Issue with running POD INSTALL for the Square API library

Flutter v 2.10.2 iOS v 12.0 Xcode v 14

Steps done:

flutter pub add square_in_app_payments
...
cd ios
...
pub install
...
Installing square_in_app_payments (1.6.1)
[!] The 'Pods-Runner' target has transitive dependencies that include statically linked binaries: (/Users/[redacted]/Desktop/Development/Projects/[redacted]/ios/Pods/SquareBuyerVerificationSDK/XCFrameworks/SquareBuyerVerificationSDK.xcframework and /Users/[redacted]/Desktop/Development/Projects/[redacted]/ios/Pods/SquareInAppPaymentsSDK/XCFrameworks/SquareInAppPaymentsSDK.xcframework)

Tried the following solution with no help:

in Podfile

target 'Runner' do
    use_frameworks! :linkage => :static
    use_modular_headers!

   flutter_install_all_ios_pods File.direname(Fire.realpath(__FILE__))
end

Generates the Pods but will get a linkage issue

@CharmisG Sorry for the late reply. I came to the understanding it is due to the Flutter version. The application we are building is based on Flutter 2.10~2.15 (tested on both), and it does not install the pods correctly, even though I can manually add the Pod libraries (not associated with Flutter) to include them in the library.

Upon upgrading to Flutter 3.10 it seems it downloads the Pod files correctly. However, this issue needs to be resolved for 2.15 as it was working before we requested the Square API team to update their flutter plugin!

As for the Hardware and Software:

Mac mini
Chip:    Apple M1
Memory:  8 GB
MacOS:   Ventura 13.3

Xcode
Version: 14.2(14C18)

Phone
Model:  iPhone XS
Soft:   14.8.1

Not for users: if you are doing use_frameworks :linkage => :static, it will not work! Flutter does not like the static binding of the Pods from what I understand. (I'm not an Apple Dev) I tried importing the library into the Runner->Targets(Runner)->Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content will not work.

Another approach mentioned on a lot of forums was to remove the user_frameworks! line and it also won't work.

I actually solved this by doing what this commenter said: https://github.com/square/in-app-payments-flutter-plugin/issues/216#issuecomment-1510805934

I had a error at first so i had to do a fresh install of the ios folder. kinda a pain in the butt, but it works now

[DamonNomadJr]

Have you tried building a release bundle for upload with it? Also, can you explain what this does exactly? From what I can tell, you are invoking Flutter's iOS builder instead of XCodes if I am correct.

@DamonNomadJr closing this issue let us know if you face any other issue.
