The problem is with the Cocoapods (it’s a pity Apple isn’t rich enough to provide a package management system of their own). It always ends up with something like this:

```
[!] Automatically assigning platform `iOS` with version `9.0` on target `Runner` because no platform was specified. Please specify a platform for this target in your Podfile. See `https://guides.cocoapods.org/syntax/podfile.html#platform`.

Error running pod install
Error launching application on iPhone 12 Pro Max.

```

I tried un-commenting this line in Cocoapods file:

`platform :ios, '9.0'`

That didn’t really change anything. I found somewhere an opinion that this sort of thing happens because the version of Ruby on my machine (and cocoapods depends on Ruby of course) is below a certain threshold. So I spent quite some time trying and finally updating Ruby and brew. But that didn’t help anything.

I created a completely new Flutter project and copied to it all the essential code from the starter. It didn’t run with the same error.

I created a new default project and started adding to it new code step-by-step following the book. It worked out fine for a while but then it broke again, at the stage of adding `card1.dart`. Same problem.

Any idea what’s going wrong?

Thanks,

Alexander

Thanks for reporting this.  
Do you mind sharing what’s your setup so we can try to reproduce this?  
The output of `flutter doctor` and your version of Cocoapods should be enough.

I tried many different things yesterday and I don’t know what exactly helped but probably it was re-installing Cocoapods. So I am now running the starter project successfully.

Thank you for the prompt response.

Hey Sundraw, I am having the same problem. We’re you ever able to source the exact issue causing this. I did all things you have done and nothing has been a solution for thus far. I am on a Mac M1 and wondering if the architecture is the issue after reading other threads with similar issue.

This article ended up helping me: [Simple way to use Cocoapods on M1 | by Doyeon | CodeX | Medium](https://medium.com/codex/simple-way-to-use-cocoapods-on-m1-ac9e22cf7e1c)

Make Terminal “Open Using Rosetta”… reinstall FFI and Cocoa etc… Then turn off “open using rosetta”… everything worked after Pod installed correctly and back at it!
