  1. Run the Flutter Doctor command once the Flutter is installed. The Flutter Doctor performs the following tasks:

    • Downloads missing files required by the development environment.

    • Ensures we’ve installed the following:

    • Android SDK

    • Apple Xcode (on Mac)

    • Ensures that we’ve agreed to all software development licenses.

    • Checks the Android Studio IDE setup and recommends any changes required to get it working with Flutter.

    • Checks for connected devices.

    • Verifies that Flutter can recognize any connected hardware devices.

    • Recommends any changes required to get them connected and working.

    • Outputs a diagnosis, listing out issues found and recommendations.

  2. If you want to run in local Chrome, make sure web security is disabled to avoid CORS errors.
