It is based on a material design with with user interface elements including a nav bar, snack bars, list views, bottom sheets, extended floating action buttons, a simple search from the app bar, automatic dark and light appearance based on phone settings. It is sophisticated and rich.
It took less than 30 days in elapsed time and several releases and messages back and fore with Apple App Review from when I first submitted it to Apple to get it through App Review. RevenueCat was quite a learning curve of moving parts in the app, in the stores, in RevenueCat itself and with test scenarios. But finally Apple approved it for sale after extensive sandbox testing and I was able to push the identical build to production on Google Play.
This started as very much my kitchen sink app to check out and get to know some best practices so that I can speak from experience beyond my existing client work product managing a team using Flutter to build hundreds of client apps.
The app code is stored in GitHub and built from there for the app store and google play. This is not quite automatic yet but getting close!
This app is super niche, and I was fortunate to have a group of about 30 testers passionate about it. But it is also a proof of capability to show how a living working example of how many of the technologies in Flutter can be put to use for a community or organisation to deliver identical functionality for iOS and Android while respecting platform differences between the two major phone operating systems.
928uk® is published in the App Store and Google Play.
