[SOLVED] Flutter: Not showing “Open for editing in Android Studio”

The problem is caused by missing .iml project files. These files are added automatically to the .gitignore file but they should not. To fix it:

1. Delete .idea folder.
2. Create a new temporary Flutter project with the same name.
3. Copy from the project to your existing project these 2 missing files:

• [project_name].iml
• android/[project_name]_android.iml

4. Open Android Studio and the problem should be gone.

To avoid it in the future, make sure .iml files are not excluded in the gitignore. There is a Github issue on this topic.
