Flutter App IOS Release Build Error: Missing Required Icon File

Question

I built the IOS release build and created the Product archive on Xcode. But when I try to validate the archive I get this error:

flutter doctor -v output:

Xcode Deployment Target is 10.0.

Also, the Assets.xcassets folder exists in the ios/Runner folder:

But I don't see it in the Xcode folder structure:

So, for the App Icons Source I cannot choose the AppIcon folder:

Not sure if I asked this clearly, but have anyone encountered the same problem?

Answer 1

I think your file system has gotten out of sync somehow. If you right click on Assets.xcassets in Android Studio and then click Reveal in Finder what does that show? Does it actually exist in your project folder? If it is then you might just need to drag it into Xcode, and delete the current AppIcon file.

Before you do any of that you might also try running flutter clean and File->Sync with File System in Android Studio.
