问题
Today I have started learning Flutter. I am using Android Studio in Mac. I have already
- Configured the Flutter and Dart plugins in Android studio.
- Installed the Flutter SDK.
So I am able to run Flutter app in Android Emulator. However, when I select IOS simulator**(Open iOS Simulator**) . It says this
Unable to find application named 'Simulator.app
I do not have any experience is XCode and I have not installed it in my Mac.
My questions are,
- How do I install the Simulator?
- Do I need the Xcode installed in Mac for running Simulator? (Does Simulator come with Xcode)
- My understanding was that installing the Flutter plugin in Android Studio will import iOS simulator as well. Am I wrong?
I found similar question but did not get the clarity.
回答1:
You can also configure the Xcode command-line tools from Xcode by opening Preferences>Location and selecting it from dropdown.
After selecting Xcode version you can find iOS Simulator name in your Android Studio for flutter project.
回答2:
To install the simulator you have to install Xcode, simulator is not distributed as a standalone app. Once you have installed it follow this guide.
I was thinking that installing Flutter and Dart plugins will link IOS simulator in Android Studio as well.
Yes once installed you can start the iOS simulator from Android Studio and run your flutter app from it but the simulator is only linked, you have to install it yourself.

If iOS device not showing in an android studio then first open up simulator app in mac.
Open simulator app
after simulator is loaded, go to Hardware -> Device -> Manage Device and uncheck the physical device and go to simulator tab and choose the required simulator and check it 'Show as run destination' and reload android studio.
It will start showing in android studio and now you can run your flutter app in both android and iOS.
Manage Device

Basically, it needs to install brew package manager and some other dependencies. I got my problem solve by the following flutter doc page.

After a fresh install of Flutter and xCode, I had to restart my Mac in order to Flutter recognize the iOS Simulator. Probably something with config of older installations.
