Packages are not supported when using legacy build locations, but the current project has them enabled

I had the issue at #57083 The solution from This comment works but when I have a clean clone the problem starts again
Note: I have the changes to the file Runner.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/contents.xcworkspacedata committed to the codebase

Steps to Reproduce

Create a new flutter app
Add a swift package to the ios project
if xcodebuild -list fails use this solution
if you followed step 3 commit the changes of the file Runner.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/contents.xcworkspacedata to your codebase.
push everything and then have a clean clone and try xcodebuild -list

Expected results: The solution worked before and it should work no problem.

Actual results: You still need to change from legacy to xcode-default

Thanks for all the details!

Can you also attach a screenshot of ios/Runner.xcodeproj (not Runner.xcworkspace) > File > Project Settings > Per-User Project Settings: > Advanced. See Xcode 11 Swift Packages incompatible with "flutter build" #44811 (comment) for context.
Attach ios/Runner.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/xcuserdata/USER.xcuserdatad/WorkspaceSettings.xcsetting

@jmagman I've attached them in More docs section in the issue

	<key>BuildLocationStyle</key>

	<key>CustomBuildLocationType</key>
	<string>RelativeToDerivedData</string>

Hm yeah that's the problem. Can you attach your project's .metadata file so I can see what version of Flutter you were on when you generated the project?

@jmagman Where can I find that?

Where can I find that?

It should be a file named .metadata in the root of your Flutter project. If it's missing, do you happen to remember what version of Flutter you were on when you created your project?

@jmagman

@jmagman
The file is messing but most likely it was Flutter 1.22.5 • channel stable
The project was created by a co-worker and they didn't upgrade their flutter since creating it

@ammaratef45

Hi @ammaratef45
Thanks for filing the issue

Changed Advanced from Legacy to Xcode Default and WorkspaceSettings.xcsettings is as follows

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>BuildLocationStyle</key>
	<string>UseAppPreferences</string>
	<key>CustomBuildLocationType</key>
	<string>RelativeToDerivedData</string>
	<key>DerivedDataLocationStyle</key>
	<string>Default</string>
	<key>IssueFilterStyle</key>
	<string>ShowActiveSchemeOnly</string>
	<key>LiveSourceIssuesEnabled</key>
	<true/>
	<key>ShowSharedSchemesAutomaticallyEnabled</key>
	<true/>
</dict>
</plist>

The app builds and runs after the changes

It shouldn't be legacy but code default, in your project it shows legacy, #44811 (comment)

A similar issue was filed #74586

@TahaTesser

@TahaTesser As I mentioned, changing to Xcode default solves it but with a clean clone it is reverted back to legacy and I have to change it again.
That breaks my CI/CD builds as they always depend on a clean clone.

#82576 merged

This is available in 2.3.0-12.0.pre (currently dev channel)

@jmagman

thanks @jmagman 👍
