Fixed a similar issue by upgrading idb-companion from 1.0.14 -> 1.1.6.

This can be done by running

brew update && brew upgrade idb-companion

Found the underlying issue from the console in Flipper, (option + command + i to open console), where the command ~/Library/Python/3.8/bin/idb list-targets --json resulted in an error.

After upgrading idb-companion, the list-targets command succeeds.

@kbirgoren You should specify an exact version of Flipper in your Podfile, e.g. use_flipper!({ 'Flipper'=> '0.135.0' }) if you're using the most current recent version right now.
