My app was working well until I came across the following issue: "Fatal error: 'Flutter/Flutter.h' file not found #import <Flutter/Flutter.h>" :

This is what worked for me.

  1. Delete your .pubcache folder, you can find it where you installed flutter to (you can run "which flutter" if you are not sure where) it is usually a hidden file so you would have to enable your settings to show hidden files (shift + Command + full stop to show hidden files on Mac).
  2. Run "flutter clean" in your terminal (ensure build folder is removed)
  3. Delete symlinks, pods and podfile.lock from the ios folder
  4. Delete your pubspec.lock file
  5. Build again

If you are still having issues you can go further 1)Downgrade Flutter with "flutter downgrade" 2) flutter pub cache repair 3) delete Generated.xcconfig from ios/Flutter directory 4) pod install (from the ios directory) 5) build again
