Fix: iOS simulator build failure #340
Description
(We may need to restore iOS project files in this issue, feel free to message me if you think this is needed and/ or require support)
Why
As a developer
I want to run the app on iOS without Flutter Stripe build errors
So that I can contribute to Cherry development regardless of platform
⸻
Acceptance Criteria
• Given a clean clone of the repo
When I open the iOS project in Xcode
Then the project builds and runs on the iOS simulator without errors
• Given the current pubspec.yaml setup
When I run flutter pub get && cd ios && pod install
Then there are no errors related to flutter_stripe or undefined names like 'internal'
• Given the repo state
When I check the .gitignore
Then I see that:
• ios/Pods/ remains ignored
• ios/Runner.xcodeproj and ios/Podfile.lock are not ignored
• ios/Runner/GoogleService-Info.plist is still ignored
• Given the project is configured correctly
When I commit the above iOS files
Then new developers can run the iOS app from a fresh clone with no local setup issues
⸻
Proposed Implementation
• Fix the .gitignore to:
• Keep ignoring ios/Pods/
• Unignore ios/Runner.xcodeproj and ios/Podfile.lock
• Continue ignoring ios/Runner/GoogleService-Info.plist (same logic as Android’s google-services.json)
• Re-add and commit:
• ios/Runner.xcodeproj
• ios/Podfile.lock
• For flutter_stripe issue:
• Investigate Stripe version 12.1.1 and the 'internal' name error
• Check Flutter SDK version compatibility with flutter_stripe
• Fix by downgrading flutter_stripe or upgrading Flutter to a known working combo
• Test on:
• iOS simulator
• Android (to confirm it’s not broken by the change)
• Update the README under “Current iOS Status” with:
• Working flutter_stripe version
• Any minimum Flutter version required
• Reminder that GoogleService-Info.plist is excluded for security and provided separately
