Flutter-Gallery UWP

A demo project using Flutter Gallery (https://github.com/flutter/gallery) and leveraging the experimental UWP Flutter Embedder (https://github.com/clarkezone/engine). Has been tested on Windows 10 desktop, Windows 10x emulator, XBOX. This is not complete nor production quality; it is for demonstration purposes only and illustrating progress to date on the Flutter UWP experiment.

Make sure you read the section below on building Flutter Windows UWP binaries before attempting to compile the project in the repo.

Prerequisits

• Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition or better with:
  • UWP workload with optional C++ support enabled
  • C++/WinRT Extension
    • To install, go to Extensions->Manage Extensions, search for C++/WinRT, install that extension, and then exit Visual Studio.
• PowerShell with local script execution enabled:
  • Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope LocalMachine

Building Flutter Windows UWP experimental binaries

In order to be able to run this project you'll need to compile your own flutter_windows_winrt binaries.

Setup

Check out the experimental UWP engine fork next to this project:

• rootdir\fluttergalleryuwp (this project)
• rootdir\engine (from https://github.com/clarkezone/engine)
  • Ensure that you have the flutter-uwp-feb2021 branch checked out.

(If you use a different layout, you will need to modify copy-local-engine.ps1 accordingly.)

Building

• Follow the instructions to build the fork[https://github.com/clarkezone/engine#build-instructions)].
• Once the build is complete, run .\scripts\copy-local-engine.ps1 in this project.

If you rebuild the engine, you will need to re-run copy-local-engine.

Running Flutter Gallery

Once the UWP engine binaries have been copied, open src\FlutterGalleryUWP.sln and run it. (There is currently no integration with the flutter tool.)
