Xcode 26.2 fails building Flutter iOS app – xcode_backend.dart null exception
Hello, after updating macOS to 26.2 and Xcode to 26.2 (Build 17C52), I am unable to build a Flutter iOS application for the simulator. Environment: macOS 26.2 (darwin-arm64) Xcode 26.2 (17C52) Flutter 3.38.7 (stable) Dart 3.10.7 CocoaPods 1.16.2 Target device: iPhone 16e Simulator (iOS 26.x) Issue: The build fails during the Flutter Xcode build phase with this error: Unhandled exception: Null check operator used on a null value #0 Context._embedNativeAssets (file:///opt/homebrew/share/flutter/packages/flutter_tools/bin/xcode_backend.dart:341) Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code. Additional info: Runner target uses Pods-Runner.debug/profile/release.xcconfig correctly SUPPORTED_PLATFORMS = iphoneos iphonesimulator SDKROOT resolves to iPhoneOS26.2.sdk even when building for simulator Build Settings and Run Script phases are default Flutter-generated Issue occurs both via flutter run and directly from Xcode Project worked before macOS/Xcode update It appears Xcode 26.2 may be resolving SDKROOT or build environment incorrectly for Flutter projects, causing Flutter’s xcode_backend.dart to crash. Could you please advise whether this is a known issue or requires a workaround? Thank you. Best regards David
