I recently updated android studio to Flamingo | 2022.2.1 Patch 2 and the followed by updating Flutter and all of its packages.
previously, when I ran flutter build ipa in the terminal in android studio, it would build my apps .ipa without any trouble. now that I’ve updated android studio I’m getting the below error when i run flutter build ipa.

I tried searching for the error that it is giving me, [!] Unable to find a target named RunnerTests
in project Runner.xcodeproj
, did find Runner
.
but cannot find much info about it. has anyone had this trouble before? and if so, how do i go ahead and fix it please? I’m new to flutter and this is beyond me.
thanks so much

As a workaround, I typically
flutter clean
.If that doesn’t work,
rm -r ios
andflutter create --platforms=ios
, which recreates the iOS directory. If you still can’t build, please file an issue at github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/new/chooseAccording to the error message, it seems that there is an issue with the project CocoaPods configuration. In this case, let’s try the following steps:
From the terminal, in the root directory of the project run
In case of not having CocoaPods installed, run
sudo gem install cocoapods
.Next, reinstall the CocoaPods dependencies, by running the following commands:
They remove the existing
Podfile.lock
file, the "Pods" directory thus reinstalling the CocoaPods dependencies.Finally, run
flutter build ipa
.
