Code Usage

• Modify your main.dart add target platform to Fuchsia

  import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart'
  
  show debugDefaultTargetPlatformOverride; // for desktop embedder
  
  void main() {
    debugDefaultTargetPlatformOverride = TargetPlatform.fuchsia; // for desktop embedder
    runApp(MyApp());
  }

• Build flutter bundle inside your project flutter build bundle - This is Important Step in the process

• Run Flutter.app or ./flutter_desktop or flutter_desktop.exe

• *This will give a port insert it below config file.

• Open VS Code Cmd Pannel and search for Debug: open launch.json

• In VS Code create Launch Configuration:

  {
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
      {
        "name": "Flutter Desktop",
        "request": "attach",
