google_mlkit_barcode_scanning: transitive pods lack arm64 for iOS 26+ simulators (Xcode 26)

[samumzizi]

Environment

• google_mlkit_barcode_scanning: 0.14.2
• google_mlkit_commons: 0.11.1
• Xcode: 26.3 (Build 17C529)
• iOS SDK: 26.2
• Flutter: 3.41.4
• Platform: macOS (Apple Silicon)

Problem

When building with Xcode 26 for iOS 26+ simulators, the following transitive pods fail the arm64 architecture requirement:

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)

These are the upstream Google MLKit pods that this plugin depends on. The pods were built without arm64 simulator slices for iOS 26.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install Xcode 26
2. Create a Flutter project with google_mlkit_barcode_scanning: ^0.14.2
3. Run flutter run targeting an iOS 26 simulator on Apple Silicon

Expected behavior

Build and run succeeds on iOS 26 simulators.

Notes

This is ultimately a Google MLKit pod issue. Once Google publishes updated pods with iOS 26 simulator support, bumping the pod version constraints in the podspec should resolve it.

Workaround

Build on Xcode 16.x, or target physical devices only.
