  <b>My Answer:</b>

Instead of exiting, the `flutter` CLI tool now prints a warning when the `--flavor` option is used with a target platform that doesn't have flavors support.
</pre>

* impact_description: What is the impact (ex. visual jank on Samsung phones, app crash, cannot ship an iOS app)? Does it impact development (ex. flutter doctor crashes when Android Studio is installed), or the shipping production app (the app crashes on launch)<br>

<pre>
  <b>My Answer:</b>
All Flutter devs using the Flavors feature that use their IDE to select a target device.

</pre>

* Workaround: Is there a workaround for this issue?<br>

<pre>
  <b>My Answer:</b> Users can create duplicate debug launch configurations for target platforms that do not support the flavors feature.
</pre>

* Risk: What is the risk level of this cherry-pick?<br>

* Test Coverage: Are you confident that your fix is well-tested by automated tests?<br>

  <b>My Answer:</b>

</pre>

* Validation Steps: What are the steps to validate that this fix works?<br>

<pre>
  <b>My Answer:</b>

Set up a flutter project and configure at least one flavor for it. In VSCode, create a launch configuration that uses `--flavor` to select the flavor you configured (see flutter#143574 (comment) for an example). In VSCode, select chrome as the target device and try running the application using the configured launch configuration.
