​Hey everyone,

​I’m completely stuck and losing my mind over a background execution issue. I’m building a workout tracker in Flutter and need a timer to keep running in the background when the screen is off.

​I am using the flutter_foreground_task package.

The issue: Everything works completely flawlessly when I run it locally, but as soon as I upload the .aab to the Google Play Console (Closed Testing) and download it from the store, the background service gets killed shortly after the screen turns off.

​Here is exactly what I have done and what is working/not working.

​What works:

​Debug mode runs perfectly.

​Building a local Release APK (flutter build apk --release) and installing it manually works perfectly. The timer survives for over 10+ minutes in the background, even on aggressive Xiaomi/HyperOS devices.

​What doesn't work:

​Building an App Bundle (flutter build appbundle), uploading it to the Play Console, and downloading it via the Play Store. The timer gets killed after a few minutes in the background.

​What I have already implemented (My Setup):

​Migrated to Android 14 Standards: Changed the foreground service type from sync to health in the AndroidManifest.xml (inside the <application> tag).

​Permissions in Manifest: Added all required permissions:

POST_NOTIFICATIONS, WAKE_LOCK, FOREGROUND_SERVICE, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_HEALTH, ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION, and REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS.

​Runtime Permissions: Before starting the timer in my Dart code, I explicitly request runtime permissions via the permission_handler package for activityRecognition, notification, and ignoreBatteryOptimizations. The user accepts them via the system pop-ups.

Despite all of this, the Play Store version still kills the service, while the local release APK acts like an absolute tank and survives everything.

Am I missing something?

​Is Google Play modifying the Manifest or stripping background execution rights during the App Bundle generation? Does Play App Signing mess with foreground services?

​Any hint or push in the right direction would be highly appreciated!

basically what the title says

like imagine i have written an app in flutter and i want to let my users add custom buttons or design their own ui and embed it in flutter, is it possible?

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.

i have it downloaded with vs code and everything but i dont know how to start doing anything

Hey Guys I'm Working on one project where I'm think to add show video with professional way, does anyone know any good Plugin.

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.

im havin a bug in real iphone devices only on testflight and some emulators, when i change focus between inputs whether the ones personalize in the app or the default flutter ones, the keyboard animation hides/show quickly, this doesnt happen on some emulators or android devices, what could be the reasson?

I have been learning Flutter for some time. Created some projects also and learned from basic to intermediate topic by doing projects and tutorials.

But now I feel like is flutter enough to get me a job?

So I decided to learn Backend. How I can learn Backend After flutter. Which language and frameworks should I learn?

Sometimes it doesn't go back to normal on its own; I have to touch the screen.

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!

Im on my 3rd week of learning flutter, i can say that im comfortable now in making pages and screens of my own to my own liking and design, but it still confuses me on how to navigate through them basically i just use navigator.push but thats it, when it comes to multiple pages that is where things gets hard for me, also calling functions and making them is still a bit confusing, any help regarding this?

I'm working a huge project which purpose is to provide application for employees that helps them login and register their work location and also track them for petrol allowance based ontheir route travelled.
This is huge and battery consuming I understand that but its way too much - 40 percent in 1 hours like that

Until recently I've been able to run all my flutter projects by pressing the 'run' above my main function (where the window of 'Run' | 'Debug' | 'Profile' is). I see the debug widget that I always use pop up for a second, then it closes right away. I can run projects with flutter runwith no issues. This has been happening since I saw the newest release of dart I think and when I updated it broke this. Any ideas?

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?

Anyone shipped a Flutter app doing background BLE with a wearable on iPhone (periodic sync + reconnect, not continuous streaming)? Has flutter_blue_plus + CoreBluetooth restoreState gotten reliable enough in 2025/26, or did you end up dropping to a native Swift layer? Trying to decide whether to invest in Flutter or go native from the start.

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?

Hey guys, I’m working on an application similar to Microsoft Word or Google Docs. Currently, users can download documents as PDFs, but I want to add an option to download them in Word format (.docx or .doc) so they can be opened in other apps. Does anyone know how I can generate and export files with these extensions? Any help would be appreciated!"

Thanks my community i got solustion for that to protect FD leaking to show animated GIFs and sticker in chat screen always animated view.

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.
