How To Run Flutter App In Visual Studio Code 2024 (Full Tutorial)

To run a Flutter app in Visual Studio Code, first ensure you have Flutter and Dart SDKs installed, along with the Flutter and Dart extensions for VS Code. Open your project folder in Visual Studio Code. Use the integrated terminal to execute `flutter pub get` to fetch dependencies.

To launch your app, select a target device from the device selector in the bottom toolbar—this can be an emulator or a physical device. Finally, press `F5` or navigate to the "Run" menu and select "Start Debugging." This initiates the app and allows for real-time debugging and hot reload capabilities, enhancing your development experience.
