iOS 18.4 beta breaks Flutter's debug mode on physical devices. Until we hotfix this issue, users should not upgrade to iOS 18.4 beta. Users that have upgraded their device to iOS 18.4 beta should run their apps in release or profile modes, or, target an iOS simulator instead.

This PR will be reverted once the issue is hotfixed.

Part of flutter/flutter#163984

:::warning
Flutter's debug mode is broken on physical devices running iOS 18.4 beta.
See [flutter#163984][] for details.

Flutter recommends you do not upgrade your devices to iOS 18.4 beta.

To target iOS 18.4 beta physical devices, use
[Flutter's release or profile build modes][].

Alternatively, target an iOS simulator or iOS 18.3 or lower physical device.

WDYT of:

An upcoming change to iOS has caused a temporary break in Flutter's ability to debug code on physical devices running iOS 18.4 (currently in beta). See [flutter#163984][] for details.

In the meantime, we recommend these workarounds:

  • When developing with a physical device, use one running iOS 18.3 or earlier.
  • Use a simulator for development rather than a physical device.
  • If you must use a device updated to iOS 18.4, use [Flutter's release or profile build modes][] to do so.
