I had this error today and I found that the file in question was actually in the .ios directory instead of ios. So I flutter createed to repair the project and removed the .ios directory and now it works.

I have the same issue.

@qtbeee What do you mean by "flutter createed"? flutter create is not a command I can run to repair anything, just to create new projects.

@JonasJW you can indeed use flutter create . to "repair" the current project to a limited degree.
If the ios/ or android/ folders are missing, they are created.
You can use this to switch native language Java/Kotlin, ObjC/Swift or to get the generated files updated to match newer Flutter versions by deleting the directories and running flutter create . [options]. You need to re-apply previously made manual changes yourself though.

I was following https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/first-flutter-app-pt2/#5
Xcode could build for real phone, then I changed the name from Runner to HelloFlutter, and Xcode can still build for iphone, but flutter run is not working, generate Cannot open file ios/Runner.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj error.

And I changed the name back, everything is working again.

Delete the flutter cache folder located at /Users/username/Documents/flutter/bin/cache and run flutter doctor, it will download all dependencies again. Worked for me.

The only solution for me is to remove the build folder: rm -rf build/
