xcodeandroid-studioflutterios-simulator

xcode_backend.sh: no such file or directory. Do I need to create this file?

My Flutter Project won't run on the ios simulator and is throwing this error:

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

Running Xcode build...

Xcode build done. 7.6s

Failed to build iOS app

Error output from Xcode build:

↳

** BUILD FAILED **

Xcode's output:

/bin/sh: /Users/pinercode/AndroidStudioProjects/bmi-calculator-flutter/packages/flutter_tools/bin/xcode_backend.sh: No such file or directory

Could not build the application for the simulator.

Error launching application on iPhone Xʀ.

The xcode error was also as follows:

/bin/sh: /Users/pinercode/AndroidStudioProjects/bmi-calculator-flutter/packages/flutter_tools/bin/xcode_backend.sh: No such file or directory

I've already tried running flutter doctor and there were no errors. I also tried re-rooting my xcode 'FLUTTER_ROOT' and 'FLUTTER_APPLICATION_PATH' in build settings, which did not work.

Solution

  • after a lot of messing around, I set these two settings and the build ran on to my physical device.
