Run Flutter app on iOS 2021 edition

You need an apple developer account and XCode

Open the Flutter app in XCode

In Android Studio, go to Tools / Flutter / Open iOS module in XCode. I know, using ANDROID studio to make apps for an iPhone…

Prepare XCode

Connect your phone to the computer. On the top left part, click Runner > and select your phone. If you don’t see your device you’ll need to troubleshoot, don’t select “Any iOS device”

Go to XCode / Preferences / Account tab, press the plus button, select Apple ID and login to your Developer account. You’ll be prompted for keychain access, allow all. After you are done, make sure a team is available. Some tutorials made you do this step by manually creating a CSR key on your computer and upload it to Apple, following the wizard in XCode is much easier

Next, select runner on the left pane, and select signing & capabilities, make sure automatically manage signing is selected

Remotely debug your app

  • In XCode, select Windows / Device and simulators
  • Click on your phone, check the connect via network button

Wait until there’s a globe next to your phone’s name. That’s it, you can now disconnect your phone from the computer and deploy your app remotely to your phone by clicking the Run button
