Flutter

Installation

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

Installation on MacOS isn't straight forward.

You not only need Android Studio and XCode, but also need to create simulator for them. Start a dummy project with them and make sure a simulator can run.

If you get error about cocoa pods.

You need to run

gem which cocoapods
# find the path to ruby and add its bin to PATH
export PATH=/Users/hacker/.local/share/gem/ruby/3.2.0/bin/:$PATH

If you have problem with android sdk command line tool, Go to Android Studio Android SDK setting, and install the command line tool.

ANDROID_HOME android home can be found in Android Stdudio by searching for Android SDK.

export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/hacker/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$PATH
export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin:$PATH
export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$PATH

Why is it so complicated? The documentation is not clear.
