Debug Flutter apps

There's a wide variety of tools and features to help debug Flutter applications. Here are some of the available tools:

  • VS Code(recommended) and Android Studio/IntelliJ, (enabled with the Flutter and Dart plugins) support a built-in source-level debugger with the ability to set breakpoints, step through code, and examine values.
  • DevTools, a suite of performance and profiling tools that run in a browser.
  • Flutter inspector, a widget inspector available in DevTools, and also directly from Android Studio and IntelliJ (enabled with the Flutter plugin). The inspector allows you to examine a visual representation of the widget tree, inspect individual widgets and their property values, enable the performance overlay, and more.
  • If you are looking for a way to use GDB to remotely debug the Flutter engine running within an Android app process, check out flutter_gdb.
