Description
It might be a problem with Android Studio specifically and I'll report it over there too, but I fully expect that team to try and point back to here...so...
When working on Flutter projects, the platform selection box for launching run/debug configuration should not show platforms that the project isn't configured for.
Reproduction on a Linux computer:
- Open Android Studio
- Create a New Flutter Project
- de-select all platform options except Android
Expectations: I shouldn't see 'Linux' as a platform in my launcher, only running Android Devices
Actual: I see Linux. (see attached image).
This presents as a problem for the user when running devices are 'power cycled' since Linux becomes the default selection when the AVD is turned off and is not reverted back to the AVD selection when the device is turned on again. It really shouldn't show any invalid targets that the project isn't configured for.
