When to know u are good to start using ai

Hello guys i hope u are doing well , i really like ai and vibe coding and building stuff and i chose flutter because its cross platform , before i started using ai i made project ( solo with tutorials and docs ) : i made notes app with auth using supabase and an ai chat app with supabase edge function and gemini free api also i made weather app then have a search with it , and a pose detection app . I also used feature first architecture. Is this enough to start vibe coding but not just approving blindly or is there anymore stuff i must learn before making apps and hopefully publishing them . Thank you for reading

Serverpod in 2026!?

i've seen threads on serverpod here, but its all at least a year old. i just wanna know how good it is in 2026.

i've been using supabase for my previous projects, and i'm pretty okay with it. just thought i'll use serverpod for my next project.

also please suggest if there are any other good dart backend frameworks other than serverpod.

How can WidgetKit display the latest HealthKit steps without opening the app?

I'm building a Flutter health app that tracks steps and sleep using HealthKit. I've also created WidgetKit widgets so users can view their latest step count and sleep data without opening the app.

On Android, I use WorkManager to update the widget approximately every 45 minutes, and that works well.

On iOS, however, once the app is terminated, background work is no longer reliable, so I can't periodically fetch HealthKit data and update the widget.

My main question is about live HealthKit data:

  • How do health apps keep their step-count widgets updated while the app has been terminated for days?
  • Can HKObserverQuery with HealthKit background delivery wake the app after it has been terminated, or does it stop working until the user launches the app again?
  • Is there an Apple-recommended architecture for keeping HealthKit widgets reasonably up to date?
  • Are BGTaskScheduler, WidgetKit timelines, or App Intents sufficient for this use case, or are there limitations that make truly live updates impossible?
  • If you've built a HealthKit-based widget before, how do you keep the widget displaying the latest step count without requiring the user to open the app?

I'm looking for Apple's recommended approach and any real-world implementation experience. Any advice or links to relevant documentation would be greatly appreciated.

Why can't I find openings for Flutter Developer?

Hey guys! A 4th year College student here. I'm enthusiastic in building apps in Flutter and that's my go to for building stuff with.
But I can't find much jobs for Flutter developers (which take in Freshers).

Is learning Flutter as my Primary Development Framework a wrong choice, cause most SDE jobs which comes to my Campus for Placements ask for React or some JS based Frameworks. I'm really confused, guys

P.S: Sry if this feels like a rant, but this is actually how I feel people... So if there's anyone out there, help me out

Is it possible to use Keycloak's hosted custom login page directly from Flutter and make it look completely native?

Hey everyone,

​I’m working on a Flutter app and using Keycloak for authentication. Instead of building the login UI using Flutter widgets and sending the credentials via an API, I want the app to talk directly to Keycloak as a public client and open Keycloak's hosted custom login page.

​My questions are:

​Is this fully supported and considered best practice for Flutter? What packages do you recommend for handling the redirect and PKCE (e.g., flutter_appauth vs others)?

​How close can we get the Keycloak-hosted HTML/CSS page to look like a native app UI? Has anyone successfully themed Keycloak templates to perfectly match their Flutter app's design system?

​Would love to hear about any pitfalls, cookie/session management issues, or tips you have for this setup. Thanks!

[Question] As a solo Flutter dev, how are you handling the Google Play 20-tester requirement? Body:

Hi everyone,

I’m currently in the final stages of launching my Flutter app, HSU Live Captions, which focuses on offline, real-time two-way translation.

I’ve hit a hurdle with the new Google Play policy requiring 20 testers for 14 days. As a solo, self-taught dev, I’m finding it quite challenging to reach this threshold while maintaining privacy and quality.

I’m curious how other solo Flutter developers here have navigated this 20-tester requirement? Are there specific communities or strategies you've found effective to find genuine testers without violating "no advertising" rules in development subreddits?

Any advice or insights on how to handle this phase would be greatly appreciated!

How are you handling PayPal checkout in Flutter apps?

I’m working on PayPal integration in a Flutter app and wanted to understand how people are handling it in production.

Flow I’m considering:

a. Backend creates PayPal order
b. App opens PayPal approval URL
c. User completes payment
d. App receives success/cancel through deep link
e. Backend captures/verifies the payment

I don’t really want to depend on random Flutter PayPal packages for the main payment flow, especially if they are not actively maintained.

For those who have done this in real apps:

Do you open PayPal in an in-app WebView, or send the user to browser/custom tabs and bring them back with deep links?

Also, any issues with app review, redirects, or failed return flows?

Or, let me know if you could suggest me some better package also.

Would like to know what approach has been stable for you.

Need advice from Flutter developers: what’s one Flutter feature you ignored as a beginner but later realized is useful in almost every project?

When I started learning Flutter, I mostly focused on building screens and didn’t pay much attention to some built-in features. Later, while doing more projects, I found that a few of them actually made development easier and reduced extra work.

So I wanted to ask, which Flutter feature did you ignore at first but now use regularly? Any examples from your projects?

What should I focus on during my 6-month Flutter internship to become job-ready?

Hi everyone,

I recently joined a startup as a Flutter intern. They're training me in Flutter and Firebase, and at the same time I'm working on their actual project, which has been a great learning experience so far.

The internship is for 6 months, but I'm not sure if they'll hire me full-time afterward. So I want to use these 6 months as effectively as possible and become good enough to apply for Flutter developer roles anywhere.

I'd love some advice from people who are already working with Flutter.

What should I focus on the most during these 6 months?

Also, what skills do companies actually expect from a Flutter developer with around 6 months of experience? If you were starting again, what would you learn first, and what would you avoid spending too much time on?

Help Please for App

I need help. I'm trying to build an app using Flutter where users can edit templates. These templates are Photoshop PSD files, and I want to store them in Supabase so that I don't have to update the app every time new templates are added.

The app is intended for personalized flower greeting cards. These templates often contain different layers that can be replaced, such as text elements, decorative components, and user-provided photos. The photos should ideally be processed through an API or the iPhone's Neural Engine to automatically remove the background and isolate the person.

My problem is that when I extract the PSD data using a Python extension, it generates YAML or JSON files. However, when I load those files in the app, the result does not match the original Photoshop design. Elements are shifted, positioned incorrectly, scaled differently, and the overall layout looks inconsistent. Sizes, coordinates, and alignments seem to be wrong, making the rendered template unusable.

I'm looking for a reliable way to convert PSD templates into a format that can be accurately rendered and edited in Flutter while preserving the original positioning, dimensions, and layer structure.
