Allow running a Flutter app from a project subfolder

See original GitHub issue

For projects implementing Flutter widgets (or plugins) it is very common to have an example app in example/ folder. Like here:

https://github.com/pulyaevskiy/parallax-image

Currently it doesn’t seem possible to run such apps in vscode. I tried modifying launch.json to have "program": "example/lib/main.dart" but it still fails with following error:

Launching example/lib/main.dart on iPhone 7 Plus in debug mode...
No application found for TargetPlatform.ios.
Is your project missing an ios/Runner/Info.plist?
Consider running "flutter create ." to create one.

By the way, I just tried to do this and added example subfolder as second root. It still failed to locate lib/main.dart when I hit F5

My first guess is that you already had a launch.json somewhere so the debug config was set to it. The launch.json-less launching only works when you have no selected debug configuration. For multiple projects you’ll likely need to have launch.jsons.

See my latest comment on the related case though.
