Fixing the Codemagic iOS Build Fails Issue Due to GoogleService-Info.plist

Building an iOS app can sometimes lead to unexpected roadblocks, especially when using continuous integration tools like Codemagic. One common issue Flutter developers encounter is an error stating that the GoogleService-Info.plist file cannot be found. This problem can halt your build process, causing frustration and delays. In this guide, we'll explore a typical scenario involving this error and provide you with clear solutions to get your iOS builds back on track.

Understanding the Problem

When attempting to build a Flutter project for iOS using Codemagic, you may see an error message similar to this:

This error occurs because the build system expects the GoogleService-Info.plist file to be located in a specific directory — in this case, in the /Users/Downloads/ directory — which may not align with your project’s actual structure.

The Context

In the example scenario, the developer ensures that the GoogleService-Info.plist file is actually present in the ios/Runner directory of their project. However, the build system isn't able to access it due to an incorrect file path configuration. Let's dive into the solutions to rectify this issue.

Solution Overview

There are two primary methods to resolve the GoogleService-Info.plist file path issue. You can choose to fix it using Xcode or by editing the project configuration file directly. Below are the details of both approaches.

Method 1: Using Xcode

If you have access to Xcode, follow these steps:

Open Your Project: Launch your Flutter project in Xcode.

Locate the File: Find the GoogleService-Info.plist file within the project navigator.

File Inspector: Click on the file to open the File Inspector on the right panel.

Change Path: Adjust the file path to be "Relative to Project" instead of an absolute path. This allows Xcode and the build system to find the file regardless of its current location in the directory structure.

Method 2: Without Using Xcode

If you prefer not to use Xcode, you can manually adjust the project settings as follows:

Open Project Configuration: Locate and open your project.pbxproj file, which is found within your iOS project folder (ios/Runner.xcodeproj).

Edit the Path: Search for the line that specifies the GoogleService-Info.plist, which might look something like this:

Modify the Path: Change the path part to just "GoogleServices-Info.plist" if the file resides within your ios/Runner/ directory. This will update the reference so that it looks for the file in the correct location.

Conclusion

Whether you choose to fix the issue using Xcode or directly via the project.pbxproj file, ensuring that the GoogleService-Info.plist file is correctly linked can save you from build failures and headaches down the line. By following the steps outlined above, you should be able to remove the errors blocking your iOS builds in Codemagic and continue developing your Flutter app with ease.

Happy coding!
