Is there an existing issue for this?

Steps to reproduce

Unfortunately the fix with readlink -f (#123890) doesn't work for older Xcode/MacOS reporting error: readlink: illegal option -- f when trying to flutter build ipa. My env is:

[✓] Flutter (Channel stable, 3.7.12, on macOS 12.0)
[✓] Xcode - develop for iOS and macOS (Xcode 13.4.1)

It started to happen when I did flutter upgrade to the latest (from 3.7.7 or so).

To reproduce:

  1. Test on the platform as above
  2. Call flutter clean
  3. Call flutter build ipa or precede it with flutter pub get (doesn't matter in fact)
  4. After some time you get Encountered error while archiving for device. and a few rows above there's error message:

mkdir -p
/Users/rocket/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Runner-bvkptabgpblonedyoijtfiqcpvjk/Build/Intermediates.noindex/A
rchiveIntermediates/Runner/BuildProductsPath/Release-iphoneos/Runner.app/Frameworks
Symlinked...
readlink: illegal option -- f
usage: readlink [-n] [file ...]
Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code

Expected results

No errors when building archives. No -f flag added on XCode version < 14.3

Actual results

Building archive is broken with error message Encountered error while archiving for device. caused by the -f flag.

Hi @rafaellop, please provide the full verbose output of flutter build ipa -v. The output may be huge, so kindly put it into a .txt/.log file or upload it to a service like pastebin so that we can trace the logs.

Thank

Here's the log from the flutter --verbose build ipa (I did it earlier)

Thanks for the logs.

Can you also share your podfile, podfile.lock & pubspec.yaml files?

Thank you

This isn't coming from Flutter, which explicitly doesn't add the flag unless you're running >= Xcode 14.3

flutter/packages/flutter_tools/lib/src/migrations/cocoapods_script_symlink.dart

Lines 36 to 40 in 5d3c1ca

// If Xcode not installed or less than 14.3 with readlink behavior change, skip this migration.
if (version == null || version < Version(14, 3, 0)) {
logger.printTrace('Detected Xcode version is $version, below 14.3, skipping "readlink -f" workaround.');
return;
}

This is coming from CocoaPods:
https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/releases/tag/1.12.1

Essentially CocoaPods 1.12.1 isn't compatible with Xcode 13.x if that doesn't understand the -f flag.

@rafaellop I strongly suggest filing an issue with CocoaPods with reproduction steps.

The workaround from Flutter would be to figure out which Xcode version understands this flag and bump the minimum required to that.

I archived and flutter build ipa successfully on Xcode 14 and 13.4 on CocoaPods 1.12.1.

Pods-Runner-frameworks.sh contains the -f flag.

    source="$(readlink -f "${source}")"

@rafaellop can you give very specific reproduction steps? I don't see it.

@jmagman I also think it's from cocoapods. Regarding the reproduction steps, I've given them in my issue:

To reproduce:

1. Test on the platform as above
2. Call `flutter clean`
3. Call `flutter build ipa` or precede it with `flutter pub get` (doesn't matter in fact)
4. After some time you get `Encountered error while archiving for device`

I can reproduce that each time I try them. To be more sure you can also clean build in Xcode.
However I can successfully build my archive if I remove the -f flag by hand from the .sh script where it's added.

@danagbemava-nc Are the podfile, podfile.lock & pubspec.yaml files still needed after @jmagman discoveries?

I believe it might help us reproduce the issue. I also tried to repro with a few of the plugins I saw in your logs with Xcode 13.4.1 and cocoapods 1.12.1 on codemagic and I could not reproduce the bug.

OK, attached below.

