'Setting up DevTools failed (Flutter Inspector)

I could not find solution to this either on google or here on StackOverflow. There is only and only 1 question answered related to this issue [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64655867/about-android-studio-and-flutter-inspector], however for a beginner like me, its not clear about what exactly to do.

Additional information:

  • OS: Windows
  • Android studio version 4.1.1
  • App is running in avd when I opened flutter inspector panel.
  • Stopped and run the app again.
  • Previously, somewhere I read that if inspector is not showing anything, click on any widget pressing ctrl key. That worked previously, but not working now. Sure, that was different error and different situation.
  • flutter doctor screenshot also attached

Solution 1:[1]

This answer from related question helped.

... And the third one (the one that worked for me): go to File > Settings > Languages & Frameworks > Flutter > Experiments … and there you should uncheck “Enable embedding DevTools in the Flutter Inspector tool window”. That should allow you to use devtools locally instead of the embedded ones.

Solution 2:[2]

Launch Flutter DevTools from terminal using command dart devtools which opens DevTools in the browser. Connect to the address in which debug/run service listening on. Address can be found in the console when the app starts running. Ex: ws://127.0.0.1:54851/JF3H6rhQnN0=/ws.
