Flutter is gradually becoming less dependent on the assumption that any platform is enabled. As a result, we need more resilience against platforms being disabled.

Repro

I've run flutter config --no-enable-android, and restarted VSCode. I don't have Android Studio installed.

On choosing Flutter: Select Device, I'm prompted with:

Create Android emulator shouldn't be available in this setting, since it's not a viable option. If I select it, I get this error:

Platform

I'm running the 3.17.1 / 3.17.0 extensions for Dart / Flutter, respectively.
