Flutter error building for iOS "ld: framework not found"

Question

I've been working for a few weeks on a Flutter app which I run on Android and iOS. It worked well until some days ago I upgraded the flutter version and some package dependencies, and it suddenly stopped building for iOS. There have been multiple issues I have managed to solve, but I can figure out this one. Now, each time I try to build the iOS app I get:

    ld: framework not found package_info_plus
    clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I've tried cleaning the project with flutter clean and building again after performing a pub get, but it doesn't solve the issue. I don't depend directly on package_info_plus, but there is one of my packages which does. I've also tried adding package_info_plus to my pub spec, but then I get the same error again with the package path_provider, which I'm already using.

I have search and try every solution, but nothing works. Could somebody help me?

In case it helps, here you have my pubspec.yaml:
