How to run flutter web application locally with https?

Question

I built flutter application for web. And able to launch the app using the below command.

flutter run -d chrome

But the above command launches my web app in chrome with http://localhost:59111. I need to test web application in https:// not with http://

Can anyone suggest me to launch web app with https:// localhost.

You can use mkcert to mock a trusted certificate while testing locally using localhost. mkcert automatically creates and installs a local Certificate Authority (CA), and generates locally-trusted certificates.

Follow this guide to install mkcert. On macOS, this can be installed using Homebrew.

brew install mkcert

Run mkcert -install on the terminal to create a new local certificate authority using mkcert. Then run mkcert localhost - this makes all localhost address trusted. Other samples are demonstrated in here.
