I saw a few peoples managed to build flutter apps for other OS than the usual Android/IOS
My question here is simple : How ? What is the current process to build a flutter app for mac/windows ? There's no need for it to be production ready. Something experimental is enough
For those wondering how to : https://github.com/google/flutter-desktop-embedding
There's an example using openGL to render a flutter app
Step 1:
For Flutter to run on Desktop, we must be on the master channel, with the latest release. So run from cmd,
flutter channel master
and
flutter upgrade
Step 2: Then we have to enable flutter desktop support.
set ENABLE_FLUTTER_DESKTOP=true
Step 3:
Then clone this repo and cd example directory.
Step 4:
Then replace the lib folder inside the example directory with our existing code, and replace the pubspec.yaml file, with our existing one.
Step 5: Then run from terminal
flutter packages get
and
flutter run
You can find more info here.

Still not stable but does a good job of rendering flutter apps on desktop
Here's something I found useful, it is currently in alpha version but does the job by enabling us to develop Mac and Windows apps in Flutter : https://feather-apps.com/
