Quit on close
If you need to use the hide method, you need to disable QuitOnClose.
macOS
Change the file macos/Runner/AppDelegate.swift as follows:
import Cocoa
import FlutterMacOS
@NSApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: FlutterAppDelegate {
override func applicationShouldTerminateAfterLastWindowClosed(_ sender: NSApplication) -> Bool {
- return true
+ return false
}
}
