Required content for platform android is missing reinstall xcode

I have a flutter app that I want to build the iOS. I Just bought a MacBook Air, OS Catalina v. 10.15.6 just for that. I have been struggling since this week just to install the Xcode from website or App Store, I am still getting an error when I open the Xcode saying: required content for platform android is missing. Please reinstall Xcode
I reinstalled Xcode 3 times already, so this is not the issue.
When I run flutter doctor, I first have a dialog saying: git command requires the command line develop tools.... and this is the output in Terminal:
[!] Android toolchain - develop for Android devices (Android SDK version 30.0.2)
✗ Android licenses not accepted. To resolve this, run: flutter doctor
--android-licenses
[!] Xcode - develop for iOS and macOS (Xcode 11.6)
✗ Xcode requires additional components to be installed in order to run.
Launch Xcode and install additional required components when prompted or
run:
sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch
✗ CocoaPods installed but not working.
You appear to have CocoaPods installed but it is not working.
This can happen if the version of Ruby that CocoaPods was installed with
is different from the one being used to invoke it.
This can usually be fixed by re-installing CocoaPods. For more info, see
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/14293.
To re-install CocoaPods, run:
sudo gem install cocoapods

Unable to create Dart Project in Android Studio 4.0

Moreover, if i go to android studio preferences, there i could see Dart and its SDK path. Plugins are showing that Flutter and Dart are installed and up to date.
Additionally, I have installed intelliJ separately in my Mac, where i could see Dart in new project selection. Am i missing something to install in Android studio? that is why it is not showing Dart language in new project settings? please help.

just add Flutter to your androidStudio plugin go to :
Start Android Studio.
Open plugin preferences " preference->plugin " (Configure > Plugins as of v3.6.3.0 or later).
Select the Flutter plugin and click Install.
Click Yes when prompted to install the Dart plugin.
Click Restart when prompted.
that's all !

You are trying to create Flutter project as I understand.There is no Dart project. There is Flutter project which uses dart language. You need to install flutter plug-in on android studio. and there will be create new flutter project option.
This is from where you are creating flutter project:
If this option is not there that means you have not installed flutter plugin on android studio.
https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/editor Check this out if there is not this option.

Device not applicable for the "main.dart" configuration ,

I use Android Studio as my IDE in coding Flutter. I was able to create 2 projects before this and it worked absolutely fine. I had to clone a repo from Github. The IDE said to get config. I did that then this happened.
I already installed sdk .
My android devices android version is 7.0

I've had the same issue and what worked for me is to re-import the project.
File > Close Project, go to the project's directory and delete the .idea folder.
Then File > Open... and re-open the project.
Open Project Structure, you can set the project's SDK with what you have.
After this, I was able to run main.dart with the emulator.

It solved my problem:
Make sure Flutter plugin is installed in android studio, you can install the plugin from file > setting > plugin
choose flutter SDK path from File > setting> Language & Framework > flutter.

It took me a while to find Project that the others are seeing, it's probably due to the updated version of Android Studio. I found it on External Libraries on the left panel and under it, right click on the Android API (NN) Platform > Open Library Settings > Project under Project Settings and on the right panel, change the Android API. I had <No SDK>, see screenshot.

This seems to be the problem:
[X] Android toolchain - develop for Android devices
-> ANDROID_HOME = D:\Android\Sdk but Android SDK not found at this location.
Since you said that you added the Android SDK to your D directory, you could just add D:\Android\sdk\tools and D:\Android\sdk\platform-tools to your PATH environment variable. This is how you can add it to your Path enviroment variable: https://docs.telerik.com/teststudio/features/test-runners/add-path-environment-variables

It seems like this problem may have a lot of different symptoms, but for me to be able to run my flutter app in my android device, I had to set the android SDK in the Project Structure modal.
You can open the Project Structure modal by right clicking on the project root folder (in the file tree) > Module Settings > Project and set the Project SDK:
Mine is like this:
If somehow the Project tab is disabled or in a weird state, I recommend you to close android studio, delete the project .iml file and the .idea folder, reopen the project in AS (open existing project) and set the android SDK in the project structure like I've described above. At least this is what I did and it fixed for me, so I hope this answer help someone.

Go to Tools > SDK Manager > SDK Tools and check Google USB Driver. Restart Android Studio.
All this worked for me, might be helpful to someone.

All you need is to run Android Studio as Administrator.

Thats warning said "Android SDK location should not contain whitespace". There is a whitespace character in Tamim Mustofa.
You can move sdk folder to new folder like D:\Android\Sdk, where there is no space or other whitespace character in the path.
Change Android Sdk Location address in Android Studio.
and add variabel ANDROID_HOME in your Environment Variable: System Variable. with D:\Android\Sdk as variable value

Some SDK versions of Flutter may cause the problem of not being able to find the device or simulator.You can switch the SDK version to the stable version.
I had a same problem on my Mac with the Flutter version 1.17.4, and it worked after I went back the version to 1.17.3.
Version rollback step:
1.Open the Flutter GitHub repository.
2.Click 'master' button to open the switch menu. And the click 'Tags' item.
3.Search the stable version tag(e.g. 1.17.3).
4.Open the tag and click the commits.
5.Copy the top commit id.
6.Run the command 'git reset --hard $(commit id)' in the Flutter directory.
7.Restart the Android Studio.

