Steps to Reproduce

  1. Initialize new flutter app.
  2. Add any pub dependency.
  3. Run on iOS simulator.

I have tried reinstalling and upgrading both ruby and cocoapods but nothing seems to work. Not sure if this is a flutter problem but figured I will report here because I am not familiar with ruby at all.

Per the error log:

undefined local variable or method 'continue' for #<Pod::Podfile:0x00000001095c1188 @defined_in_file=#<Pathname:/Users/mohamedshadhan/Dev/Flutter/test_app/ios/Podfile>

It indicates there's undefined term continue in your podfile , /Users/mohamedshadhan/Dev/Flutter/test_app/ios/Podfile>, so you'll need to check that and remove if not necessary.

Closing as this isn't a Flutter issue.

Hello, I managed to fix this by changing line 63 of packages/flutter_tools/bin/podhelper.rb from

continue if xcframework_file.start_with?(".")

to

if xcframework_file.start_with?(".")
  next

Would this be a flutter issue? If not, what might be causing this syntax(?) error on specifically my system? I do not believe my podfile was the issue here.

@byytelope I was stuck with the same issue for a whole day. I noticed this error showing up after adding firebase_core to a fresh flutter 3 project.

I am not entirely sure, but this might be because I had my flutter installation and the project on an external ssd. Moving both flutter installation and the project to mac disk seems to fix this issue.

I did this because the # Hidden file, possibly on external disk. comment in the stack trace caught my eyes. This issue with external disk might have started with the recent mac os update 12.4 or flutter 3.

It is a Flutter issue, this is coming from our scripts. You can see it in the backtrace:

  /Users/mohamedshadhan/Tools/flutter/packages/flutter_tools/bin/podhelper.rb:63:in `block (2 levels) in flutter_additional_ios_build_settings'

flutter/packages/flutter_tools/bin/podhelper.rb

Line 63 in 708c363

continue if xcframework_file.start_with?(".") # Hidden file, possibly on external disk.

should be

 next if xcframework_file.start_with?(".") # Hidden file, possibly on external disk.

I swear I tested this, but obviously not since continue isn't a thing in Ruby... #99771
