Steps to reproduce

❗ Issue: Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code

🔨 Project Summary:

• Flutter project: eds_app
• Target platform: iOS (device)
• Xcode version: 16.4 (16F6)
• CocoaPods used: arch -x86_64 pod install --repo-update
• Using Rosetta Terminal for M4 compatibility

✅ Actions Taken:

• flutter clean, flutter pub get, arch -x86_64 pod install, and flutter build ios --no-codesign
• Rosetta terminal used throughout
• Manual changes made in Xcode (Build Phases, Embed Flutter Frameworks, Base Configuration)
• Verified existence of Generated.xcconfig
• Verified .xcworkspace is being used to open in Xcode
• Deleted and reinstalled Xcode from the App Store
• Cleaned Derived Data and rebuilt Pods
• Added missing scripts (e.g. Embed Flutter Frameworks)
• Re-installed Firebase and other dependencies

⚠️ Error (Final and Persistent):

Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code  
/Users/evans/Documents/eds_app/build/ios/Release-iphoneos/App.framework: (l)stat: No such file or directory

💭 Request:

I am requesting help from GitHub and Flutter team. If needed, I am fully open to deleting the entire ios/ directory and regenerating the platform folder from scratch.

Here is my Repo https://github.com/MrTolaMan/Command-PhaseScriptExecution-failed-with-a-nonzero-exit-code

System:

• macOS on M4 MacBook Air
• Rosetta Terminal used
• Flutter stable channel

🙏 Thank you!

Expected results

I expected my iOS app to build successfully from the command:
flutter build ios --no-codesign
Specifically, I expected: The iOS build process to complete without errors.
No "Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code" errors.
All build artifacts (like App.framework, Generated.xcconfig, and Pods-Runner-frameworks.sh) to be generated properly.
Successful pod installation and Runner.xcworkspace to build and launch from Xcode.
Visual Studio Code and Xcode to reflect a clean, working iOS build environment with no missing files or red references.
A debug or release .ipa output that can be tested on physical devices.

Code sample

[import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:firebase_core/firebase_core.dart';

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  await Firebase.initializeApp(); // 🔥 Triggers build issues
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Firebase Test',
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('Test App')),
        body: const Center(child: Text('Firebase Init Test')),
      ),
    );
  }
}
