Can't run Flutter app on simulator after upgrading XCode to 14.3 because of missing libarclite_iphonesimulator.a file

I’m using VSCode to develop my Flutter app, and I can’t run my Flutter app on simulator (iOS 15, IPhone11) after I upgraded XCode to latest verison (14.3). Here is the error message:

Error (Xcode): File not found: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/arc/libarclite_iphonesimulator.a

Error (Xcode): Linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Could not build the application for the simulator.

    After installing 14.3 I had to modify my ios/Podfile to get my project running again:

    post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
  end

  installer.generated_projects.each do |project|
    project.targets.each do |target|
            target.build_configurations.each do |config|
                config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '11.0'
            end
        end
    end
end

    The issue is that, the deployment targets for iOS must be 11.0 or higher for iOS 16.4.

    UPDATE: As mentioned by @danielrosero, you need to run pod install again, after editing iOS/Podfile.

    I have updated the Pods libraries Minimum Deployments 11.0

    Make sure all the library Minimum Deployments Versions should be above 11.0, Then it worked for me.

    OR

    Add the below code in the end of the Podfile and do pod install.

    post_install do |installer|
  installer.generated_projects.each do |project|
    project.targets.each do |target|
        target.build_configurations.each do |config|
            config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '11.0'
         end
    end
  end
end

    Make sure you have update the pod files after that follow the steps that are mentioned below:

    Step 1

    Track the issue cased by library.If you look at the screenshot I got an error for FMDB Pod:

    enter image description here

    Step 2

    we need to change the iOS version on effected pod file because new xCode not support below iOS 11.0
    enter image description here

    Step 3
    Extra Step you may also face a build distribution error after updating pods. Do this to avoid that issue.

    Change Distribution setting on Target Pod.

    Rebuild your app again on Xcode.
