btw, working good on iOS 18.6 (18.6 - 22G86) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-18-6
tirth-patel-nc commentedon Sep 29, 2025
@qiezihwy thanks for the detailed report. I’m unable to replicate this on my end with an iPhone 17 running iOS 26 on macOS 26. Keeping the issue open for the team to track and provide input based on the logs.
qiezihwy commentedon Sep 29, 2025
this problem can only replicate on ios 26 simulator。 it is running normally on a real iphone running ios 26
tirth-patel-nc commentedon Sep 29, 2025
@qiezihwy Could you please confirm which version of Xcode you're using? Please check this comment, your case appears to be similar to #175320.

jmagman commentedon Sep 30, 2025
@qiezihwy which plugins are you using? Can you include your pubspec.yaml and your ios/Podfile.lock? I suspect you're using a plugin that doesn't support the ARM simulator (see #93177 (comment)), which is now required on iOS 26.
If so the tool can remove that fallback to x64 simulators on Xcode 26 and make the error message more actionable.
qiezihwy commentedon Sep 30, 2025
my project contains a plugin developed by myself those are 2 pubsec.yaml
first
second (common)
qiezihwy commentedon Sep 30, 2025
upgrade all my dependencies not working either

trunghieuvn commentedon Oct 14, 2025
work for me: The solution for me was to force Xcode to download a "Universal" version of the iOS 26 simulator rather than the default "Apple Silicon". Here are the steps: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79773248/rosetta-simulator-run-destination-not-showing-in-xcode-26

I have created a new demo with all my depends which is also contained in my original project.
here is the pubspec.yaml
btw, I noticed that the config EXCLUDED_ARCHS is different
I have tried to set this config to
EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]=i386in my original project. but is not working either .okorohelijah commentedon Oct 16, 2025
@qiezihwy After you removed
arm64from theEXCLUDED_ARCHS, what is the new error you see ? Also does any of your plugins haveVALID_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]' => 'x86_64' }which i think might also exclude arm64harishagawane commentedon Oct 18, 2025

@okorohelijah I found two plugins ( health and sign_in_with_apple ) , have
