Unable to load contents of file list: '/Target Support Files/Pods-Target Name/Pods-Target Name-frameworks-Debug-input-files.xcfilelist'

Question

I am getting two errors,

1. Unable to load contents of file list: '/Target Support Files/Pods-Target Name/Pods-Target Name-frameworks-Debug-input-files.xcfilelist'
2. Unable to load contents of file list: '/Target Support Files/Pods-Target Name/Pods-Target Name-frameworks-Debug-output-files.xcfilelist'

Following are the contents of my Podfile,

flutter_application_path = 'flutter module path'

load File.join(flutter_application_path, '.ios', 'Flutter', 'podhelper.rb')

target 'Target Name' do

install_all_flutter_pods(flutter_application_path)

end

I have a flutter module which I am using in my project. So for that I am integrating that flutter module through Podfile.

If anyone wants to know about how to embed flutter module in iOS project, Please refer this link https://flutter.dev/docs/development/add-to-app/ios/project-setup

I have tried following solutions,

1. pod deintegrate & pod install
2. Deleting pods folder, podfile.lock, and auto-generated project-name.xcworkspace. Then pod install
3. Deleting the entries in Embed Pods Framework->InputFileLists & OutputFileLists-> Clean Build. (Upon doing this it gives another error of podfile.lock file not in sync. Please do pod install)
4. Deleting derived data -> Clean Build.

I am using Xcode 12.2.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

For me it's was due to recently adding flavor configuration. Thanks to other answers, I've checked .xcconfig files, and files they are looking for.

I've found out, that Pods-Runner.debug.xcconfig file doesn't exist anymore. It was actually replaced by Pods-Runner.debug-myFlavor.xcconfig, so I've modified both Debug.xcconfig and Release.xcconfig like that:

#include? "Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-Runner/Pods-Runner.debug-myFlavor.xcconfig"
//                                                     added this ^^^^^^^^^
#include "Generated.xcconfig"

Answer 2

My solution was to pod deintegrate and pod install afterwards. Worked for Xcode Cloud pipeline.

Answer 3

in my case i tried

1- pod repo update /pod deintegrate / pod install with no success then i noticed that inside my Runner>Flutter both Debug.xcconfig and Release.xcconfig are missing so i copied both files from older project the content of files is

Debug.xcconfig:

#include? "Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-Runner/Pods-Runner.debug.xcconfig"
#include "Generated.xcconfig"

and

Release.xcconfig:

#include? "Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-Runner/Pods-Runner.release.xcconfig"
#include "Generated.xcconfig"

these steps fixed my project i hope it will fix yours also

Answer 4

@Yash's answer helped me.

I was using Xcode Cloud to build a Flutter project on iOS and encountered the same error.

iOS/Flutter/Release.xcconfig:

Change:

#include? "Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-Runner/Pods-Runner.release.xcconfig"
#include "Generated.xcconfig"

To:

#include? "../Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-Runner/Pods-Runner.release.xcconfig"
#include "Generated.xcconfig"

Answer 5

In my case i replaced ios folder with newly created app's ios folder and adjust changes on info.plist and project.pbxproj files

Answer 6

I figured out the solution for this.

We need to make changes in build-debug.xcconfig and build-release.xcconfig.

In buid-debug.xcconfig, make changes like this,

1. Comment this line: #include "../pods-debug.xcconfig"
2. Add this line below the comment: #include "../Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-Target Name/Pods-Target Name.debug.xcconfig"

In buid-release.xcconfig, make changes like this,

1. Comment this line: #include "../pods-release.xcconfig"
2. Add this line below the comment: #include "../Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-Target Name/Pods-Target Name.release.xcconfig"

Please note, I was facing this issue in Cordova project. I haven't tried this solution in pure native ios project.
