Guide to run Flutter inside Window's WSL2 (Ubuntu 11)

README.md

Works with Flutter 3.13 on Windows 11 (with Ubuntu 22.04 on WSL2)

1. Install Ubuntu 22.02 on Microsoft Store
2. Login Ubuntu
3. Install Android-sdk

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install android-sdk
   export ANDROID_HOME=/usr/lib/android-sdk

4. Get Java 18 (for some reason cmdline tools don't work with default jre versions that comes pre-packaged in Android-sdk)

   sudo apt install -y openjdk-18-jdk

5. Install cmdline tools without Android Studio, go here to get latest download link

   wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/commandlinetools-linux-10406996_latest.zip
   unzip commandlinetools-linux-10406996_latest.zip
   
   sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/lib/android-sdk
   sudo mkdir --parents "$ANDROID_HOME/cmdline-tools/latest"
   sudo mv cmdline-tools/* "$ANDROID_HOME/cmdline-tools/latest"
   export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/cmdline-tools/latest/bin:$PATH

6. Upgrade build-tools and android sdk version

   sdkmanager --install "build-tools;28.0.3"
   sdkmanager --install "platforms;android-29"
   

7. Uninstall debug app if its already on device
8. Follow these steps to allow USB connection into WSL2. Important: If you have Android SDK installed on host machine, make sure ADB is not running, execute adb kill-server before hand
9. Plug in Android mobile device
10. Check if ADB / Flutter recognizes (might encouter some authorization issues, just plug out and plug in again, change USB mode to Charge only)

adb devices
flutter devices

11. Build and run project

flutter clean
flutter run
