Get started with Flutter in 30 minutes

Flutter is a great Google SDK allowing effortless creation of mobile apps with native interfaces on iOS and Android. To install it follow the official installation instructions. Here are a few additional tips for Mac and Windows:

• If you are using fish, add set PATH /Users/simonj/flutter/bin $PATH to your .config/fish/config.fish
• For android emulation support install Androind Studio and create a new emulated device, lets call it Pixel_2_API_26. To launch the emulator, run ~/Library/Android/sdk/tools/emulator -avd Pixel_2_API_26 on Mac or C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator\emulator.exe -avd Pixel_2_API_26 on Windows.
• Disabling Hyper-V may help if you experience Windows crashes when running Android emulator.
• Some useful commands:
  • flutter doctor # helps to diagnose problems, install missing components, etc.
  • flutter build apk # builds apk
  • flutter install -d # installs apk to a device. to use your actual phone, mount the phone with usb debug enabled
  • flutter devices # to list devices
• To use visual studio code, follow these instructions or just run code . from your flutter terminal/project and install Flutter and Dart plugins.
