Flutter Intellij/Android Studio plugin shows "no devices" while cli and VSCode show all devices

Problem

Both IntelliJ (2020.1C) and Android Studio (4.0) with Flutter Plugin v46 consistently show “no-devices”, even though the flutter devices and VSCode show all devices (web / Android)

Running on MacOS Catalina 10.15.5

Steps to Reproduce

This is consistent. Things I’ve tried to resolve:

1. Restart the IDEs
2. Execute flutter config --android-sdk /path/to/sdk
3. Execute flutter config --android-studio-dir /path/to/studio
4. Uninstall and reinstall the plugin
5. Create a new Android AVD
6. Start the AVD from the device pull-down menu
7. Starting the IDE with the AVD already running
8. Adding Android SDK to the system path (so adb works from anywhere

@stevemessick I install xcode and it works! However, I don’t understand why xcode is required to run flutter on my android device. This does not make any sence at all, because I can run flutter in vscode without xcode. Please look into this

@pennzht Please try installing xcode flowing the flutter doctor’s instrution and see if it can work
