I built a Flutter job app for both Android and iOS
I've built a Flutter app. With not much prior experience (my first big development project), I somehow managed to pull this off. The whole process took about 5 months, mainly coding on weekends and late nights. The app is built upon SwissDevJobs' API and is available on both mobile platforms. The entire deployment process went smoothly. I had heard many horror stories about the App Store and its strict review procedure, but my app was accepted on the first try, so I guess there's nothing to be afraid of :) Here are some "technical" details and my observations: It wouldn't have been possible…
In plain words
This is a Flutter job search application available on Android and iOS that pulls listings from SwissDevJobs' API. Built as a first major development project over five months of part-time work, the app successfully launched on both platforms including approval through the App Store on the first submission. The developer relied heavily on the Flutter community and third-party packages to implement features and handle state management.

In the maker’s words, at launch
I've built a Flutter app. With not much prior experience (my first big development project), I somehow managed to pull this off. The whole process took about 5 months, mainly coding on weekends and late nights. The app is built upon SwissDevJobs' API and is available on both mobile platforms. The entire deployment process went smoothly. I had heard many horror stories about the App Store and its strict review procedure, but my app was accepted on the first try, so I guess there's nothing to be afraid of :) Here are some "technical" details and my observations: It wouldn't have been possible to build this without the support of the entire Flutter community and third-party packages. Many essential functionalities are missing in the framework itself. Otherwise, you'd find yourself delving into the dark void of native code. State management is pretty much non-existent, so you need to rely on external solutions - for me, it was Provider. Many people might initially be thrown off by the way Flutter uses endless nested widget trees. Trust me, after a few days, you'll fall in love with this approach. It's intuitive and pleasant to work with. Dart is one of the best languages out there. I've tried many of them, perhaps too many, and Dart easily ranks as one of my all-time favorites. It's clean, intuitive, and I hope it will gain more popularity beyond just being used in Flutter. Check it out, and please share your thoughts. Happy to hear all feedback, so don't hold back. Any criticism is more than welcome, a man must learn somewhere :) Android version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.swissdevjobs.swissdevjobsAPP iPhone version: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/swissdevjobs/id6467407240
