Find your project in the list and click on it.

Under Derived data, click on the Delete button.

4. Create a New Project

If the problem persists, a more robust approach may be to create a new Flutter project with the same bundle ID and transfer your existing code and necessary files. Here's a simplified way to accomplish this:

Create New Project: In your terminal, navigate to the directory where you want to create the project and run:

Set the Same Bundle ID: Open the ios/Runner.xcodeproj file in Xcode, and update the bundle identifier to match your original project.

Replace Your Existing Code: Move your custom code files and resources from the old project to the newly created one. Be sure to carry over only what’s necessary to minimize potential errors.

Copy Necessary Files: Also, make sure to copy any crucial iOS and Android mandatory files.

5. Build and Run Your Application

After completing the steps above, try building and running your Flutter application again in Xcode. The steps taken should resolve the module not found error that was plaguing your project.

Conclusion

Encountering the "fatal error: module 'location' not found" error can be frustrating, especially when you want to implement essential features like geolocation in your app. Following the outlined steps should solve the issue effectively. Remember to always keep your Flutter and plugin versions up to date, especially when working on M1 Macs, to avoid architectural pitfalls.
