Flutter : Could not build the precompiled application for the device. Error launching application on iPhone

Question

I can't run my flutter project on an IOS device.

This is what I got after flutter run. I can't understand why. Please have a look at the error below and tell me how to fix this.

Launching lib/main.dart on iPhone in debug mode...

Could not build the precompiled application for the device.

Error launching application on iPhone.

What can I do to fix this problem? Please give me a command line or sth. Please help me. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

Answer 1

for me after system update the fix was to reactivate flutterfire

dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli

Answer 2

For me the problem was that I installed xcode 16 beta but the flutter run was using xcode 15.4 (that uses the cli tools of xcode 16 instead of its). So I fixes just selecting the right ones under settings>locations>Command Line Tools, if this is the case you will probably see a yellow danger triangle

Answer 3

I have tried all of the above solutions. Noting works for me. Here is the exact solution that worked for me.

Solution: To fix this issue, you can follow these steps:

1. Open Xcode and load your iOS project.
2. In the Xcode project navigator, locate the "Runner" folder within your iOS project.
3. Click on "Runner" to select it.
4. Open the "Build Settings" tab for the "Runner" target.
5. In the search bar, type 'User Script Sandboxing.'
6. You'll find an option named "User Script Sandboxing." Change the value from 'Yes' to 'No.'
7. Save your changes.

Why This Works: This issue is related to the security settings for scripts during the build process. Changing the "User Script Sandboxing" option to 'No' disables the sandboxing for user scripts, allowing Flutter to write the necessary files without encountering permission issues.

Answer 4

Run this command in the ios folder it works for me

pod repo update

Answer 5

In my case, I'm using xcode 13.2.1 and iOS 15.7.3.
Basically, the xcode not support iOS 15.7.3 by default.
So I've had to download the supporting file from here according to this acticle

Answer 6

You will also get this error, if the iOS device is not registered with apple for development.

Answer 7

I got this issue today and this is how i fixed:

1. run flutter clean
2. Restart system
3. Restart ios device

Answer 8

A coworker told me to run:

flutter clean

then:

flutter pub get

after that it worked for me.

Answer 9

What worked for me was a combination of 4 steps:

Step 1, modify Podfile

# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, '12.1'

and add the following (iOS platform must match):

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '12.1'
    end
  end
end

Step 2, switch Flutter channel to master and upgrade Flutter

$ flutter channel master
$ flutter upgrade

Step 3, Upgrade dependencies

$ flutter pub upgrade

Step 4, clean and build

$ flutter clean
$ flutter build ios

Answer 10

If you want to simulate it immediately rather than taking care of the IDE issue generally, go to Tools -> Flutter -> Open iOS module in Xcode. But for a further solution, do a Flutter Clean, and remove the simulator from Xcode -> Window -> Devices and Simulators -> Simulators -> right click on your iOS simulator and click delete. Then add a new simulator from the bottom left corner “+” button in the same Devices and Simulators page you are on. Re run your app in flutter and it should be working.

Answer 11

If you previously followed the FlutterFire steps here: https://firebase.flutter.dev/docs/overview#improve-ios-build-times then it is time to disable the pre-compiled version of Firestore stuff and let Xcode compile it from scratch.

In the file ios/Podfile comment this line:

# pod 'FirebaseFirestore', :git => 'https://github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks.git', :tag => '6.26.0'

Run your app and it should work now.

Answer 12

I just faced the same problem. IOS logs are not correctly described like Android. So try to follow the instruction below its work for me.

1. Run current code in Android Emulator. I have found that in Android logs show some of my dependencies syntaxes were deprecated (For me is flutter_svg)
2. I have changed the version of the flutter_svg version to ^0.19.0. You need to fix all the deprecated syntax of your run log.
3. Try to run in Android Emulator now it's work for me.
4. Try to run in IOS Emulator. (First time it's not working so I close IDE and reopen again and run) In this case flutter clean should sort your problem.

This works for my problem.

Answer 13

Yes, I also got into this after upgrading to ios 14. So, first, add this to you podfile:

platform :ios, '9.0'

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      # drop deployment target so it works with ios14
      config.build_settings.delete 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
    end
  end
end

and also run: flutter upgrade

For me, these 2 things fixed the problem.
