How to solve "error running pod install" in flutter on mac?


This happens when we change any plugins versions or flutter pub package.

I was getting a similar error, so I used many different things but still nothing happened but finally I got an exact solution For the solution follow the below steps

  1. Delete the podfile.lock file from the ios folder.

  2. Open the terminal, go to the ios folder directory and run pod install. It could take some time to install.

    If pod install gives any error then try this

    pod install --repo-update 
  3. After everything is done run your project again

    flutter run

Ref:- Running pod install


I got this error when I was using Firebase in flutter, the solution for me was to set the Podfile deployment target to a iOS version higher than 9.

Example:Changed this

#platform :ios, '9.0'

to

 platform :ios, '13.0'


In Flutter project, I Also faced with this issue. Fixed by updating flutter and cocoa pods to the latest version.

Solution:-

  • flutter clean
  • rm -Rf ios/Pods
  • rm -Rf ios/.symlinks
  • rm -Rf ios/Flutter/Flutter.framework
  • rm -Rf ios/Flutter/Flutter.podspec
  • flutter pub get
  • cd ios
  • pod install
  • arch -x86_64 pod install(On an M1 mac use => arch -x86_64 pod install)
  • cd ..
  • flutter build ios
  • flutter run
