Flutter Mac App Free

Posted By admin  On 22.05.21

Whenever we develop apps on Flutter on a windows machine, we always wonder, 'How will this app look like if we ran it on an iPhone?'. As most of us know that to develop apps for iOS, we need a Mac and some cross-platform mobile app developers like me cannot afford a Mac. So what can we do in such situations? Well, I have a solution for you. This article will help you to run Flutter apps for iOS without a Mac!!!

Yes! Indeed I am. Just follow these steps.

Step 1: First of all visit Flutlab.io and you will see an interface similar to this

Step 2: Create your account on Flutlab.io and then log in using your account so that you can upload your projects.

Codemagic is the first Flutter focused CI/CD tool created by Nevercode. It can easily recognize your Flutter app and integrates with all your favorite tools to automate your whole build, test, release pipeline. Codemagic is also quite affordable at 500 free mac mini build minutes a month and a pay-as-you-go plan for extra minutes. Flutter is an SDK that you download and unpack onto a directory in your Mac. There is no automatic uninstall process in the same way that there is no automatic install process. You 'installed' it by downloading a zip file and unzipping it. All you have to do is remove the contents of the directory where you unzipped it in. Link for registering for the free App Brewery course. Docs; Get started. Set up an editor.

Step 3: Go to your profile and click on the Upload Zip button on the navigation bar to upload your project. Make sure to give your project a suitable name. (*Note: Make sure to compress your project folder to a zip format, to upload the file)

Step 4: After uploading, select your project and you will be presented with the text editor where you can do some final changes, which is optional.

Step 5: Now, Click on the preferences option as shown in the image below and select the build target architecture as ios-debug from the drop-down menu and close the preferences tab.

Step 6: After selecting the target build architecture, it's time to build the project. Click on the Build project button and just wait for the project to build. Till then you can have a cup of coffee!

Step 7: Yay!!! Now our build is ready to run! After the build is completed, you will see the Download iOS simulator bundle option. Click on the link and it will download the bundle.

We're almost there!!! We now need a simulator for running this build. Now how can we run a simulator without a Mac?

Don't worry, I got you covered.

Step 8: Now for a free iPhone simulator, visit Appetize.io. Appetize.io helps the user to run native apps on your browser.

Step 9: Now all we have to do is upload our build, which is a child's play. Just click on the Upload button to upload your build.

Step 10: On the new page, click on the select file button and upload your build file which will again take some time. Then, submit your email address below as the website will send you a link to the simulator to run.
