    Mac OS binary files not updated to Latest flutter version anybody can contribute and make pull request, Pull Request should include flutter doctor -v as above.

  • Extract zip archive

  • Copy Flutter.app (Mac) / flutter_desktop + all files (Linux)/ flutter_desktop.exe + all files (Windows) to your project, I had provided 2 folders so choose release version(without asserts and debug label) or debug version as required

Code Usage

  • Modify your main.dart add target platform to Fuchsia

    import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart'
    
    show debugDefaultTargetPlatformOverride; // for desktop embedder
    
    void main() {
      debugDefaultTargetPlatformOverride = TargetPlatform.fuchsia; // for desktop embedder
      runApp(MyApp());
    }
  • Build flutter bundle inside your project flutter build bundle - This is Important Step in the process

  • Run Flutter.app or ./flutter_desktop or flutter_desktop.exe

  • *This will give a port insert it below config file.

  • Open VS Code Cmd Pannel and search for Debug: open launch.json

  • In VS Code create Launch Configuration:

    {
      "version": "0.2.0",
      "configurations": [
        {
          "name": "Flutter Desktop",
          "request": "attach",
          "deviceId": "flutter-tester",

        }
      ]
    }