File > Invalide caches/restart, work for me

If you are using macOS and the other answers did not work, try this
flutter config --enable-macos-desktop

For me, going to device manager in android studio and running the emulator, fixed it. Thus the emulator has to be running before you can select it to run the application on, which makes sense I guess...

In my case there was no package attribute in the android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml file for the manifest tag. Adding it solved the problem:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="my.package.name">
OR
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="#applicationId">

type to terminal this below
flutter config --android-sdk ANDROID_SDK_PATH

Reading this page helped: by the time I reached the end of this page Android Studio had fully recognised my connected mobile phone (with developer mode enabled) and it was not longer greyed out in the Devices list.

All you need is Updating the android SDK then restart the IDE.
That's it.

This kind of problem I was facing so When I was done with Invalid caches/ restart then it automatically detect the main. dart and works fine.
Just give it a try with Invalid Caches/ Restart.

Check your Dart SDK and Flutter SDK path setup in the Environment variable setup and inside the setting of the android studio as well.
If it is ok then Do Invalid Caches/ Restart the project and Check.
It might be helped. !!!

I feel the solution is pretty straight forward. Usually, it's always a best practice to use Android Studio when working with Flutter and Dart. Reasons are there are some dependencies that would require you to use Android Studio to have it work well for you, especially when you're just starting to work with Flutter and Dart.
Flutter Doctor is pretty precise as to the issues you're experiencing.
After downloading Android Studio, do the following;
Navigate to your Preferences or Android Studio Settings on PC, then select, Plugins, ensure the following plugins are installed.
Android APK Support
Android NDK Support
Dart
Flutter
EditorConfig
App Links Assistant
Google Services
Gradle
Properties Support
Java Bytecode Decompiler
Java Stream Debugger
Task Management
YAML
Among others which would be automatically installed by Android Studio for you, this should take that error away and you should be fine.
Then, before you probably run your App, if you see the get dependencies at the Top of your Android Studio, click the get dependencies so that Android studio can get the latest dependencies to run your App without issues.
Ensure you run a cold restart after each time you add a new dependency to your pubspec.yaml file.

Different from another similar questions here in StackOverflow, before I've installed flutter plugin the "[✓] Android Studio (version 3.4)" was equal to "[!] Android Studio", with same error messages. After I've installed flutter plugin (and dart), only "[!] Android Studio" still displaying the error.
Does someone know why? I've made many searches in my files, I have only one Android Studio installed. Why displays two? What "[!] Android Studio" refer to? Does command "$ flutter doctor" have a problem?

This post is for those who have gotten the plug-ins installed but still receive the warning.
Note: The Flutter team has created an issue for the inability of doctor to detect installed plug-ins. It's a know issue and they are looking to deprecate this detection feature of doctor:
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/61246
My flutter and dart plug-ins are correctly installed but I still get the warning.
[!] Android Studio (version 4.0)
✗ Flutter plugin not installed; this adds Flutter specific functionality.
✗ Dart plugin not installed; this adds Dart specific functionality.
In my case ignoring the warning worked fine.
I tried re-installing plug-ins several times but that did not remove the warning from flutter doctor.
However, everything works fine. I can successfully create and run apps created from
the command line with flutter create
from Android Studio with File->New->New Flutter Project
I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Android Studio 4.0.1 (installed through JetBrains toolbox)
I installed flutter via the snap store:
sudo snap install flutter --classic
sudo snap install flutter-gallery
flutter channel dev
flutter upgrade
flutter config --enable-linux-desktop
# wanted to try web, apparently requires beta channel
flutter channel beta
flutter channel upgrade
flutter config --enable-web
FYI, it took me a while to understand where the Flutter SDK was located. It is here: /home/(username)/snap/flutter/common/flutter
Plugins installed correctly, but still get warning:

This can be solved in simple steps:
Step 1: Open Android Studio
Step 2: Open Android Studio Preferences
Step 3: Go-to Plugins tab
Step 4: Click on MarketPlace tab
Step 5: Search for flutter in search box
You will see a list of plugins related to flutter. Click on the first one and check which version it is. Currently, the latest version is 37.1.1.
Step 6: Click on install. (It may ask you to install dart plugin also. Hit yes and android studio will install dart and flutter for you)
Ready to rock !

I recently encountered this problem, I first tried to update the flutter and dart plugin from the android studio market place, but that did not work
Finally, I run the following command and it worked like a charm
ln -s ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/plugins ~/Library/Application\ Support/AndroidStudio4.1
Note: I'm on Mac OS running android studio 4.1
