Fixing `The iOS Simulator deployment target 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET' is set to 8.0, but the range of supported deployment target versions is 9.0`

I usually debug my Flutter apps using the Android Emulator. This time, I used the iOS Simulator. Except it threw this error:

Could not build the application for the simulator.
Error launching application on iPhone 13.

Opening the project in XCode, I can see that the Runner Target and Project are already set to targetting iOS 10.0:

Pods too:

But GoogleSignIn is indeed still set to 8.0:

If I tap Ctrl+A, it lets me individually select versions:

If I Cmd+Tap Pods to unselect it, I can now batch select the Deployment Target:

Before I do anything rash, let's check out what others have to say about it. Let's read this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63973136/the-ios-deployment-target-iphoneos-deployment-target-is-set-to-8-0-in-flutter.

In another, simpler project, it threw this error:

Warning: Podfile is out of date
  This can cause issues if your application depends on plugins that do not support iOS or macOS.
  See https://flutter.dev/docs/development/packages-and-plugins/developing-packages#plugin-platforms for details.
  If you have local Podfile edits you would like to keep, see https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/45197 for instructions.
To regenerate the Podfile, run:

  rm ios/Podfile

Exited (sigterm)

Seems like a simple way to update the Podfile. However it doesn't work in my current project.

Another trick, delete the lock files and download the Pods again.

Running pod repo update also fails because of ffi. Looking back at my previous post http://blog.wafrat.com/fixing-ios-compile-issues-in-flutter/, on M1, I should install ffi like this:

% sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi
Password:

But even after this, pod update fails. Let's try the pristine command they mention.

% sudo arch -x86_64 gem pristine ffi --version 1.15.0

Now it complains about only version 1.14.2:

Ignoring ffi-1.14.2 because its extensions are not built. Try: gem pristine ffi --version 1.14.2

So I ran the same command for version 1.14.2. Finally, pod repo update returned this error:

[!] Oh no, an error occurred.

Let's try to make sense of what happened. I installed ffi 1.15.4 for x86 with Rosetta. And it looks like someone somewhere wants the native version. Google led me to this post on StackOverflow and the most voted for answer is this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/65334677. On top of installing ffi with Rosetta, you should run pod repo update with Rosetta as well: arch -x86_64 pod repo update. This time it does not throw an error:

% arch -x86_64 pod repo update 
Updating spec repo `trunk`

CocoaPods 1.11.0.beta.2 is available.
To update use: `sudo gem install cocoapods --pre`
[!] This is a test version we'd love you to try.

For more information, see https://blog.cocoapods.org and the CHANGELOG for this version at https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/releases/tag/1.11.0.beta.2

The third most upvoted answer (https://stackoverflow.com/a/66556339) advises to install an M1 compatible version of Ruby instead, which supposedly is the native way of doing things, arch -x86_64 being just a workaround. I'll definitely have to try that later.

Now after also running an update of my project dependencies to major versions, the compilation for iOS returns:

`GoogleAppMeasurement` requires CocoaPods version `>= 1.10.2`, which is not satisfied by your current version, `1.10.1`.

Let's update pod then.

Now if I try to compile to iOS, it works fine.

It might be thanks to the major dependency upgrades I did earlier, but now there are only 2 projects left which have the wrong deployment target version. Enough to change them manually without fearing to make a mistake.

Let's fix those. Another problem solved, another error shows up!

A search leads me to this ticket: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/660782. It seems like my issue except the architectures are reversed. So let's exclude x86_64 from my build for the iOS Simulator.

Now the error seems to disappear and compilation goes further, but somehow the target iOS versions of GoogleSignIn and AppAuth are reverted back to 8.0.0:

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the long story of how I did NOT manage to run my app in the iOS Simulator.

The effort is not worth the trouble, since I can easily run the project in the Android Emulator. If the works well in Android, I am nearly assured it will work well on iOS once it's deployed too.

Installing the new Ruby

Coming back after a few days to try again. Using this post, which I had mentioned above, I install Ruby:

% which ruby
/usr/bin/ruby
% brew install ruby
[...install complete logs]
If you need to have ruby first in your PATH, run:
  echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/ruby/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
% echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/ruby/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
** launch a new terminal window **
% which ruby
/opt/homebrew/opt/ruby/bin/ruby

Installing CocoaPods:

pod --version
1.11.2
% sudo gem install cocoapods
[some logs]
% pod --version             
1.11.2 # same version

Looks like CocoaPods was already at the latest version. Then I uninstalled the x64 version of ffi, ran pod install, then tried again and got this:

This time this error is gone:

'Pods_Runner.framework' is missing one or more architectures required by this target: x86_64. (in target 'Runner' from project 'Runner')

Might we be making some progress? Let's set the SDK versions from 8.0 to 9.0 for the two libraries.

... Nope, when I set the two libraries to 9.0, I get this error again:

[app path]/ios/Runner.xcodeproj: error: The linked framework 'Pods_Runner.framework' is missing one or more architectures required by this target: x86_64. (in target 'Runner' from project 'Runner')

This time I went into XCode, target Runner in project Runner and checked the values.

Added x86_64 to the excluded architectures for Debug

This time this seems to have done something. It compiled for much longer and ended up with new errors:

Ok, so now I'll try the Podfile config change, the loop which forces the deployment target to be 9.0 for IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET. I went from:

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

To:

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '9.0'
    end
  end
end

Another suggestion in a comment to this answer was to simply delete the config instead of setting the value to '9.0'.

Now the error is:

warning: None of the architectures in ARCHS (arm64, x86_64, i386) are valid. Consider setting ARCHS to $(ARCHS_STANDARD) or updating it to include at least one value from VALID_ARCHS (arm64, arm64e, i386, x86_64) which is not in EXCLUDED_ARCHS (i386, arm64, x86_64). (in target 'Runner' from project 'Runner')

Removed arm64 from Debug's excluded architectures.

Now I'm getting:

ld: warning: ignoring file /[app path]/build/ios/Debug-iphonesimulator/google_sign_in/google_sign_in.framework/google_sign_in, building for iOS Simulator-arm64 but attempting to link with file built for iOS Simulator-x86_64

Should I flutter clean again?

... Cleaning and compiling again did not fix the error.

So I kept searching until finally I found this:

Apparently Flutter does not work on the iOS Simulator on an M1 Mac. The PR in question has been merged. So maybe we'll be able to do it soonish? Now I know that I shouldn't look further.
