Steps to Reproduce

See steps in #98151 .

Here are my steps:

$ flutter build ios -t lib/main_staging.dart --flavor=staging --release
...

$ flutter install --device-id=nnn
The Xcode project defines schemes: local, prod, staging
You must specify a --flavor option to select one of the available schemes.

$ flutter install --device-id=nnn --flavor=staging
Could not find an option named "flavor".
Run 'flutter -h' (or 'flutter <command> -h') for available flutter commands and options.

    I tried running flutter build ios -t lib/main_staging.dart --flavor=staging --release and then immediately installing manually with XCode. This installed the app with a Flutter DEBUG build. It did use the proper Xcode profile.

    To work around Flutter's broken tooling:

    1. flutter build ios -t lib/main_staging.dart --flavor=staging --release
    2. Connect your device and unlock it. This assumes you have already set up your device to work with flutte run.
    3. Launch XCode.
    4. Select the menu option Window > Devices and Simulators
    5. Select your device from the list on the left.
    6. Under Installed Apps, click the + button and select the app file created by flutter build:
      • build/ios/iphoneos/Runner
      • Note that this is actually the directory Runner.app/ but the selection dialog displays it as Runner.

    Thanks for the report. Tried the same scenario using flavors_example app in which getting same error as reported:

This app is using a deprecated version of the Android embedding.
To avoid unexpected runtime failures, or future build failures, try to migrate this app to the V2 embedding.

You must specify a --flavor option to select one of the available schemes.

    This is definitely confusing. flutter install is trying to figure out where the prebuilt binary is, and to do that it tries to get the FULL_PRODUCT_NAME from your Xcode build settings. But to do that it needs to know the right configuration (flavor) to use.
    Also flutter install should add --use-application-binary like drive and run so it doesn't need to rebuild the app.

    While it doesn't fix the issue of the warning instructing to use a non-existent --flavor flag, #101324 will at least make installing a flavored IPA possible

    note to self: I think the right fix here would be to implement --flavor for flutter install.
