But unable create a new sample project in Xcode. I can't find proper way to start a new project using Xcode.

Here are steps to start a new sample project but not for Xcode: Get Started: Test Drive

How to create a new Flutter project in Xcode?

I'm using Xcode 9.3 - beta 3

Answer 1

There's no need to use XCode

You can just do a flutter create my_project_name in the terminal

Answer 2

I think a better way is to create Flutter project by command line with iOS support:

In the terminal in a desired directory run command

flutter create -i swift -a kotlin your_gibrid_project_name

This util will create a project that you can run on iOS and on Android as well!

After you can develop it in IDE that suits for you

Full command for production can look like

flutter create --org com.yourcompany -i swift -a kotlin --description 'Your App Description' your_app_name

Params

--org com.yourcompany

will form applicationId for Android:

com.yourcompany.yourappname

and iOS PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER:

com.yourcompany.yourAppName

parameter

--description 'Your App Description' 

sets package description in our pubspec.yaml

To find all possible options run in the terminal command

flutter create --help

Answer 3

Yet, there is no way to create a project using Xcode Editor.

As of now, you must have to create a project using 'Terminal' app.

Here I created a sample test_project using following terminal command

flutter create test_project

And here is my Xcode Project ready with workspace.
