Moving Intellij-Android-Studio Flutter Projects between Platforms

When moving a Flutter Project that was created in Intellij-Android-Studio on Linux Platform, to a Windows Platform, you will face issues like studio wont be able to recognize the flutter plugins and dart plugins

Why does this happen ?

.idea/libraries/Dart_Packages.xml

        <entry key="archive">
          <value>
            <list>
              <option value="/opt/flutter/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/archive-2.0.13/lib" />
            </list>
          </value>
        </entry>
        <entry key="args">
          <value>
            <list>
              <option value="/opt/flutter/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/args-1.6.0/lib" />
            </list>
          </value>
        </entry>

see the value ? that location was machine specific, so now in your new machine that cannot be found anymore !

similarly in,

.idea/libraries/Dart_SDK.xml

<root url="file://C:/flutter/bin/cache/dart-sdk/lib/async" />
      <root url="file://C:/flutter/bin/cache/dart-sdk/lib/cli" />
      <root url="file://C:/flutter/bin/cache/dart-sdk/lib/collection" />
      <root url="file://C:/flutter/bin/cache/dart-sdk/lib/convert" />
      <root url="file://C:/flutter/bin/cache/dart-sdk/lib/core" />
      <root url="file://C:/flutter/bin/cache/dart-sdk/lib/developer" />
      <root url="file://C:/flutter/bin/cache/dart-sdk/lib/ffi" />
      <root url="file://C:/flutter/bin/cache/dart-sdk/lib/html" />
      <root url="file://C:/flutter/bin/cache/dart-sdk/lib/indexed_db" />

Lets see how to set it up in your new machine/platform

The files that are platform specific are

.dart_tool
.idea
build
.flutter-plugins
.flutter-plugins-dependencies

So you can simply delete these folders/files and open the project in Android Studio, then run

flutter clean
flutter pub get

This will clean up the build folder, and then fetch the dependencies mentioned in the pubspec.yaml

Now you can attach your android device and click on run to start debugging !

run
