pod install error: The name of the given podspec 'file_picker' doesn't match the expected one 'gx_file_picker'

Question

I'm getting the following error while doing pod install.

[!] The name of the given podspec 'file_picker' doesn't match the expected one 'gx_file_picker'

I have tried changing the name of the file in 'pubspec.yaml' from gx_file_picker to file_picker but that doesn't seem to work. Further research has not been productive either.

Any idea how to solve this?

Answer 1

I been facing the same problem, what I found is that gx_file_picker/ios/gx_filepicker.podspec:

  s.name             = 'file_picker'

must be changed to:

  s.name             = 'gx_file_picker'

And woudn't do any harm to do this after the change:

1. go into ios folder
2. delete the PodFile.lock file
3. rm -rf Pods
4. pod cache clean --all
5. pod deintegrate
6. pod setup
7. pod install

Now everything works in my project.

Answer 2

I had the same issue. Couldn't resolve this by cleaning Pod's cache. This issue seemingly has connection with pod, but these plugin pods are there because of "flutter pub". I managed to solve this issue by using the following command:

1. flutter pub cache clean
2. flutter pub get
3. pod install (in .ios folder)
