The plist file at path `$PATH_TO_APP/ios/Pods/Intercom/Intercom.xcframework/Info.plist` doesn't exist.

The Intercom library dependency is causing me a severe headache at the moment, and i cannot seem to figure out why I am having issues.

I am running Flutter version 3.13.1.

When I run pod install I get the following error:

....
Generating Pods project
`The plist file at path $PATH_TO_APP/ios/Pods/Intercom/Intercom.xcframework/Info.plist `

When I remove every reference to flutter_intercom I no longer have an issue runnning pod install.

I have tried the following:

• Updated MacOS to the latest version (14.3)
• Updated XCode to the latest version (15.2)
• Pruned every cache, restarted system, etc. All the usual suspects for a Flutter build error like this.

I should probably note, that it works on other users of the same repository, so this issue is mainly if any maintainers have any insights as to what could be the issue.

When coworkers are running pod install a variety of files are created under Pods/Intercom/Intercom.xcframework hereunder:

• Folder called _CodeSignature
• Folder called ios-arm64
• Folder called ios-arm64_x86_64-simuilator
• Info.plist
• LICENSE
• VERSION

Whereas my folder only contains:

• LICENSE

If i try to manually move over the folder to my pods folder, it is replaced with only the LICENSE file again, so this is no solution.

I'm having the same issue.

Which intercom_flutter version are you using?

[QoLTech]

I have tried the last 10 versions on pub.

According to this https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/689485, there can be 2 possible solutions:

Solution 1:

• In the pod file replace 'use_frameworks!' with 'use_frameworks! :linkage => :static'
• Run 'pod install' // now you might get some other issue
• Revert 'use_frameworks! :linkage => :static' changes i.e replace 'use_frameworks! :linkage => :static' with 'use_frameworks!'
• Again run 'pod install'

Solution 2:

Add ENV['INFOPLIST_FILE'] = nil at the top of your pod file

Have you tried any of the above solutions? If not then could you please try?

I uninstalled cocoapods (brew uninstall cocoapods) and then installed again (brew install cocoapods) and that seems to have worked for me.

I also may have used @deepak786's #1 solution along the way as well, but I don't think that's what did it. I always had :linkage => :static.

I also upgraded from XCode 15.1 to XCode 15.2 (15C500b).

@deepak786 We have many dependencies in our project (rather large one) and we only have issues with our intercom dependency.

If we completely remove intercom from our pubspec, we can run pod install (and the app in general) without issues.

I suggest we try to investigate why the flutter_intercom suddenly causes this issue, while other libraries do not.

What's even more peculiar is that we are 4 developers on the same project and flutter versions, without this issue, but a single one of our devs are facing this. The solution for now is to compress and AirDrop the Pods folder over to the broken environment - then pod install works fine

According to cocoapods official documentation they recommend you use the default ruby for mac.

As mentioned working by @QoLTech i attempted switching over to a brew-installation, which seems to have resolved the issue.

I see this error being propagated to other Pods, e.g. here related to a React Native project.

Not sure what is the root cause of this, but keep an eye out @deepak786

I've had the same issue. Upgrading cocoapods from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2 fixed it for me.
