Install XCode

Many options to download Xcode you can use the following

Recommended Using : Xcodes

# Install xcodes
brew install xcodesorg/made/xcodes

# list available xcode versions
xcodes list

# Update available xcode versions
xcodes update

# Install Aria2 "For Fast download"
brew install aria2

# Install XCode (ex. Xcode 13 Beta 5)
xcodes install 14.3

Before running xcodes, export this environment variables :

export XCODES_USERNAME="<your_email>"
export XCODES_PASSWORD="<your_pass>"

Others :

Install Runtimes :

Using again Xcodes tool from above

List Runtimes

xcodes runtimes --include-betas

Install iOS Runtime

xcodes runtimes install "iOS 17.0-beta1"

Install iOS Simulator :

Install xcode-install

sudo gem install xcode-install

Display all simulators By name

xcversion simulators

Install a Simulator

xcversion simulators --install="iOS 14.4 Simulator"

Display all availables devices and simulators ByIds

xcrun simctl list

Output Example :

D9C60396-FC76-4693-AEE2-84AA7C8EB200 (active, disconnected)
    Watch: Apple Watch Series 6 - 44mm (FE1A98F8-C2F2-446D-B436-B484B1D87837) (Shutdown)
    Phone: iPhone 12 Pro Max (7395B23C-9AAE-4CEB-8FCC-82A70FCE0553) (Shutdown)

Open Simualtor/Device ById

I advice to add this alias to your config :

alias sim="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Applications/Simulator.app/Contents/MacOS/Simulator -CurrentDeviceUDID"

Then just run :

sim D9C60396-FC76-4693-AEE2-84AA7C8EB200

(ex. From above the DeviceUDID is : D9C60396-FC76-4693-AEE2-84AA7C8EB200)

To Open latest iOS Simulator

open -a Simulator

Install Fastlane

gem install fastlane -NV

then run :

bundle update
bundle install
bundle exec fastlane ...

Sometimes a write issue appear using bundle install/update to fix it do this :

sudo chown -R $(whoami) /Users/$(whoami)/.gem

Part 3 : Install Android

Install Java JDK :

Using Jabba "Java Version Manager" (Recommanded)

# Install Jabba 
echo $'\nexport JABBA_VERSION="0.11.2"\n' >> /Users/$(whoami)/.zshrc
curl -sL https://github.com/shyiko/jabba/raw/master/install.sh | bash && . ~/.jabba/jabba.sh

# Verify this line is in .zshrc (Should be added automatically)
[ -s "/Users/$(whoami)/.jabba/jabba.sh" ] && source "/Users/$(whoami)/.jabba/jabba.sh"

# List available java versions
jabba ls-remote

# Install JDK 16
jabba install [email protected]

# Verify java version
java -version

## The result should be : 
# openjdk 17.0.1 ...

# Don't forget to export JAVA_HOME
echo $"\nexport JAVA_HOME=/Users/$(whoami)/.jabba/jdk/[email protected]/Contents/Home\n" >> /Users/$(whoami)/.zshrc
echo $"\nexport PATH=$JAVA_HOME:$PATH\n" >> /Users/$(whoami)/.zshrc

Install Gradle

brew install gradle
## Reinstall Gradle to Latest Version
echo $"\nexport GRADLE_VERSION=$(echo $(arr=($(gradle --version | awk '{ print $2 }')) && echo ${arr[1]}))\n" >> /Users/$(whoami)/.zshrc
echo $"\nexport GRADLE_HOME=`brew --prefix`/Cellar/gradle/$GRADLE_VERSION\n" >> /Users/$(whoami)/.zshrc
echo $"\nexport PATH=$GRADLE_HOME/bin:$PATH\n" >> /Users/$(whoami)/.zshrc

Install Android Tools

Install Command-line tools for building and debugging Android apps (sdkmanager, avdmanager, etc.)

