Flutter Setup on Windows 11 Guide
Raw
flutter-on-windows11.md
  • Follow the https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install/windows/mobile guide, notably:
    • Install Android Studio Windows edition
    • Install Git for Windows from MinGW
    • Install the Flutter SDK manually and add the path variables (VS code method is spotty). Also put it in your user directory and not the C:\ drive directly where permissions will be tricky.
    • Keep running flutter doctor in PowerShell and follow the prompts until it's happy to build Android apps (you'll likely need to install command line tools from the Android SDK manager, and then run flutter doctor --android-licenses)
  • Add your SSH key to Windows via the Git Bash, like you would on Linux
  • Clone your project down to Windows, and open the Android folder in Android studio
  • Update the android/local.properties file with the flutter.sdk path
  • Run a Gradle Sync, address anything else that pops up, and accept its offer to use the guided 'AGP Upgrade Assistant' to upgrade gradle and make everything happy
  • From the root of the project, run flutter pub get to make sure your dependencies
  • Run the app on a physical or virtual emulator and pray it works well, Googling anything else that pops up
