IOS archiving failed

[amrLLSE]

Hello

I'm facing this error while archiving the app, it builds normally when building it to a device, but not archiving in XCode.

I have read the docs and added this to my pubspec.yaml, fully cleaned the project and caches in both flutter and ios module, updated CocoaPods to latest, unfortunately nothing works.

Prepare build
error: Multiple commands produce '/Users/username/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Runner-fcxhffjmdtbzsbcfbguxqatlgxnj/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/Runner/IntermediateBuildFilesPath/UninstalledProducts/iphoneos/SQLCipher.bundle'

@amrLLSE Could you share your full pubspec.yaml file?

[amrLLSE]

@davidmartos96 I have run flutter pub deps and these are all the results related to sql

And this is the part I have added from the plugin docs:

dependency_overrides:
  sqflite:
    git:
      url: https://www.github.com/davidmartos96/sqflite_sqlcipher.git
      path: sqflite
      ref: fmdb_override

My Dart & Flutter versions: Dart SDK 3.3.4 Flutter SDK 3.19.6

In pubspec.yaml:

  sdk: ">=3.0.0"

@amrLLSE Could you provide the pubspec.yaml file instead of the deps command? It might show other causes for the problem.

[davidmartos96]

@amrLLSE Also, is there any reason why you are running sqflite version 2.0.3 instead of the latest? With the latest version of sqflite you don't need to provide the override for sqlcipher.

You can do flutter pub upgrade sqflite to update the dependency in your .lock. Latest version is 2.3.3

[amrLLSE]

@davidmartos96 Unfortunately sharing any full file code from my project is against my company NDA, I hope you are understanding that 🙏 but sure I will assist you with anything I can do to resolve this issue. Can you explain more about that: (It might show other causes for the problem.) Causes like what?

I was just using latest sqflite but it produces the same issue, so I have tried this workaround. Now removed it and did flutter pub upgrade sqflite but the same issue happens.

[davidmartos96]

@amrLLSE It was in case some other dependency is adding sqlcipher as well, causing conflicts. I would look for sqlcipher_flutter_libs in your .lock file, which is the other well known dependency for sqlcipher on flutter apps. https://pub.dev/packages/sqlcipher_flutter_libs/changelog

[amrLLSE]

@davidmartos96 Okay let me check that and get back to you.

[davidmartos96]

@amrLLSE You can also try to reproduce the issue in the example app in the repository. It might take a few days until I can grab a macOS device to test the issue you are having. If you try it we can at least know if it's a problem in your project or in the package.

[amrLLSE]

@davidmartos96 No any other dependency is adding sqlcipher.

Okay I will try to reproduce using the example project and get back to you. Thanks so much for your understanding and support 🙏

[amrLLSE]

@davidmartos96 It is reproducible on the example project, just open ios module in XCode and archive, the same error appears instantly.

[albrewot]

Having the exact same error. Started happening after updating XCode to the latest version a couple days ago

[davidmartos96]

@amrLLSE @albrewot We have been able to reproduce it, but we are not sure what the solution is. We were able to bypass the error by removing the SQLCipher dependency from the podspec in the ios/macos folder and only leaving FMDB/SQLCipher, which depends on SQLCipher transitively. The problem with this is that we lose control over which SQLCipher version gets pulled. Latest would always be used, which sometimes might require changes in the plugin before updating, so this is not a reliable solution.

If anyone has more context on why this happens PRs are welcome.

@davidmartos96 On another project i was using an older version of this package (^2.2.0), downgraded from latest (3.1.0+1) to (2.2.0) on the project with the error and was able to archive on XCode, although now i need to lookout for possible bugs because of the downgrade.

I'm facing the same issue. I need to downgrade to version 2.2.1 to archive it.

Hi! I archived the app using the following method. Please change the "PRODUCT_NAME" and "CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR" settings using the Podfile.

[Boburshoh]

Please add the following code to your Podfile to resolve the build conflict issue by specifying a unique PRODUCT_NAME for the FMDB-SQLCipher target:

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    if target.name == 'FMDB-SQLCipher'
        target.build_configurations.each do |config|
            config.build_settings['PRODUCT_NAME'] = "FMDBSQLCipher"
        end
    end
    flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
  end
end

This modification ensures that the FMDB-SQLCipher target has a distinct output name, preventing the 'Multiple commands produce' error during build.
