Projects including google_ml_kit do not run on iOS 26 simulator #825
Description
Describe your issue. If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.
Mac architecture: arm64
Xcode version: 26.0.1
Flutter version: 3.38.0
google_mlkit_translation version: 0.13.0
This is easily reproducible with the google_ml_kit example app, or you can reproduce it by creating an empty Flutter project, adding any of the google_ml_kit packages and modifying the Podfile and Runner project as required for google_ml_kit.
This is the error:
Uncategorized (Xcode): Unable to find a destination matching the provided destination specifier:
{ id:F0EF2244-620E-484A-AB85-737E6DC662AF }
Available destinations for the "Runner" scheme:
{ platform:macOS, arch:arm64, variant:Designed for [iPad,iPhone], id:00006000-000818521EC3801E, name:My Mac }
{ platform:iOS, id:dvtdevice-DVTiPhonePlaceholder-iphoneos:placeholder, name:Any iOS Device }
{ platform:iOS Simulator, id:dvtdevice-DVTiOSDeviceSimulatorPlaceholder-iphonesimulator:placeholder, name:Any
iOS Simulator Device }
Could not build the application for the simulator.
Error launching application on iPhone 17 Pro.
The simulator with the ID F0EF... does indeed exist and is running. And I was able to build and run this very project in the simulator just fine before adding google_ml_kit.
I believe this is related to the arm7 exclusion requirement but I'm too dumb to understand the details. Here is the most relevant issue I could find.
I'm not sure if this is an issue with google_ml_kit or the underlying Google ML framework. Maybe some smarter people can chime in?
Steps to reproduce.
-
Attempt to run the google_ml_kit example app with an iOS 26 simulator, or...
-
Create an empty Flutter project:
flutter create --empty --platforms iOS test_ml_kit. -
Add
google_mlkit_translation(or any ML kit package):flutter pub add google_mlkit_translation. -
Make the required changes to the Runner project and the podfile as specified here.
-
Start an iOS 26 simulator.
-
Attempt to run the project (
flutter run).
What is the expected result?
I expect the example app, or any Flutter app using google_ml_kit, to build and run on an iOS 26 simulator.
Did you try our example app?
Yes
Is it reproducible in the example app?
Yes
