Please, if I setup flutter desktop on my Mac, can I develop a desktop application for windows?… (using mac for developing a windows desktop app)
Thank you .
I tried developing flutter desktop app with my Mac for macos .
You can write the code on any OS. However in order to compile your code you will have to do it on Windows OS.
See the documentation:
Note: To compile a desktop application, you must build it on the targeted platform: build a Windows application on Windows, a macOS application on macOS, and a Linux application on Linux.

I've enabled the support for windows-desktop on flutter... but is there any way to compile and run the windows flutter app on macOS?
As of now! Unfortunately, "build windows" is only supported on Windows hosts.
However, you can have have virtual tools to help you build on Mac for example
Apple Boot Camp
The Boot Camp Assistant app is pre-installed on every recent Mac, and launching it will walk you through the process of installing Windows 10.
Parallels Desktop
Using Parallels Desktop 11, you can run Windows apps side-by-side with existing Mac applications, including Visual Studio and Cortana.
VMWare Fusion
Fusion 8 from VMWare will let you run Visual Studio right on your Mac desktop.
Oracle VirtualBox
VirtualBox is a free application for running virtual machines on your computer, and it supports running Windows on Mac.
Once you have these tools, you can install windows and start developing on Windows but virtually through Mac host.
If I connect a physical iPhone to my Windows computer via usb, is it possible to run a Flutter app on it in VSCode?
It is not possible, you need to install XCode and XCode Command Tools in order to build for iOS. For those you need to use MacOS.
I am starting mobile app development in ionic framework.I have installed angular cli and ionic in my setup
. So I want to know should we also have mac os for ios app and android studio for android app to develop app in ionic for both platform.
To build and publish apps for iOS you need Mac OS and xcode, there exist online Mac OS providers like this also.
To develop iOS native application MacOS is a must. Android apps can be developed on Windows or on MacOS devices.
If you have any restrictions on exposing the API services to the cloud, you will not be able to use the Cloud based MacOS (unless there is a secured tunneling from the cloud to your device network)
MacOS do not run on any VirtualBox.
This is my very first flutter project. I do not have Mac pc/desktop . Sources from web instructs to approach rental methods. I cannot afford those techniques. I have to add IOS app using android studio or Vs Code. Help me out please
It's not possible add iOS to flutter without install xcode in your machine, so you need run project with mac OS
But for learning purpose you can install mac os on VMware and develop on it, but for publish app on itune store you need export binary from physical mac computer.
Android studio 4.0
Linux Mint 19.3
I create my simple Flutter project and success run it on my Android device.
Nice.
But now I need to run my Flutter project on iPhone. So... to do this I need... what I need?
Maybe install iOS on Virtual Box (on my Linux machine) and then install XCode and then run my Flutter project on XCode? Or maybe has another approach?
You can do that with CI/CD services like Codemagic
