After upgrading flutter to flutter 1.22.4. I am getting the below error while building the Xcode Project.

Runner.app/Info.plist does not exist. The
Flutter "Thin Binary" build phase must run after "Copy Bundle
Resources".

Already tried the below options:

Flutter clean and run.
Removed derived data, clean project, and rebuild.
- rm -Rf ios/Pods
- rm ios/Podfile
- rm -Rf ios/.symlinks
- rm -Rf ios/Flutter/Flutter.podspec
- rm -Rf ios/Flutter/Flutter.framework
- flutter run

After trying all the above options still getting the same error.

Solution

Go to Runner(target app) > Build Phases > Run Script and update the run script with the one below.
```
 /bin/sh "$FLUTTER_ROOT/packages/flutter_tools/bin/xcode_backend.sh" build.
```
Also, verify that Runner(target app) > Build Phases > Thin Binary contains below scripts as suggested in XCode 11.4 Support by the flutter team.
```
/bin/sh "$FLUTTER_ROOT/packages/flutter_tools/bin/xcode_backend.sh" embed
/bin/sh "$FLUTTER_ROOT/packages/flutter_tools/bin/xcode_backend.sh" thin
```

I went with @Dhaval Kansara’s suggestion and the error was still there. But after a clean build the problem went away.

In Xcode Menu, choose "Product" > "Clean Build Folder".

Run the project again, it solved the issue.

There are 2 steps to fix the issue after turn on your terminal window:

-You must navigate to your project folder that you already build with Flutter
-Then you will run as below :
1. $ flutter clean
2. $ flutter pub get
Then you build with the IOS simulator again. The issue will be solved.

Reason:
You have a clash between Xcode versions (old-new) in your app folder. You should clean the old one first and then rebuild it with the new one.
