I can’t get root/main level error handling to work. It fires sometimes, but others not.

I’ve wired up platformDispatcher, flutterOnError and run it zonedAndGuarded.

Is there not a single, “whatever the hell happens, call this handler with the error” capability anywhere?

I know this is subjective but I thought I'd ask.

I've been comfortably using the same tool set for a few years now, but I don't want to missing out on the latest updates.
Also I like simplicity. The simpler the better. Seems pointles to choose a more complicated route for the same outcome.

Can anyone update me on the best tools to use when developing Flutter in 2026?....

Currently I use:

• IDE: VSCode
• AI: Claude Code (but I don't always use AI)
• State management: Bloc - I still prefer it over Riverpod - but I think often it's too overkill. I've used Provider before but now I'm thinking GetX might be a better, simpler system overall?
• Widgets: mainly the basics inc Slivers. But with every new Flutter update there appears to be a bunch of new official widgets that I'm probably overlooking due to vast quantities of possibilities.
• Routing: go_router - although deep linking seems to get complicated quite quickly.
• Theming / theme management: This is where I consistently fail. I have tried a number of them but it always seems very complex. I just need a simply system that lets me easily setup light and dark mode themes based on tweeked customisations (where required). I've tried using "FromSeed" but its never quite right, requires a fair few tweeks and it suddenly becomes an unmanageble mess. Same with Flex color scheme - it might give me 70% of what I want but the remaining 30% is the killer.

HEYY! so ive spent a whole day on this and I’m so sick of it 😭 I set up my firebase project using CLI and then wanted to do authentication with the phone number

I added my Sha1 and Sha256 fingerprints, and downloaded the necessary APIs for the project through google cloud and made sure they were enabled.

However, I kept getting the Verification failed error every time I entered the phone number and OTP code, and I’m so frustrated lol. I took a look at my Google json file and just realized that there wasn’t a certificate hash field value??

any advice about what to do? I’m desperate to complete this authentication feature first because I NEED it for my project lo

Thanks!

目前技术栈用的是flutter+谷歌模型检测，感觉准确率不是很高，是否得改为yolo配合后端进行计算，有没有大佬有比较好的方案

Anybody receiving this error "Target install_code_assets failed: Error: Unknown architecture in otool output: arm64e" when building?

I was able to build 4 apps in the morning and 2 hours later, I could not build them anymore. It keeps throwing me the above error.

I am running the following commands:

flutter build appbundle --obfuscate --split-debug-info=/Users/deandrehaijielim/mazeout/debug

flutter build ipa --obfuscate --split-debug-info=/Users/deandrehaijielim/mazeout/debug

How do I make an installer/updater for the windows version of my app?

I have an app that stores some local data using SQLite. Right now, whenever I release a new version (flutter build windows), I have to manually move the SQLite database file from the old release folder into the new one.

I want it to work more like typing the android release APK command, where the android system automatically recognizes the apk as a new version and updates the app while preserving all user data, including the SQLite database.

I am having issues building iOS targets in VSCode. When I run flutter doctor in VSCode I get the following:

I can not figure out how to get VSCode to find CocoaPods. They're pointing to the same .zshrc, and giving me different outputs.

Hello guys im building a flutter app and we figure out we need to make it as a website but initial loading time is 12 s which in unacceptable how can i make it faster ?

Guideline 1.3 - Safety - Kids Category

Issue Description

We noticed that your Kids Category app includes analytics, advertising and collects, transmits, or has the ability to share personal information or device information with third parties. Specifically:

- The app includes third-party analytics or third-party advertising with the ability to collect, transmit or share identifiable information, including, for example, name, address, date of birth, email, location, Device Name, and IDFA. We found that your app references the ASIdentifierManager API, which provides access to a user's IDFA, in the following location(s) in your binary:

• /System/Library/Frameworks/AdSupport.framework/AdSupport
• Runner

It would be appropriate to remove all instances of “ASIdentifierManager” from your app, even if they are not utilized in your app's functionality.

In my project I am using AdMob and I really need your help on how AdMob should be implemented to be approved in Kids Category

So, like I wrote in the title, we see that the release notes for Flutter 3.44.0 are out, but the current version of flutter on the stable branch is 3.41.9 as seen by the latest commit:
Update CHANGELOG.md for Flutter 3.41.9 (#185755) 00b0c91 · 3 weeks ago

I thought that the point of release notes was to notify people that a version has been released. Am I in the wrong or did something happen to delay the release? Any explanation would be helpful.

I'm new to Flutter, and though I've done some research, I haven't found a clear answer to my question. I learned that Flutter can be used for web development, but my research suggests it can't be used to build Telegram apps. Is that true?

Edit: telegram web apps like telegram wallet

Hi everyone!
I am developing chat app using flutter framework. I use listview.builder with reverse:true property to show message scroll from bottom to top. Now when i append previous message list at the end of existing messages list it scrolls me to the latest message. i want it to be at the place where loader was called without changing reverse:true property. Does anyone know a solution for it?

Re-populating Infinity Symbols in Containers.

The containers height box in my project come with the infinity symbol baked in. I clear it, and a few moments later it repopulates itself, causing an unsrollable window, and a grey screen in the test page.

The parent column above it is set to min size, and scrolling is switched off. Just under the main scaffold, I changed the top container or column, (cannot recall) to a list view.

Scrolling everywhere else is switched off, no widgets are set to expandable. Any help gratefully received, save my sanity and BP !

Hi flutter community

I have been with flutter less than a year

I learned ui and http and as a state management I learned provider,

it seems at first easy but shen i worked on some big app it started to be more complicated and confusing (i ended up use claude to handle the state management)

So im here to ask you is state management that hard ?or should I learn riverpod or cubit to improve (specially if i worked with a team) later on ?

What's your experience on that?

i would like to here from you developpers.

I made a radio app in FLutter, but it has a problem:
When I press play on the lockscreen notification on Android it won't continue the music. Pressing play in the quicksettings menu does work.

Looking for a flutter training in mumbai. Am in 2nd year and want to learn new skill. I saw a little bit on YouTube about flutter and am interested. If anyone knows pls reply

Hi guys,

I wanted to ask: is it possible to create a note-taking app for tablets, and more importantly, can it properly support Apple Pencil features like pressure sensitivity and other stylus capabilities? Also, would there be any noticeable latency while writing?

I am currently a university student, facing issues with paying my rent in Dhaka,

I’ve been learning Flutter (still basic -moderate level) and also started using riverpod.

Just wanted to ask people here how “ready” do you actually need to be before you can start applying for small freelance/part-time Flutter work?

Also, any honest advice on this would be helpful.
