Unable to find a target named `Runner` in project `Runner.xcodeproj` did find `dev` and `prod`

So, I am completely new to flutter.

I was given a project that had been developed a few months before (december 2020) on visual studio code with flutter and dart in order to deploy it on the app store.

I would like to point out that the project was working very well at that time, and a test version had even been deployed on iphones.

I have to make sure that it works locally, and then I’m going to deploy it to the app store.

So I opened the source code of the project in my visual studio, I tried to compile it but it didn’t work, I don’t know if when you open the source code of a project, there are specific configurations to do,

I’m not sure if there are any specific configurations to be made when opening source code for a project, but after browsing the forum, I realized that the error must have come from the most recent version of my flutter, and that’s not the version the application was developed with.

So I followed the instructions coming from this solution here Flutter iOS build failed an error of pod files: Podfile is out of date and here <.https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65516334/flutter-error-invalid-podfile-file-no-implicit-conversion-of-nil-into-string> to generate my podfiles again. Except that now this error is generated at compile time

Launching lib/main.dart on iPhone 8 in debug mode...

    [!] Unable to find a target named `Runner` in project `Runner.xcodeproj`, did

Would anyone have an idea please?

my previous pod file was

and the new created one looks like

  File.foreach(generated_xcode_build_settings_path) do |line|

end

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

and actually when i run flutter doctor, i get

and actually opening my project in xcode gives me this
