Flutter Desktop MacOS Plugin, how to see compiler errors

[Dale King]

Trying to build a plugin for MacOS based on the example_plugin. I am not a swift developer so making lots of errors, but the problem is that when I try to run the app I get messages that the compiler failed:

** BUILD FAILED **

The following build commands failed:

CompileSwift normal x86_64 /Users/dking5/Downloads/flutter-desktop-embedding/example/plugins/example_plugin/macos/Classes/ExamplePlugin.swift

CompileSwiftSources normal x86_64 com.apple.xcode.tools.swift.compiler

(2 failures)

Finished with error: Build process failed

But I cannot seem to find any way to see what the actual compiler errors were. I tried opening the Pods.xcodeproj in xcode but it has no ability to build. I can open the Runner.xcodeproj but if there are compiler errors it just tells me that the plugin doesn't exist.

I could make better progress if I could see that actual compiler error messages.

And to be clear: the fact that you don't get any useful error messages without verbose mode is a bug (and it's true of any build error on macOS, not just plugins); it's tracked as https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/33582

Thanks, that helped. Would still be nice to be able to edit and build in an IDE even one that sucks as bad as XCode.

You can use an IDE. Editing and building from within Runner.xcworkspace works as with any other Xcode workspace as long as you've `flutter run` or `flutter build` at least once.
