I updated Xcode and MacOS recently and haven't been able to compile my Flutter app on iOS devices/simulators since then. The error keeps changing every time I run it but here's one of the output in the terminal after running flutter run:

Could not build the application for the simulator.

What I have tried so far:

Deleting iOS SDK and simulators
Cleaning Xcode build cache using cmd+shift+k
Creating a new Flutter project and trying to compile it (it failed so that reduces the chances of it being a Flutter issue)
Clearing the DerivedData folder
Clearing settings and cache of simulators
Restarting laptop

Versions:

1. Xcode: 16.0
1. iOS: 18.0
1. MacOS: 15.1 (didn't work with 15.0 either)
1. Flutter: 3.24

What happens if you create a new project directly in Xcode from File > New Project, does that fail the same way?

Yes, I get the same error: Command ClangStatCache failed with a nonzero exit code

I am encountering the same issue. I upgraded to Xcode 16.1 and iOS 18.1, but it made no difference, same error messages.

Previously, I asked:

@chiragbhansali said yes, and then some other folks chimed in too.

I'd like to see the complete build report created for this brand new project:

Choose View > Navigators > Reports.
Select the report associated with your app’s build in the navigator.
Using the filter bar at the top of the build report, select the filter buttons for All and All Messages.
Click Export in the filter bar to save the detailed build report.

You can then use the forums attachment feature (paperclip icon) to share it here.

I was getting this on command line builds using xcodebuild. Specifying a different DerivedData folder fixed it.
