Disclaimer: First of all, this is my early attempt to play with Flutter. So forgive me if is a noob question.

I had been playing with an MVP-Clean architecture for Flutter apps in iOS, and when trying to build a data source where I can persist data easily I found PathProvider plugin.

After trying the next:

  • Add dependencies to the project

    dependencies: path_provider: "^0.4.0"

  • Provide dependencies

    flutter packages get

    pod install

I try to compile the project and the compiler shouts: ** BUILD FAILED **

Xcode's output: ↳ === BUILD TARGET Runner OF PROJECT Runner WITH CONFIGURATION Debug === /proect_directory/ios/Runner/GeneratedPluginRegistrant.m:6:9: fatal error: 'path_provider/PathProviderPlugin.h' file not found #import <path_provider/PathProviderPlugin.h> ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1 error generated.

I did a quick search and I did not find anything useful.

Could anyone illuminate my path?

EDIT:

Already tried with:

flutter update-packages --force-upgrade

And the doctor output does not show any errors:

flutter doctor

  • Can you please try `flutter update-packages --force-upgrade` and then `flutter build apk` again? Please also provide the output of `flutter doctor` – Günter Zöchbauer Mar 13 '18 at 09:46
  • @GünterZöchbauer thanks for the response, I updated the question with more info. the `flutter build apk` works well, but I am getting the error on the iOS side :/ – MiguelCatalan Mar 13 '18 at 10:09

    Check also https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/10654 for things to try. – Günter Zöchbauer Mar 13 '18 at 10:24
  • Switching to `dev` channel might be worth a try as well `flutter channel dev`, `flutter doctor` and try building again. – Günter Zöchbauer Mar 13 '18 at 10:26

    You shouldn't ever have to run "flutter update packages --force-upgrade", that's just a tool used by the team to update our internal dependencies. Using that on your own project will likely make it impossible to use "flutter upgrade" again. :-/ – Ian Hickson Mar 15 '18 at 21:49
  • I have same error. In my case, I usually open ios project folder from VS Studio Code > ios > open in xCode open. This lead me [PathProviderPlugin.h] not found error. I solved it by running [open ios/Runner.xcworkspace] in a terminal window from Flutter project directory! – Mizuki Jan 31 '20 at 05:15

This issue should be fixed by https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/15437

To apply the fix to an existing project, add these lines to ios/Podfile.

I finally find a workaround.

I went to the GitHub repo, found the PathProviderPlugin.h file, and put it inside the location:

build/ios/Debug-iphonesimulator/path_provider/path_provider.framework/Headers/

Sounds a little bit dirty, but was the only way to keep coding.

Hope helps someone. And thanks to @GünterZöchbauer to help me find a useful lead.

  1. Open the project in xcode. i.e On Android Studio, right click -> Flutter -> open in xcode.
  2. Find the PathProviderPlugin.h file. (Find -> Find in workspace -> 3. PathProviderPlugin.h)
  3. Click on the result. In case you cannot find the result, right click on the PathProviderPlugin.m file and choose 'Reveal In Project Navigator'
  4. There you will see PathProviderPlugin.h file.
  5. On right hand side, target membership, change the settings from project to public.

  6. Do this for any files for which compiler is complaining, till you are able to build your project.

    Check the image for reference. Use the highlighted button to open right hand panel (Added For Android devs who don't know much of xcode. :) )

For me this was solved by editing podfile as mentioned by this https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/10654#issuecomment-389034245 and change the xcode's build system to legacy.

I encountered a similar issue and solved it with these simple steps:

  1. Delete the .pub-cache folder inside the Flutter SDK
  2. From the root directory of the flutter project, command flutter clean then flutter pub get
