Facing the same issue

I started a new project with all platform flags on (due to the bug), and I need to use only Android and IOS. Will it be hard to eliminate the other platform integrations? How will it effect my development process and my IOS and Android apps?

It might be related, but using 0.7.13 does not generate the macOS platform folder, even when the flag is set to true.

In the documentation : https://github.com/VeryGoodOpenSource/very_good_cli/blob/main/README.md

It is specified that these flags are for the Flutter plugins. It means that it only applies if we we use the plugin template, like this : very_good create my_project -t flutter_plugin --windows false --macos false --linux false

But I agree that it is a problem that we can't choose the platforms for the creation of standard Flutter projects. It is the case with the basic command flutter create --platforms=android,ios So I suppose that it should also be a possibility with very_good create

Meanwhile, the only option that you have is to manually delete the folders that you don't want : web/, windows/, ios/.

At the moment platform flags are only supported for the plugin template. We can expand this to other templates in future releases but we've been focusing on refactoring the create command recently to make the flags/options per template more obvious.

After version 0.10.0, these flags were transformed into a multi-option that only exists under flutter_plugin subcommand. More details are found here.

New usage:

- very_good create my_flutter_plugin -t flutter_plugin --desc "My new Flutter plugin" --windows false --macos false --linux false

+ very_good create flutter_plugin my_flutter_plugin --desc "My new Flutter plugin" --platforms android,ios,web
+ very_good create flutter_plugin my_flutter_plugin --desc "My new Flutter plugin" --platforms=android,ios,web
+ very_good create flutter_plugin my_flutter_plugin --desc "My new Flutter plugin" --platforms android --platforms ios --platforms web

This should sort out the confusion on "not working" on the core template.

Also, created https://github.com/VeryGoodOpenSource/very_good_cli/issues/630 to track the addition of flags in the creation of a flutter app