# Command-line tools for building and debugging Android apps
brew install --cask android-commandlinetools

# Export Android HOME (for tools)

echo $"\nexport PATH=$ANDROID_HOME:$PATH\n" >> /Users/$(whoami)/.zshrc

Install SDKManager :

Do this :

# Export SDK MANAGER
echo $"\nexport SDK_MANAGER=$ANDROID_HOME/cmdline-tools/latest/bin/sdkmanager\n" >> /Users/$(whoami)/.zshrc
echo $"\nexport PATH=$SDK_MANAGER:$PATH\n" >> /Users/$(whoami)/.zshrc

If you ever have an issue regarding unaccepted licence do this :

# Accept all licenses
yes | sdkmanager --licenses

Usefull CLI :

# list available repos (Stable chanel)
sdkmanager --list --channel=0

# Install Android SDK Command-line Tools Latest
sdkmanager "cmdline-tools;latest"

# Install Android SDK Platform 34
sdkmanager "platforms;android-34"

echo $"\nexport EMULATOR=$ANDROID_HOME/emulator\n" >> /Users/$(whoami)/.zshrc
echo $"\nexport PATH=$EMULATOR:$PATH\n" >> /Users/$(whoami)/.zshrc

# List existing avds (already created)
avdmanager list avds

# Install an EMULATOR system image
sdkmanager "system-images;android-33;google_apis_playstore;arm64-v8a"

# Create an AVD (ex. SDK 33 for // Architecture: arm64-v8a (Apple Silicom Mac) or x86_64 (Intel) )
avdmanager create avd -f --name "PIXEL_8" -k "system-images;android-33;google_apis_playstore;arm64-v8a"

# list available Emulator
$EMULATOR/emulator -list-avds

# Run an emulator (ex. NAME_OF_EMU: Pixel_8)
$EMULATOR/emulator -avd NAME_OF_EMU

Install Android SDK component (ADB, fastboot, etc.)**

## This command download the latest android-platform-tools and copy them into `brew --prefix`/bin and do the linking as well
brew install android-platform-tools

## Dart & Dart SDK will be inside : bin/ & bin/cache
brew install --cask flutter

## Migrate to null safety (Only inside a project)
# dart migrate --apply-changes

## Check That everythong is OK
flutter doctor -v

Add theses lines to .zshrc

FLUTTER_VERSION=$(echo $(arr=($(flutter --version | awk '{ print $2 }')) && echo ${arr[1]}))
export FLUTTER_SDK=`brew --prefix`/Caskroom/flutter/$FLUTTER_VERSION/flutter
export PATH=$PATH:$FLUTTER_SDK

## Flutter cache

export PATH=$PATH:$DART_PATH

## Export DART SDK Path
export DART_SDK=$FLUTTER_SDK/bin/cache/dart-sdk

Link "Android SDK, Flutter SDK, Dart SDK, JDK" to Android Studio

In case export environment variable doesn't work properly with Android Studio, follow theses steps.

Link Android SDK :

Option 1 : In case the following command didn't work, follow the bellow steps.

flutter config --android-sdk $ANDROID_HOME

Options 2 :

create a symbolic link to Android SDK :

ln -s $ANDROID_HOME

call the link you created from (Preference -> Appearance & Behaviour -> System Settings -> Android SDK)

Link Dart SDK :

create a symbolic link to Dart SDK :

ln -s $DART_SDK

call the link you created from (Preference -> Languages & Frameworks -> Dart)

Link Flutter SDK :

create a symbolic link to Flutter SDK :

ln -s $FLUTTER_SDK

call the link you created from (Preference -> Languages & Frameworks -> Flutter)

Link Java JDK :

Make sure that exported JAVA_HOME was not read in Android Studio Correctly. Go to (Right Click on your project -> Platform Settings -> SDKs).

If not :

create a symbolic link to Java JDK :

ln -s $JAVA_HOME

call the link you created

Result :

If everything was all good you should get something like this :
