ios – Development or operating Flutter app will get caught at executing xattr

I’m trying to build a Flutter app I’m working on for quite a while. Until a couple of days ago I was able to easily build the app as expected. Now I’m having the issue though that on running flutter build ios --verbose or flutter run --verbose the building process just gets stuck. I think I nailed it down to the execution of xattr.

Basically the build pipeline gets stuck at xattr -r -d com.apple.FinderInfo /Users/path/to/flutter/folder. First I got a bunch of permission errors on different files in my Pods folder that looked like that: xattr: [Errno 13] Permission denied: /Users/path/to/flutter/app/ios/Pods/. After updating the permissions to 776 via chmod these errors are gone, the command still stays in an infinite state though and nothing happens.

I feel like I tried everything: Cleaning flutter folder, upgrading to the latest flutter version, cleaning xcode build folder. Removing pubspec.lock and podfile.lock and Pods folder with reinstalls, install new simulator, of course restarting the computer, nothing helps me here and I’m just stuck on that.

Happy to provide more infos if required, but would really appreciate some help here.
