Flutter Setup

1. To install Flutter, visit this website and follow the platform-specific instructions.
2. Download Android Studio.
3. After installing, open Android Studio and select More Action or the three dots in the top corner. Then select SDK Manager → Android SDK / Sdk Tools. Click Android SDK Command-line Tools (latest) and then apply. It will start downloading the tool.

After download is completed, go to Android Studio plugins section and install Dart & Flutter plugins.

Now run this command in your terminal: flutter doctor

You might need to run flutter doctor --android-licenses if this is your first Flutter installation.

An ideal output will be something like this (marked sections must have a checkmark):

Change Base URL

Use your admin URL as the base URL. First, you have to install your admin panel. For example, if your admin URL is https://your_domain.com/admin, then the base URL will be https://your_domain.com (without the /admin). Add it at the end, so the final URL will be https://your_domain.com.

Open [project]/lib/_core/strings/endpoints.dart and replace the baseUrl value with your own URL.

App Appearance

Change App Logo

1. Place your logo in the [PROJECT]/assets/icon/ folder.
2. The logo name should be app_logo.png.
3. Run dart run flutter_launcher_icons in the terminal.

Change App Name

1. Activate rename by running flutter pub global activate rename.
2. Change the app name by running:

   rename setAppName --targets ios,android --value "Your App Name"

3. Change the app Bundle/Package ID by running:

   rename setBundleId --targets ios,android --value "com.example.bundleId"

Firebase Config

Create Firebase Project and App

1. Go to the Firebase console and create a project.
2. From the Project overview, select the Flutter app.

1. Install Firebase CLI. You might need to restart the terminal after installation.

1. To log in to your Firebase account from the terminal, run: firebase login.
2. Install FlutterFire CLI:
   1. Run dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli.
   2. Run flutterfire configure --project=your_project_name.

This will create the following files:

• firebase_options.dart file in the lib directory.
• google_services.json file in the android/app directory.
• GoogleService-Info.plist file in the ios/Runner directory.

Enabling Firebase in Your Project

To enable Firebase integration in your project, follow these steps:

• Navigate to lib/main.dart.
• Locate the following line of code:
  ///* To enable FIREBASE, change the value to true;
• By default, the line

  FireMessage.isFireActive = false;

  indicates that Firebase is not active. Once you have configured Firebase from the Firebase Console, set the value to true like so:

  FireMessage.isFireActive = true;

Create an Upload Keystore

To create a keystore, run the following command at the command line:

On macOS or Linux, use the following command:

keytool -genkey -v -keystore ~/upload-keystore.jks -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 -alias upload

On Windows, use the following command in PowerShell:

keytool -genkey -v -keystore $env:USERPROFILE\upload-keystore.jks -storetype JKS -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 -alias upload

This command stores the upload-keystore.jks file in your home directory.

1. Move the upload-keystore.jks file to [project]/android/app/ folder for easy management.
2. Edit the key.properties file in [project]/android/ and update the storePassword and keyPassword values:

				        		
				        			storePassword=YOUR_PASSWORD
									keyPassword=YOUR_PASSWORD
									keyAlias=upload
									storeFile=upload-keystore.jks
								
							

1. Run flutter clean && flutter pub get in the terminal.
