[!] Automatically assigning platform `iOS` with version `8.0` on target `Runner` because no platform was specified. Please specify a platform for this target in your Podfile. See `https://guides.cocoapods.org/syntax/podfile.html#platform`.

Error running pod install Error launching application on iPhone 11.

Answer 1

Open [YourProject]/ios/Podfile and remove the # sign from platform :ios, '9.0' and try flutter run. If it doesn't work increase the version number for example to 10.0

Answer 2

Setting Podfile to the version needed for package would work.

For instance, if you want to use webview_cookie_manager 2.0.0, you shoud set minimum version for iOS to 11.0 as given on its spec page.

https://pub.dev/packages/webview_cookie_manager

So on Podfile, setting platform ios value as below works.

 platform :ios, '11.0'
