[Flutter] Build macos desktop app with flutter

First of all:

Should switch flutter branch to master  to enable app run on macOS .

Create project:

Normal project (consists of mobile platforms, android and iOS )

Type in terminal 

 

flutter create prjname

 

Add platforms to current project

android/ios project -> add desktop app

The official detailed guidance.

In brief , the project root folder, type 'flutter create --macos .' which would create a folder for macOS. 

Note that, running on macOS needs more efforts --

• enable macOS in terminal:

export ENABLE_FLUTTER_DESKTOP=true

• set target platform to macOS , otherwise would encounter the unknown platform error:

in main.dart:

import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart'
    show debugDefaultTargetPlatformOverride;
[...]

void main() {
  debugDefaultTargetPlatformOverride = TargetPlatform.fuchsia;
  [...]
}

 

desktop -> add mobile platform(to be verified)

similar with mobile to desktop, 'flutter create --ios .' would do the trick

 

add the web

make sure to switch to branch master, (for now, Flutter 1.10.15-pre.95)

same like add macos, type in terminal 

 

flutter create --web .

 

enable the web 

 

flutter config --enable-web

 

and cd into project folder and run it

 

flutter run -d chrome
