Recently bought a Macbook air M2 for Flutter development. Android app launching correctly on the Android simulator but having a lot of difficulties getting ios app to work.
The counter example project is working on the ios simulator but not my project. I am wondering if perhaps this is due to Firebase or the fact I cloned the flutter project from Windows. Podfile and info.plist included below.

After much hair pulling, I managed to get the ios app to build by creating a new Flutter project and transferring over my Lib folder.
I also double-checked all the necessary Podfile and Info.plist requirements from my packages but I don't believe this was the issue as I tried going back to my original project and replacing them with the new ones but still no go. Error must be elsewhere.
My advice to anyone else who encounters this would be to not waste your time and instead build a new Flutter project and replace the code with that from your old Lib folder (modify the Android and ios folders as needed by your packages also of course - AndroidManifest, build.gradle, podfile, info.plist, etc.). Good luck!
Recently I had similar issues.
First I removed all the pods for any Firebase products in the Podfile, because it’s actually not necessary to list them in the Podfile.
And after some more hours of trying to fix this, I managed it finally by upgrading my Firebase Storage version to a higher one. In my case this was an upgrade from version 8.1.3 to 10.3.0.
Due to version conflicts I also had to upgrade almost all other Firebase dependencies.
My guess is that there was some corrupt pub-cache data.
