Hey has anyone set up Flutter recently?

1

Will just unzipping Flutter include Dart ?
or do I need to download that separately ?

I have a project it seems well suited to

2

Yes. Flutter includes Dart.

3

sadly 'm on an OLD version of macOS and flutter doctor bitches about an old Xcode

HOWEVER

this is a workaround
CAVEAT from the author that

As far as I know, at least for Flutter 3.0 ~ 3.0.5, the Flutter team did not add features that rely on the newer XCode version. I’m also able to use Flutter 3.3.10 on simpler projects, but I’m still testing. However, do note that if features relying on the newer XCode version are added, your build will break.

so far this lets me use the latest flutter/dart but on an older version of macOS
