[FIXED] Could not build application for the simulator for flutter

I have done every thing and changed the iOS version to 10 in the pod file but it is still getting the error.

Could not build the application for the simulator.
Error launching application on iPhone 11.

Solution

This error can occur due to multiple reasons.

• Firstly, it can occur due to some native error which can be found by building the app in Xcode using ⌘ + B. If that's the case then you can solve the error and try building the app in the Xcode itself. If it succeeds in the building process then your app will run from Simulator.

• Secondly, try to change the iOS version from Xcode if not done already.

• Thirdly, it can occur due to some changes in the pods. To fix this follow the following steps:

  • rm ios/Podfile

  • flutter pub get to get packages.

  • Remove Pods folder from the ios folder in the directory.

  • cd ios then pod install

  • flutter clean

  • Run the project. ( Press F5 if you are using VSCode )

I hope this solves your issue.
