Flutter iOS build failed an error of pod files: Podfile is out of date

This mostly happens when you upgrade your flutter application, to solve this issue follow bellow steps

  1. Go to Your_Project_Directory/ios/ and remove Podfile or you can do it by running the following command in the root project directory

    rm ios/Podfile
    
  2. Run your project again, this will create a new and updated Podfile for you

    flutter run
    

Use pod install command in your ios directory to install new pods in your project. Even if you already have a Podfile and ran pod install before. This should work for you. I ran into the same problem some time ago and this is how it was solved.


I'm not sure if this will work for everyone but my issue was fixed by running flutter run from the terminal.

I was just using the Flutter launcher from vscode and it kept throwing errors.

I had a Podfile already setup but I think flutter run maybe updated it or reinstantiated it? I'm unsure.

My issue was caused from an update to Flutter
