Description: A place to collect my thoughts, share my findings, and hope for a glimmer of inspiration.
Rules were meant to be broken and I’m running headlong into this new rabbit hole for no real reason other than the fact that I have the attention span of drunken roadkill. This rabbit hole is called Flutter, which seems aptly named after my brain’s inability to stay on point, but rather to flutter from one thing to the next. Per Flutter’s web page , “ Flutter is Google’s UI toolkit for building beautiful, natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. “ I can’t honestly
Getting started with this requires downloading the zip file from Flutter’s website and unpacking where I want, then setting my PATH to know where it is. As it is literally EVERY TIME I HAVE TO SET MY PATH, I screw it all up… this time was no different. Long story short, I first didn’t close the quotes in my .zshrc file, then I simply didn’t put in the right path to my flutter/bin. An easy fix really, but this stuff always takes me friggin forever.
Once that was squared away, I ran flutter doctor in the Terminal, which let me know that Google will be spying on me if I choose to use this application (fucking bastards). I didn’t see any ability to opt out of this either. After that was complete, I see a few issues. First, I do not have Android SDK installed. Obviously, it would need this for me to deploy Android applications, but for now, I’m going to stick to iOS, until I have an app I want deployed for multiple platforms. Same thing for Android Studio
