Overview of this book

“Anyone interested in developing Flutter applications for Android or iOS should have a copy of this book on their desk.” – Amazon 5* Review Lauded as the ‘Flutter bible’ for new and experienced mobile app developers, this recipe-based guide will teach you the best practices for robust app development, as well as how to solve cross-platform development issues. From setting up and customizing your development environment to error handling and debugging, The Flutter Cookbook covers the how-tos as well as the principles behind them. As you progress, the recipes in this book will get you up to speed with the main tasks involved in app development, such as user interface and user experience (UI/UX) design, API design, and creating animations. Later chapters will focus on routing, retrieving data from web services, and persisting data locally. A dedicated section also covers Firebase and its machine learning capabilities. The last chapter is specifically designed to help you create apps for the web and desktop (Windows, Mac, and Linux). Throughout the book, you’ll also find recipes that cover the most important features needed to build a cross-platform application, along with insights into running a single codebase on different platforms. By the end of this Flutter book, you’ll be writing and delivering fully functional apps with confidence.

Summary

By now, you should have a working Flutter environment set up. It is recommended that from time to time you rerun Flutter Doctor to check the status of your environment. The doctor will also let you know when a new version of Flutter is available, which—depending on your channelhappens every few weeks or months. Flutter is still a young framework that is growing fast, so you should always keep your environment up to date.

The same can be said for your iOS and Android SDKs. Mobile development is in a constant state of growth and change. Things sometimes break when they change. With the techniques we covered in this chapter and Flutter Doctor at your side, there should be no challenge you cannot overcome.

The Flutter team is also very receptive to helping you with any technical issues you might encounter. If you run into an issue that hasn't been documented yet, you can always reach out to the Flutter team directly on GitHub at https://github.com/flutter...
