Troubleshoot

If you're getting an error like this:

Problem: Podfile is out of date please try 'pod repo update'

This could be caused because the following line in podfile:

pod 'FirebaseFirestore', :git => 'https://github.com/invertase/firestore-ios-sdk-frameworks.git', :tag => '8.0.0'

The number '8.0.0' could mismatch the Firebase version specified in the Podfile.lock. This usually happens when the Podile.lock is changed somehow.

To fix this problem you can try the following:

• Instead of '8.0.0' or any version you wrote, change that number to the number your Podfile.lock specifies.

If this does not work, you can try the following:

1. Delete your Podfile, Podfile.lock, and the Pods directory in your ios directory
2. Run flutter clean in the terminal
3. Run flutter pub get in the terminal
4. Run flutter run in the terminal

After following these steps, you can then go to the following THIS github repository to check all the firestore ios sdk framework versions and use the latest or any other version that matches your Podfile.lock

Problem: file not found #import <Flutter/Flutter.h>

Xcode's output:
↳
    In file included from /usr/local/Caskroom/flutter/2.2.3/flutter/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/path_provider-2.0.2/ios/Classes/FLTPathProviderPlugin.m:5:

    file not found
    #import <Flutter/Flutter.h>
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    1 error generated.

This is the only solution that worked for me:

1. Backup ios/Runner folder.

2. Delete the ios folder.

3. Run flutter create (your project name). in the previous folder where you have your project(cd users/user/"projects_folder") (this will recreate your ios folder).

4. Paste your Runner backup in the ios folder (into the project).

5. Open Runner.xcworkspace (into ios folder) and there, check the Version, the Bundle ID, all the info.

6. (If do you Have Firebase, you have to copy and paste again the GoogleService-Info.Plist into the Runner folder (Always through Xcode) (If do you do this manually, it doesn't work).

Finally, flutter run and should work!

If flutter run fails:

1. cd ios
2. pod install
3. cd ..
4. flutter run

Deployment

About build-name and build-number:

• build-name: only need to increase when delivering to PROD\
• build-number: Number used for testing, to know which build has been uploaded.

Which do I have to update manually?

• For testing: Nothing to be done, the build-number gets increased automatically.

• For production: Just increase build-name.

iOS

After CICD has built successfully, you should've received an artifact in the Slack called gifterest.ipa

1. Just download the .ipa artifact
2. Drag and drop to Transporter (download Transforter app if necessary)
3. Click Deliver, and solve any error if there is.

The artifact should be available in app store connect in 15-20 minutes.

Renew Certificate of Distribution (When expired)

First, you should be receiving an email 30 days before expiring. After receiving that email, then follow these steps.

1. Go to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles
2. Click '+' on Certificates to create a new certificate
3. Select iOS Distribution, and then Continue
4. You'll need a Certificate Signing Request. Follow these steps
   1. Open Keychain Access
   2. Go to Keychain Access > Certificate Assistant > Request a Certificate From a Certificate Authority
   3. Add an email to User Email Address, a Common Name such as Gifterest Dev, and leave CA Email Address empty. Also, check Saved to disk.
   4. Click Continue and save it in the Desktop
5. Upload your Certificate Signing Request when requesting new Distrbution Certificate.
6. After Distribution certificate is created, Download it, open it in Keychain Access, and export the P12 file
7. Save the .p12 file in your desktop with a password easy to remember
8. Run following command to get the private key from the certificate:
   
   openssl pkcs12 -in IOS_DISTRIBUTION.p12 -nodes -nocerts | openssl rsa -out ios_distribution_private_key
   Note: Just replace IOS_DISTRIBUTION.p12 with the name of the file you exported
9. Open ios_distribution_private_key file in a text editor.
10. Copy and pase that private key into the CERTIFICATE_PRIVATE_KEY to replace previous key (Delete previous one). Don't forget to Secure the password so that it gets encrypted.
