent them from losing a whole day's work as it did for me.

I personally tried everything I saw on forums, but what worked for me was deleting the flutter SDK and downloading it again and then running. It worked for me, it is possible something else might work for you. The problem was basically the project was running fine two days ago, then maybe something happened with flutter upgrade downgrade stuff etc that I might have done, which seems to be something that might have introduced this problem. But overall

Summary: deleting flutter SDK and downloading new worked for me

Problem can be solved without installing whole package

I mistakenly deleted Flutter.runner file from the framework directory. It started showing this error while building a release. Then I did following steps instead of installing all package

  1. Removed myproject/ios/Flutter/Flutter.framework folder
  2. In iOS directory run pod install (You can try, delete all pod configuration and install again)

What might be happening? For some developers they are re-installing flutter package and then problem is going away, basically here in my case I would like to add that by loosing flutter.runner file of your project you are removing your iOS configuration of flutter app. Flutter commands are not working so solution has worked.

Try removing CocoaPod from your project

cd ios
pod deintegrate
flutter clean
flutter run

If this doesn't work try reinstalling flutter

I had tried many solutions to this error. Only possible solution is to delete the flutter folder at the FLUTTER PATH, and recopy the flutter folder.

This solved my error.

You are missing the Flutter to add it in its PATH

Navigate to the flutter package, take the folder path and add it to the path which should look like.

export PATH=$PATH:/package_to_flutter/bin

Additionally, format your question so that its easier for people to answer quickly.

Cheers
