How to update the Flutter SDK?

You can write

flutter upgrade 

command in terminal to update flutter sdk

I want to upgrade most latest version. So I used below commands:

flutter channel dev

Flutter has 4 project branches / channels ie stable, master, dev, beta. First when we install it. flutter install stable channel.

If you want to switch :

flutter channel chanel_name

Then update that :

flutter upgrade

Open your terminal and type

flutter upgrade --force

Sometime flutter upgrade seems not responsive but actually it's doing something. Just add the -v or --verbose option to see what actually happening.

flutter upgrade --verbose

We can upgrade the flutter by simply using Flutter command forcefully.

Like this one :

flutter upgrade --force

But before that we will have to make sure & take a note of few things otherwise it can be risky & we might loss some of our work as well.

Important Note :

• While upgrading the flutter make sure all of your local work is already pushed to the server & you do have a proper back up of all of your code
• Make sure you do have a back of all live changes you did & with working condition

Hopefully this will help out everyone.
