Flutter web create issue in existing flutter app

Question

I already have the flutter app, now I am adding support to flutter Web following this doc. I am getting the error on flutter create .

Ambiguous organization in existing files: {com.app.android.fluttermodule,com.app.android.flutterModule}. The --org command line argument must be
specified to recreate project.

I have mentioned pubsec.yml

  module:
    androidPackage: com.app.android.fluttermodule
    iosBundleIdentifier: com.app.android.flutterModule

change android package name from manifest and IOS package name from Xcode — Jigar Fumakiya, Sep 27 '19 at 09:16
I just change my ios bunddle id same as android package name and it works — Al Mamun, Apr 20 '21 at 14:37
I found that using dashes in the parent dir name will cause this, see my answer at: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67317234/ambiguous-organization-in-existing-files-the-org-command-line-argume/72297865#72297865 — Petro, May 19 '22 at 02:07

What does the above command do? Why doesn't `flutter create .` work? – Saw Thinkar Nay Htoo Jan 01 '21 at 04:37

When I use this command with an existing project I get the following error: "App_Flutter" is not a valid Dart package name. Please note I'm trying to add a macOS version @SawThinkarNayHtoo – Abdulrahman Alhayek Nov 15 '21 at 06:49

You can add the app to the existing flutter project as well. Here are some steps that I followed

1: Create a new branch to not mess things up in existing branch if you are starting with flutter web for the first time.

2: flutter channel master

3: flutter config --enable-web: Now you may or may not see the new Dart SDK being downloaded.

4: flutter create --org package_name .: This will add the web files in your project.

5: flutter devices: You must see chrome listed now.

6: flutter run -d chrome: If you see something like project not configured for the web then try step 3 again and reopen your editor.

flutter create --org flutterappname ./

Here is what I did for an existing project.

Step 1: Create a new folder named web_project or something in the existing project folder.

Step 2: Go to this folder in the terminal

Step 3: Run flutter create --platforms web --org com.example.flutter .

This step will create a new flutter project with a web folder in it

Step 4: Cut and paste the web folder in your existing project folder and delete the new project which in my case was web_project

Step 5: Run the project and you will see Chrome as a device in the devices menu

FYI: This is done on Flutter 2.2.0

Hope this will help you to add web support to your flutter project

we don't have to create a new project, we just need to pass the specific organization name.

 e.g: flutter create --org <<domain_keyword>> .

this happens because, during new project creation, we leave the domain as IDE suggested. which is "com.example.project_name" and during sign application, we need to change the domain and almost everyone change it.

Ambiguous organization in existing files: {com.app.android.fluttermodule,com.app.android.flutterModule}. The --org command line argument must be specified to recreate project.

It means there's different package names.

com.app.android.fluttermodule
com.app.android.flutterModule

One or some of your names contain lowercase m in ..android.fluttermodule and some uppercase M. Rename all to be the same and run flutter create . again.
