Description

Using the Xcode 16 beta, I ran into this issue trying to build my projects. It only happens when I include the cloud_firestore plugin.

unsupported option '-G' for target 'x86_64-apple-ios10.0-simulator'

Reproducing the issue

Use Xcode 16 beta on macOS Sequoia beta. Create a new flutter project, add cloud_firestore as a dependency.

Met the same issue. Any fixes?

Having the same issue, any updates?

For me, changing the 'Allow Non-Modular Inludes in Framework Modules' to yes was not enough. I found the solution in this video below.

https://youtu.be/vZdo55YSC5A?si=BtCjSbHQGT3Ja0Ip

1) Open podfile 2) change post install to:

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    if target.name == 'BoringSSL-GRPC'
      target.source_build_phase.files.each do |file|
        if file.settings && file.settings['COMPILER_FLAGS']
          flags = file.settings['COMPILER_FLAGS'].split
          flags.reject! { |flag| flag == '-GCC_WARN_INHIBIT_ALL_WARNINGS' }
          file.settings['COMPILER_FLAGS'] = flags.join(' ')
        end
      end
    end
    flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '13.0'
    end
  end
end

3) open Xcode > select target > build settings > change 'Allow Non-Modular Inludes in Framework Modules' to YES.

i hope this helps @root-daemon @yanshengjia

[root-daemon]

@sgamzeo I tried, that it worked, however I am stuck with a different error now, the firebaseApp being not initialized.

for somereason the flutter project took nearly 30 minutes to build, so I ended using Xcode to build it.

@doyeonjeong - did you include this in your Podfile to help with build times?

pod 'FirebaseFirestore', :git => 'https://github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks.git', :tag => "11.4.0"

This ought to fix this problem.
