When I run flutter build IOS gets stuck in the middle of process

Viewed 7193

Whenever I run flutter build IOS, it seems to work fine, however when it gets to the point of "Building Dart Code", it just gets stuck there forever. I was however been able to run flutter build apk successfully before this.

This is the flutter doctor -v output:

I will also post where exactly gets stuck:

-MacBook-Pro:flutterLoginApp-master4OK ..$ flutter build ios

Current beta version(0.11.3) is not working and gets stuck when building the release version on ios. The fix for now is downgrade your flutter version or change to master branch while the beta version is stuck.

You can do this using flutter channel master and then flutter upgrade on your terminal.

I have switched to master channel and run: flutter build ios --release and all started to work fantastically fantastic.
