Flutter is an open source UI toolkit from Google for building applications from a single codebase. Developers working on a Mac use it to create apps for iOS, Android, the web and desktop, all written in the Dart language. Your Mac is also where iPhone and iPad builds happen, since Apple platforms require macOS and Xcode for compiling and signing. Widgets cover layout, navigation and animation, so a small team can ship a polished product on several platforms at once.

Key Features

• One codebase that builds apps for mobile, web and desktop targets
• Hot reload that shows code changes in the running app almost at once
• Large widget library for Material and Cupertino style interfaces
• Impeller rendering engine, now the default on desktop in the 3.47 line
• Strong tooling with the Flutter command line tools and editor plugins

How to Download

1. Open the Flutter website and follow the install guide for macOS.
2. Download from the official site and unpack the SDK archive on your Mac.
3. Add Flutter to your path, then run flutter doctor to check your setup.

System Requirements

Flutter development on Mac needs a current macOS version. The Flutter 3.47 release notes state that apps built with it need macOS 12 or later, and building for iOS or macOS also requires Xcode.
