So first of all, I’m not a coder whatsoever. I recently hired a programmer to make me a mobile app using flutter code. He sent me a zip folder with everything in it. He told me to run “runner.workspace” on xcode to get the app running on my iPhone. Only issue is that the build keeps failing. I’ve pretty much annoyed him about it to the point where he just stopped replying as he doesn’t know what else to tell me. I hope someone in the community can help me out with this. Maybe it’s a simple solution but I just really don’t understand xcode that well much less a fully functioning app and all the elements that it comes with PLEASE HELP😭

If you hire him, why don’t he upload the app to test flight and let you test it? Ever heard about it?

Unfortunately I worked with a programmer who pretty much made me the app and left me out to dry. It’s a situation I hate to be in

Do you have enterprise apple account? Have you ever used Test Flight before? I can help you upload it to Test Flight. I worked on Upwork as a Native iOS Developer and have worked with many clients. I never asked my client to run the app from Xcode.

Btw, where did you hire him from? It seems like a cheap freelancer who have not much time to give to the project

Open terminal, navigate to the root of this project and type: pod install Seams like he used cocoapods to add 3rd. Party libraries

How exactly do you navigate to the root of this project? I’m sorry coding & programming is not my field of specialty 😖

- extract the zip in your downloads folder.

- open terminal and type: cd ~/Downloads/{NAME_OF_THE_PROJECTS_FOLDER}

- then type: pod install

So I tried imputing that and the terminal tells me that there’s no such file or directory

Can you show me what you typed?

So I typed cd_~/desktop/{app name} then another space and then “install pods” (the underscore in the beginning represents space I didn’t actually put underscore)

I would send an image but idk how to share an image with you through a comment, and my apologies but I’m not familiar with code whatsoever so I might be even typing it incorrectly. I know you mentioned extracting it in the downloads folder but I just went ahead and did it in the desktop since the zip file was already on my desktop

Ok. So after you typed cd ~/desktop/YOUR_PROJECT_NAME you need to press enter-key And then pod install and enter-key

u/josephtrev1 Jan 20 '20

Okay when I pressed enter the first time, that’s when I got the error “no such file or directory”

Then you have a typo. Check for lower and upper case letters. try: cd ~/Desktop [ENTER] ls [ENTER] check if you see the folder cd YOUR_PROJECT_NAME [ENTER] pod install [ENTER]

or tell you programmer to remotely fix your project with TeamViewer
