Flutter macOS Internet Permission

In order to access the internet in a Flutter macOS application, you need to set the necessary permissions in the application’s entitlements file. Follow the steps below:

  1. Create an entitlements file if it doesn’t exist already. You can create it manually or add it through Xcode by following these steps:
    • Open your project in Xcode.
    • Go to “Runner” in the project navigator.
    • Under “Targets” select your macOS application target.
    • Go to the “Signing & Capabilities” tab.
    • Click on the “+” button to add a new capability.
    • Search for “App Sandbox” and select it.
    • Check the “Outgoing Connections (Client)” checkbox.
  2. Modify the entitlements file to allow outgoing connections. Add the following code:
    3. <key>com.apple.security.network.client</key>
<true/>
  3. Save the entitlements file.
  4. Switch back to your Flutter project.
  5. Open the “macos” folder in your project directory.
  6. Open the “Runner.xcworkspace” file in Xcode.
  7. Go to “Build Settings” for your macOS application target.
  8. Search for “Code Signing Entitlements” setting.
  9. Set the value to the relative path of your entitlements file, such as “Runner/Runner.entitlements”.
  10. Build and run your application.

Now your Flutter macOS application will have the necessary permissions to access the internet.
