Using the following system to build flutter apps for ios and android:
- Android Studio Jellyfish | 2023.3.1 Patch
- Macbook Air 2019 1.6 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5
- MacOS Sonoma v14.4.1
- 8 GB Ram
- Flutter v3.22.0 channel stable
Most of my time is wasted on fixing dependencies, IDE, and Xcode problems instead of focusing on the project development itself
Building the IOS app after integrating Firebase is a nightmare, I had to use precompiled SDKs to reduce the build time from forever to some minutes !
The IOS simulator is not working anymore, I tried everything but it just doesn’t work anymore.
I often have to clean and rebuild and even re-install cocoapods from scartch !
Android Studio plugins stop working after a while as well, for example, the auto formatting and reserved keywords highlighting stop working after running the command flutter pub get/update … etc.
Does anybody have any advice or maybe an alternative system ?
I think I’ll go to a therapist after I finish this project XD
Thanks
Things I’ve tried already:
- Flutter Clean and rebuild
- Re-install flutter from scratch
- Pods total removal and re-install from scratch
- Update to latest flutter versions
- Update the MacOS
- Use preCompiled SDKs
