Flutter Setup & Notes

1. Download SDK

Download Flutter SDK, extract the "Flutter" folder and put it in your user's home directory ( MacintoshHD/Users/mrkittens)

https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install

2. Add path

Add path for 'location/flutter/bin'

For zsh shell:

$ open ~/.zshrc

Then add the following, save and restart shell.

export PATH=$HOME/flutter/bin:$PATH

3. Check dependencies

$ flutter doctor

4. Install CocoaPods

Install CocoaPods by running the following command:

$ sudo gem install cocoapods

4. Install Xcode (Mac)

Don't install Xcode from the App Store. Install it from:

https://developer.apple.com/downloads

Do this for three reasons:

It will allow you to have multiple versions of Xcode on your machine
If you have multiple Macs, you can transfer the file quickly between them
The App Store version will auto-update if you have automatic updates turned on and that can break your builds

(source)

Ensure Xcode app is in the /Applications directory ( NOT /Users/{user}/Applications ).

5. Configure Xcode command line tools (Mac)

$ sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
$ sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch
$ sudo xcodebuild -license

6. Test iOS Simulator (Mac)

open -a Simulator

7. Install Android Studio

https://developer.android.com/studio

8. Install Android Studio Flutter plugin

macOS In Android Studio go to:

Preferences > Plugins then search flutter and click install
Click Yes when prompted to install the Dart plugin.

9. Create virtual device from AVD manager

10. Install VSCode Flutter extension

11. Create flutter app

flutter create my_app

12. Run Debugger in VSCode

You should now be setup to start edit