I'd like to mention one thing specific to my project if that may matter. Some of my project files in the lib directory are symlinked from a directory outside the project main directory. Something like this:

myapp/
     lib/
         shared/
             localization # this is a symlink the folder shown below

shared/
     localization/

In the file system it looks this way:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 rocket staff 28 Feb 26 19:38 localization -> ../../../shared/localization

Now the files you asked:

podfile

# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, '13.0'

# CocoaPods analytics sends network stats synchronously affecting flutter build latency.
ENV['COCOAPODS_DISABLE_STATS'] = 'true'

  'Debug' => :debug,
  'Profile' => :release,
  'Release' => :release,
}

def flutter_root
  generated_xcode_build_settings_path = File.expand_path(File.join('..', 'Flutter', 'Generated.xcconfig'), __FILE__)
  unless File.exist?(generated_xcode_build_settings_path)
    raise "#{generated_xcode_build_settings_path} must exist. If you're running pod install manually, make sure flutter pub get is executed first"
  end

  File.foreach(generated_xcode_build_settings_path) do |line|
    matches = line.match(/FLUTTER_ROOT\=(.*)/)
    return matches[1].strip if matches
  end
  raise "FLUTTER_ROOT not found in #{generated_xcode_build_settings_path}. Try deleting Generated.xcconfig, then run flutter pub get"
end

Regarding the reproduction steps, I've given them in my issue:

To reproduce:

1. Test on the platform as above
2. Call `flutter clean`
3. Call `flutter build ipa` or precede it with `flutter pub get` (doesn't matter in fact)
4. After some time you get `Encountered error while archiving for device`

Yeah I saw that, I'm asking for actually specific steps starting with a flutter create and adding the plugins, etc, I'm not sure what "Test on the platform as above" exactly means. I am unable to reproduce the archive issue on Xcode 13.4 or CocoaPods 1.12.1. The -f flag was in the script but it archived successfully.

Platform "as above" is the information about Flutter, MacOS, XCode, versions. I didn't tested using other versions. It's the only platform/environment I use.

OK, now I get what you mean as "steps". I'll try to go all the way starting from flutter create.

So I did a test on a clean project in the same environment:

  1. flutter create test
  2. Added google_fonts: ^4.0.3 to the pubspec.yaml
  3. Called flutter build ipa
  4. Called open ios/Runner.xcworkspace

Finally checked in the XCode the Project Navigator -> Pods -> Targets Support Files -> Pods Runner -> Pods-Runner-frameworks file and it now contains readlink -f in the row 44. I suppose the -f shouldn't be there.

I also did another test and instead of the google_fonts package I added some random package (url_launcher) to the pubspec.yaml and the effect is exactly the same. After flutter build ipa the -f flag appears. flutter pub get before flutter build ipa has no effect on the flag appearance (the Pods section of the project is not yet created in the XCode).

I have same question😢.

MacOS big sur 11.7.6 with xcode 13.2.1.

mkdir -p /Users/Apple/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Runner-cvmzclsfhrthrpcxtfbbfpvtascf/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/Runner/BuildProductsPath/Release-iphoneos/Runner.app/Frameworks
Symlinked...
readlink: illegal option -- f
usage: readlink [-n] [file ...]
Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code

The -f is coming from CocoaPods, not Flutter. @rafaellop did you file an issue with them? I don't see one.

  1. flutter create test
  2. Added google_fonts: ^4.0.3 to the pubspec.yaml
  3. I am on macOS 13.3.1 so I wasn't able to open Xcode 13.4, but I am using its toolchain on the command line to flutter build ipa. I ran flutter build ipa --export-method development (because I don't have the bundle ID set up for the App Store) and it archived correctly.

I'm not sure what else we could do here other than bump the minimum Xcode version to 14.

I am going to bump the Flutter-enforced minimum version to Xcode 14. If you're seeing this:

I strongly suggest filing an issue with CocoaPods with reproduction steps.

Ideally they would add a workaround to this on their side but I don't see a single issue actually reporting it, so they may not even know.

Increase Xcode minimum version to 14 (#125639)
6b73885 
Looks like CocoaPods 1.12.1 is incompatible with < Xcode 14 due to CocoaPods/CocoaPods#11828 (see #123890 for context).

Bump the minimum Xcode version allowed by tooling to 14, released September 2022.

```
[!] Xcode - develop for iOS and macOS (Xcode 13.4)
    � Flutter requires Xcode 14 or higher.
      Download the latest version or update via the Mac App Store.
```

Fixes #125286.
Previous bump at #97746.
