Where is the info.plist file in Flutter?

When developing a mobile app for iOS devices, you are very likely to need to open the info.plist file to add or edit something.

In a Flutter project, the info.plist file locates at this path:

<project directory>/ios/Runner/Info.plist

If you can’t find the ios folder or the Runner folder or have some trouble with them, just regenerate one by running the following command in your project root directory:

flutter create -i swift .

The info.plist file of an app is used to provide the app’s metadata to the system. The syntax in the info.plist file is similar to XML. When building iOS apps with Flutter, most of the time when you need to edit the info.plist file is when you’re using a third-party package and need special permissions (such as camera access, permission to send notifications, etc.). You can see the great detail about this file in the Apple Developer documentation.
