  • did you figure it out? i just ran into this issue. one moment i can build, changed 2 lines of code and boom, this stupid error appears – highboi Jul 20 '16 at 16:19
  • I restarted my project, I never found the solution ... – panic Aug 26 '16 at 23:45
  • @Multinerd Have you found a solution? – KeykoYume Oct 29 '16 at 09:45
  • @KeykoYume clearing derived data fixed it for me iirc – highboi Oct 30 '16 at 08:27
  • Thanks @Lilrom for the hint "I don't have any "Ressources" folder inside my project". This was my issue (even though it was located in a dynamic framework which is part of the app target).

I solve this problem after I delete all build files by Xcode. Your build file path at Xcode > Preferences > Locations > Derived Data

If you didn't change the default path, Your path is like

File Path

I just deleted all files under DerivedData

In my case, this problem occurred when I manually removed a pod from my file browser in XCode. In order to fix it, I deleted the associated entry in my podfile, and ran 'pod install' from the terminal. Additionally, I had to delete the relevant search paths and other references to that pod. And of course I had to clean the project.

In my case, my app's bundle contained a dash like com.some-thing.app so I just changed it to com.something.app and the problem was fixed.

In my case, the value for "Bundle Identifier" key was missing in Info.plist

In my case the info.plist had the wrong encoding format, I still don't know why it changed. So I had to create a new one from Xcode and copy paste all the keys.

Cleaning the project solves my issue. Product -> Clean

I was building the wrong target on a device in my case. I was building the Test target rather than the normal app target.

In my case, I've added a framework into Embed Binaries phase, but it was already in my Link Frameworks and Binaries phase, which created a duplicate entry. Once I deleted one of them, this error starting appearing.

To fix it, I've removed the framework from both build phases and added it one more time

For my case, it's caused by a wrong Info.plist in a framework(lack of Bundle identifier and Executable file)

Use ideviceinstaller -i xx.app can see the detailed error log.

I ran into this issue trying to run flutter build ios, where the errors were related to trying to access WatchOS and TvOS simulators. For now, not sure how to disable that.

What worked was to run flutter run
