Apple Silicon arm64 Simulator Build Failure (iOS 26+)

[enescerrahoglu]

Describe your issue. If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

When building the project using flutter build ipa or running on an Apple Silicon simulator, the build fails due to missing arm64 support in MLKit-related dependencies.

The following targets do not support arm64 architecture, which is required for iOS 26+ simulators on Apple Silicon:

GoogleMLKit
MLImage
MLKitBarcodeScanning
MLKitCommon
MLKitVision

Steps to reproduce.

Create a Flutter project

Add:
google_mlkit_barcode_scanning: latest

Run:
flutter build ipa --release
or run on iOS Simulator (Apple Silicon)

What is the expected result?

Archiving com.example.ios...
Automatically signing iOS for device deployment using specified development team in Xcode project: EXAMPLE
The following target(s) do not support arm64 architecture, which is a requirement for Apple Silicon iOS 26+ simulators:

• GoogleMLKit (transitive dependency of Flutter plugin google_mlkit_barcode_scanning)
• MLImage (transitive dependency of Flutter plugin google_mlkit_commons)
• MLKitBarcodeScanning (transitive dependency of Flutter plugin google_mlkit_barcode_scanning)
• MLKitCommon (transitive dependency of Flutter plugin google_mlkit_barcode_scanning)
• MLKitVision (transitive dependency of Flutter plugin google_mlkit_commons)

Please contact plugin maintainers to request arm64 support to continue to be able to use the plugin on a simulator.
