Flutter regenerate ios folder

When you run the command “flutter regenerate ios” in your Flutter project, it regenerates the iOS files and folders necessary for building your Flutter app on iOS devices. Here is a detailed explanation of the process along with some examples.

Regenerating iOS Folder in Flutter

The “flutter regenerate ios” command is used to recreate the iOS project files and folders in your Flutter project. This is typically done when you have made changes to the native iOS code or configuration and need to update the Flutter project with those changes.

When you run the command, it performs the following steps:

1. It generates Xcode project files necessary for building the app using the Flutter engine.
2. It updates the Flutter framework dependencies and configurations.
3. It copies the necessary Flutter engine files into the iOS folder of your project.
4. It regenerates the project’s Podfile and installs the dependencies using CocoaPods.

Example

Let’s say you have made changes to the native iOS objective-C code in your Flutter project. After making these changes, you run the command “flutter regenerate ios” in the terminal.

This will recreate the iOS folder with updated project files and dependencies. It will also update the Flutter engine files and regenerate the Podfile to reflect the changes made.

After running this command, you can open your project in Xcode and build it on iOS devices with the updated changes.
