Error Message

When setting up Flutter iOS projects, Claude consistently sets (or omits) the minimum iOS deployment target below what modern plugins require. The correct minimum for this project is 15.5, defined in both ios/Podfile (platform :ios, '15.5') and ios/Runner.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj (IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 15.5). Omitting this causes build failures on CI. Claude should always verify and set the iOS deployment target before pushing — not wait for the CI error.

Error Messages/Logs

  1. Start a new Claude Code conversation in a Flutter project that includes google_mlkit_text_recognition or similar modern iOS plugins. 2. Ask Claude to set up iOS builds and push to a GitHub repository. 3. Observe that Claude does not set the minimum iOS deployment target in ios/Podfile or ios/Runner.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj. 4. Run a CI build (e.g. Codemagic) and get the error: "requires a higher minimum iOS deployment version — increase deployment target to at least 15.5". 5. Correct Claude in the conversation. 6. Start a new conversation and repeat steps 1-4. The same omission occurs again.

What's Wrong?

When setting up Flutter iOS projects, Claude consistently sets (or omits) the minimum iOS deployment target below what modern plugins require. The correct minimum for this project is 15.5, defined in both ios/Podfile (platform :ios, '15.5') and ios/Runner.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj (IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 15.5). Omitting this causes build failures on CI. Claude should always verify and set the iOS deployment target before pushing — not wait for the CI error.

What Should Happen?

When setting up or modifying a Flutter iOS project, Claude should always verify and explicitly set the minimum iOS deployment target to the correct value (at least 15.5 for projects using modern plugins) in both ios/Podfile and ios/Runner.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj before pushing to any repository, without waiting for a CI build failure to detect the omission.

Run a CI build (e.g. Codemagic) and get the error: "requires a higher minimum iOS deployment version — increase deployment target to at least 15.5". 5. Correct Claude in the conversation. 6. Start a new conversation and repeat steps 1-4. The same omission occurs again.
