I am facing issues with installation. I get the following when I run flutter doctor

      Or install Xcode via the App Store.
      Once installed, run:

        CocoaPods is used to retrieve the iOS platform side's plugin code that responds to your plugin usage on the Dart side.
        Without resolving iOS dependencies with CocoaPods, plugins will not work on iOS.

        brew install cocoapods
        pod setup

The plugins are not installed by default with Android Studio or IntelliJ. You need to install them yourself using the instructions from this page:

Install the Flutter and Dart plugins

Flutter is supported by two plugins:

  • The Flutter plugin powers Flutter developer workflows (running, debugging, hot reload, etc.).
  • The Dart plugin offers code analysis (code validation as you type, code completions, etc.).

To install these:

  • Start Android Studio.
  • Open plugin preferences (Preferences>Plugins on macOS, File>Settings>Plugins on Windows & Linux).
  • Select Browse repositories…, select the Flutter plug-in and click install.
  • Click Yes when prompted to install the Dart plugin.
  • Click Restart when prompted.
