Codemagic Install Pods Failure

During Codemagic deployment, errors may occur at the Install Pods step due to iOS dependency conflicts, unstable code branches, or pod version mismatches. This guide outlines steps to identify and resolve these issues effectively.

Prerequisites

• You are deploying an iOS app using Codemagic.
• Your project includes custom code or third-party packages.

Fix Dependency Conflicts from Custom Code

Custom code or third-party packages may introduce conflicting versions of dependencies that prevent CocoaPods from resolving successfully.

Steps to Resolve Install Pods Failure:

• Check for Dependency Conflicts from Custom Code
  Custom or third-party packages may cause version mismatches with FlutterFlow-supported dependencies.

  • Review documentation to ensure package compatibility.

  • Adjust versions in your pubspec.yaml file accordingly.

  • Run:

    flutter pub get

    

• Use a Stable GitHub Branch for Deployment
  Deploying from unstable branches can introduce unexpected errors during pod installation.

  • Ensure you're using a branch that passed previous Codemagic deployments.
  • Remove untested or experimental code.
  • Revert or refactor recent commits that might break dependencies.

  

• Fix Pod Version Compatibility Issues
  CocoaPods may fail to resolve dependencies due to incompatible versions or incorrect iOS deployment targets.

  • Update packages like app_settings in pubspec.yaml to versions compatible with your Flutter version.
  • Raise the iOS minimum deployment target in Xcode if necessary.

  

Deployment Best Practices

• Confirm dependency compatibility before pushing changes.
• Always deploy from tested GitHub branches.
• Verify your deployment target supports all pods used.
