virtual_device

Description:

virtual device

Virtual Device #
Manage one or many iOS simulators and Android emulators
Setup #
This package expects several commands to be in the shell:

xcrun for iOS
adb, avdmanager, and emulator for Android

Command Line Tools installs xcrun, but Android requires updating the PATH:
# your ANDROID_HOME may vary; this is usually the install path on Mac machines
export ANDROID_HOME="$HOME/Library/Android/sdk"
export PATH="$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/emulator:$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$ANDROID_HOME/tools"

Usage #
import 'package:virtual_device/virtual_device.dart';

final simulators = await IosSimulator.availableDevices();
await simulators.first.start();

// Virtual Device will increment your simulator names, so you don't need to
// specify them. This would become `iPad Air 2:14.2:1`, but if it were run
// again, the created device would be named `iPad Air 2:14.2:2`.
final newSimulator = IosSimulator(
model: 'iPad Air 2',
os: OperatingSystem.iOS,
osVersion: '14.2',
);
await newSimulator.createOrStart();

// shutdown
await newSimulator.stop();

// clean
await newSimulator.wipe();

// start again
await newSimulator.start();
await newSimulator.stop();

// destroy
await newSimulator.delete();
