Compiler Error In iOS

[yairsts]

I use sqlcipher_flutter_libs: 0.6.0, in Android everthing works properly, but in iOS I got some errors.

Help please 🙏🏼

[simolus3]

It sounds like you might be linking both sqlite3 and sqlcipher, for instance because another Flutter plugin or native dependency needs sqlite. Did you try adding this to your podspec?

[yairsts]

Yes, this is my Podfile:

platform :ios, '11.0'

ENV['COCOAPODS_DISABLE_STATS'] = 'true'

project 'Runner', {
  '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

require File.expand_path(File.join('packages', 'flutter_tools', 'bin', 'podhelper'), flutter_root)

flutter_ios_podfile_setup

target 'Runner' do
  use_frameworks!
  use_modular_headers!

  flutter_install_all_ios_pods File.dirname(File.realpath(__FILE__))
end

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      xcconfig_path = config.base_configuration_reference.real_path
      xcconfig = File.read(xcconfig_path)
      new_xcconfig = xcconfig.sub(' -l"sqlite3"', '')
      File.open(xcconfig_path, "w") { |file| file << new_xcconfig }
    end
  end
end

Still i get this error.

[simolus3]

Do you have a dependency on both sqlite3_flutter_libs and sqlcipher_flutter_libs? -framework sqlite3 and -framework sqlite3_flutter_libs should not appear in that list if you want to use SQLCipher.

[yairsts]

No, I removed sqlite3_flutter_libs. -framework sqlite3_flutter_libs left, I remove it now and unfortunately, I still get the error Of course, I delete all Pods folder and podfile.lock and run Pod install

[typexy]

having the same issue here. thought it was an issue due to flutter version upgrade. but downgraded it again, still the same issue.

[typexy]

but for me I have the following dependencies:

• drift: 2.13.1
• sqlite3_flutter_libs: 0.5.17, and tried it also with 0.5.18

It also doesn't work with this fix suggestion.

[easazade]

I have the same problem. there should be a fix for this

[easazade]

writing this comment if you have the same problem as me and are desperate for a fix, maybe this works for you. If you are using drift database package and using sqlite3_flutter_libs package only to making sqlite3 database to work on Android. maybe you can fork the repo and delete the iOS side of the plugin. that way iOS compiles successfully and Android app works as well. here is my fork if you need it. https://github.com/easazade/sqlite3.dart/tree/remove-ios

[psikosen]

Any fix for this yet ?
