/Users/shaifdihan/StudioProjects/my_match_flutter/ios/Pods/Pods.xcodeproj: warning: The iOS Simulator deployment target 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET' is set to 8.0, but the range of supported deployment target versions is 9.0 to 14.5.99. (in target 'libPhoneNumber-iOS' from project 'Pods')
    .

did eyery possible solution that i could find on the internet to solve the issue

• pod deintegrate, install, update, repo update
• delete iOS folder, flutter create ., copy Runner folder
• flutter clean, flutter pub cache repair
• project built with 2.5.3, checked with 2.10.3 also

if i remove the webview_flutter plugin, sharedpreferences starts to show the same Flutter.h not found...then removed the sharedpreferences package, now Permission Handler package shows the same error!!

My Podfile

platform :ios, '11.0'
    
    # CocoaPods analytics sends network stats synchronously affecting flutter build latency.
    ENV['COCOAPODS_DISABLE_STATS'] = 'true'

      'Debug' => :debug,
      'Profile' => :release,
      'Release' => :release,
    }
    
    def flutter_root
      generated_xcode_build_settings_path = File.expand_path(File.join('..', 'Flutter', 'Generated.xcconfig'), __FILE__)
      unless File.exist?(generated_xcode_build_settings_path)
        raise "#{generated_xcode_build_settings_path} must exist. If you're running pod install manually, make sure flutter pub get is executed first"
      end
    
      File.foreach(generated_xcode_build_settings_path) do |line|
        matches = line.match(/FLUTTER_ROOT\=(.*)/)
        return matches[1].strip if matches
      end
      raise "FLUTTER_ROOT not found in #{generated_xcode_build_settings_path}. Try deleting Generated.xcconfig, then run flutter pub get"
    end
    
    require File.expand_path(File.join('packages', 'flutter_tools', 'bin', 'podhelper'), flutter_root)
    
    flutter_ios_podfile_setup
    
    target 'Runner' do
      use_frameworks!
      use_modular_headers!
    
      flutter_install_all_ios_pods File.dirname(File.realpath(__FILE__))
    end
    
    # post_install do |installer|
    #   installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    #     flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
    #   end
    # end
    post_install do |installer|

          config.build_settings['EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]'] = "arm64 i386"
        end
      end
    end
