Technical requirements
Flutter runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, so you don’t really need to worry about the operating system. Make sure to have your Flutter version updated to the latest version in the stable channel and create a new project using—preferably—Android Studio or VS Code. If you’re brave enough, there is also the possibility of coding on a simple text editor and then manually building and running projects, but this is quite inconvenient. To make sure that your Flutter environment is correctly set up, you can run the flutter doctor command in the console and check the output.
If you’re looking for a complete Flutter installation guide, make sure to check the official documentation at https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install.
For now, we will ignore the test folder, but I promise we will come back to it in Chapter 9, Writing Tests and Setting Up GitHub Actions, where we will test our app and publish it to GitHub.
To keep...
