Book Description
"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 teaches best practices for robust, production-ready app development and solving cross-platform challenges. From setting up your development environment to error handling, debugging, and testing, Flutter Cookbook covers both the how-tos and the principles behind them. As you progress, you'll tackle core tasks such as UI/UX design, API integration, animations, and managing application state using Provider, Riverpod, and GetX. Later chapters explore routing, working with web services, local data persistence, and testing using unit, widget, and integration tests. A dedicated section covers Firebase and its machine learning capabilities, along with building AI-powered features using ML Kit and Gemini APIs. You'll also build apps for iOS and Android from a single codebase, with guidance on extending them to web and desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux). Throughout the book, you'll learn how to develop, run, and deploy cross-platform apps to the App Store and Google Play. By the end, you'll confidently build, test, and deliver fully functional Flutter applications.
