Context #

I know exactly how frustrating this is—you fixed your Flutter dependency issues on Windows by switching to CodeMagic, but now when running the iOS build command:

/usr/local/bin/flutter build ios --debug --no-codesign

Xcode throws an error pointing to line 10 of /Users/builder/clone/ios/Runner/GeneratedPluginRegistrant.m, saying it can't find the firebase_auth module, killing the build entirely.

Proven Solutions to Try #

Let's walk through the most common fixes for this specific CodeMagic + Flutter + Firebase scenario:

1. Validate Your Flutter Firebase Dependency Setup #

First, double-check your pubspec.yaml to ensure firebase_auth is correctly declared and compatible with other Firebase plugins (like firebase_core, which is required):

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  firebase_core: ^2.24.2 # Use a version compatible with your firebase_auth
  firebase_auth: ^4.16.0 # Stick to a stable, compatible release

Add a flutter pub get step to your CodeMagic pre-build script to ensure dependencies are pulled fresh every time.

2. Wipe CodeMagic's Build Cache & Reset iOS Dependencies #

Cached build artifacts in CodeMagic often cause stale plugin references. Here's how to fix it:

• In your CodeMagic build configuration, enable Clear build cache before build under the Build Cache section
• For a deeper reset, add this pre-build script to clean up iOS-specific files:

  cd ios
  rm -rf Pods Podfile.lock Runner/GeneratedPluginRegistrant.*
  pod deintegrate
  pod repo update
  

3. Confirm iOS Firebase Configuration is Complete #

Don't overlook the basics:

• Make sure your GoogleService-Info.plist (downloaded from Firebase Console) is placed in the ios/Runner directory and added to your Xcode project target (not just copied into the folder)
• Check your ios/Podfile has the correct minimum iOS version and framework settings:

  platform :ios, '12.0' # firebase_auth requires iOS 12.0+
  use_frameworks! # Required for some Firebase plugins with Flutter 2.0+
  

4. Regenerate the Plugin Registrant File Manually #

Sometimes GeneratedPluginRegistrant.m doesn't update correctly. Fix this locally first, then push the changes:

flutter clean
flutter pub get
flutter build ios --debug --no-codesign

Commit the updated GeneratedPluginRegistrant.m to your repo, then re-run the CodeMagic build.

5. Match CodeMagic's SDK Versions to Your Local Setup #

Mismatched Flutter or Xcode versions can break plugin compatibility:

• In CodeMagic's build configuration, select the same Flutter SDK version you use locally
• Ensure CodeMagic uses an Xcode version that supports your Firebase plugin (e.g., newer firebase_auth versions require Xcode 14.0+)

Verification Step #

After applying any of these fixes, trigger a new CodeMagic build. If the error persists, check the pod install output in the build logs—this will tell you if firebase_auth was actually installed correctly.
