I'm going to use Flutter for the first time and dive into the world of mobile development 📱.
(As usual) I had some issues installing Flutter on my MacBook 🙄. So I reset my MacBook, which was long overdue, and set up the technical environment from scratch, using the package manager from the beginning.
And I'm glad I did. Finally the installations are running smooth as butter 🧈.
Environment
| Device | Chip | Operation System | CommandLine Tool |
|---|---|---|---|
| MacBook Air | Apple M1 | macOS Sonoma 14.1.2 | HomeBrew |
Installation process
After installing Flutter, by running the command
brew install --cask flutter,
everything worked smoothly. I then run
flutter doctor,
which provided instruction on how to move further.
Here are the commands I ran:
-
sudo softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license -
brew install --cask android-studio -
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer -
sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch -
brew install cocoapods -
xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -
path/to/sdkmanager --install "cmdline-tools;latest" -
flutter doctor --android-licenses -
flutter config --android-sdk
Now, when running flutter doctor again, everything is setup.

Thanks for your reading and time. I really appreciate it.
