Select the device to emulate – for example a Google Pixel 2. Load Android Studio and within an Android project, click Tools > Android > AVD Manager. You should then see an iOS simulator available when you restart VS Code.Īndroid is more complex. If you have no simulators, run the following in the terminal to open the iOS simulator for the first time: open -a simulator If you've developed for mobile before, when you click this, you'll see your simulators available in the Command Palette. In the bottom right-hand corner of VS Code (in the blue bar), you'll see something saying No Devices. To test our project, we'll want a device simulator to allow us on the desktop.

Xcode can require some extra steps at the shell to get it fully set up: sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/DeveloperĪnd Android Studio often needs the licence agreement accepting: flutter doctor -android-licenses 03. Don't worry about connected devices for now. Once the tool is happy with Flutter, Android Toolchain, iOS Toolchain and Android Studio, you are good to go. You might have to run the doctor a couple of times to gain additional feedback and act on it. Take note of what the doctor tells you and respond to any issues that arise. Once that's done, Flutter offers a handy diagnostic tool, which will check whether everything that you need is installed and set up correctly.

The first thing to do is make sure you have the latest version: flutter upgrade 02. Run a shell command to refresh the bash profile: source $HOME/.bash_profile Now add the flutter/bin directory to your $PATH: export PATH=/Users/simon/dev/flutter/bin:$PATH Open (or create) $HOME/.bash_profile: sudo atom $HOME/.bash_profile
