By "daemon" I assume you mean the CocoaPods daemon.

It's a subsystem that enables users to run CocoaPods on their Windows system more reliably (i.e. without the NTFS pathname limitations) to manage the dependencies of their Xcode projects before building them.

You don't need it if you know how to inject those dependencies by hand during the build. Not using it (and using precompiled libraries and frameworks instead) also has the benefit of speeding up the build.

I had a look at your project. The iOS part is written in the Swift language. Currently this toolchain can't build Swift code easily. I don't advise you to spend anything on it (neither time nor money) unless you're knowledgeable enough and know what you are doing.

This looks like the simplest form of Flutter project. Can you show me a more complex one, so that I identify the common parts ?
