How do I create a flutter project despite the error "At least one platform must be selected"?
Solution 1
Just the temporary solution create project with cmd
flutter create my_app
must have flutter environment set in your OS. Then open with intellij project by browse my_app directory.
Solution 2
Problem is with 53.0 version of Flutter plugin for IntelliJ. You need to install previous version.
- Download Flutter plugin from this link (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/download?rel=true&updateId=107561)
- Open IntelliJ
- Go to Settings
- Click on Plugins
- Click on Settings icon at the right corner of navbar
- Click "Install Plugin from Disk..."
- Select .zip file of Flutter plugin you just downloaded
- Restart IDE
This works for me, hope this will solve your problem.
Solution 3
Known issue (caused by flutter/devtools#2653), please see https://github.com/flutter/flutter-intellij/issues/5230#issuecomment-771279236 for a workaround

I'm trying to create a new Flutter project in IntelliJ and I get the error "At least one platform must be selected"
I followed the instructions from the Flutter website: ( here and here) However when I click on 'Finish' I receive the error shown and in the specified place just an empty folder is created.
Example from start to end:
-
Install the Flutter and Dart plugins from the IntelliJ marketplace
-
Click on "Create New Project" and choose Flutter from the list on the left
-
Flutter SDK path is prefilled to
/home/nikko/snap/flutter/common/flutter
(see note on flutter), so I click Next -
set name:
tryseven
, location:~/Folders/Me/Programming/Mobile/Flutter/tryseven
,- type:
Application
, - organization:
com.example
- android language:
Java
- iOS language:
Swift
- create project offline: False
- type:
-
the "More settings" tab wasn't changed, default project format is
.idea (directory based)
-
Click finish and I get the error. When I go to
~/Folders/Me/Programming/Mobile/Flutter/tryseven
the directory is created and is empty
Notes:
flutter --version
returnsFlutter 1.22.6 • channel stable • https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git Framework • revision 9b2d32b605 (11 days ago) • 2021-01-22 14:36:39 -0800 Engine • revision 2f0af37152 Tools • Dart 2.10.5
and if I change the "Flutter SDK path" to something else I get the warning "Flutter SDK is not found in the specified location." So Flutter should be set correctly
using Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS 64-bit
and IntelliJ IDEA v.2020.1.4
IntelliJ doesn't open after I close it, I need to kill the process first, even though the window is closed. Not sure if that impacts in any way, but I'll reinstall the IDE
What I've tried without success:
- changing the language to Kotlin or C
- changing the organization to
test.org
- changing the type to Package (language and organization selection are disabled)
- changing "Create project offline" to True

Nikko about 3 yearsHello lena, after removing the new version and putting 52.2.5 I get the error "Incompatible (since build 203.5981.155 > IU-201.8743.12)" and I no longer have the option to create a Flutter project in the menu
-
Nikko about 3 yearsWhat version of IntelliJ are you using? When I follow these steps exactly I get the error "Plugin 'Flutter' is incompatible with this installation"
-
Ben Jie Ming about 3 yearsI use IntelliJ Ultimate, and plugin I posted is compatible with that version. Click here (plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9212-flutter/versions ) and download plugin for Community version (you have to choose version 52.2.3 or 52.2.5).

Nikko about 3 yearsI am also using IntelliJ Ultimate - IntelliJ IDEA 2020.1.4 (Ultimate Edition) Build #IU-201.8743.12, built on July 21, 2020 Non-Bundled Plugins: CheckStyle-IDEA, app.teamhub, Dart Current Desktop: ubuntu:GNOME

Nikko about 3 yearsThis is the only answer that actually allows me to create a project. It's not through the plugin which makes it more difficult to use, but it works
