Cannot extend a "flavored" product with web

[ened]

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a regular project (ios/android) etc & define flavors (like "standard") in the Xcode workspace. I created it using the stable branch.
2. Attempt to extend the project with web support by calling flutter create again (this time from the beta branch)

Attempting it first will show the following message:

$ flutter create --platforms web .

The Xcode project defines schemes: standard
You must specify a --flavor option to select one of the available schemes.

Following this up with the flavor option raises a error:

$ flutter create --platforms web --flavor standard .
Could not find an option named "flavor".


Run 'flutter -h' (or 'flutter <command> -h') for available flutter commands and options.

Hi @ened,
flavor is not supported on web and Flutter doesn't have plans to implement it. Please see this comment and possible workarounds.
I am going ahead and closing this. If you disagree, write in comments and I'll reopen.
Thanks.

@darshankawar in that case the ticket could be renamed to reflect that the flutter command output is misleading.
