Flutter is an incredible toolkit that lets you build iOS and Android apps from a single codebase. The official documentation does a great job covering a lot of the basics. These basics can get you pretty far, even let you create apps ready for publishing on the app stores. But to take your apps to the next level, it helps to see lots of real-world examples.In this book, you'll learn how to build professional iOS and Android apps for the real world. You'll gain all the foundations of mobile development you need to make the best decisions in your own codebase while addressing critical problems such as state management, user authentication and dynamic theming.This book is for Flutter developers looking to go from "I know Flutter" to "I can confidently create professional Flutter apps".Topics Covered in this bookRepository Pattern: Get your data layer under control with the repository pattern, how to properly handle exceptions, write clean mappers, support caching, different fetch policies etcManaging State With Cubits & the Bloc Library: Understand what state management is all about and why Blocs and Cubits are the best tools for the job.Validating Forms With Cubits: Master Cubits before moving on to actual Blocs in the next chapter. Learn how to combine the bloc library with Formz to achieve first-class form validation in Flutter.Authenticating Users: Learn what user authentication is, how it works and how to best architect your application to support it.Internationalizing & Localizing: Learn how to make your app accessible to other languages.Creating Your Own Widget Catalog: Learn about the need for a component library and storybook. Add platform-specific files to a package, make it runnable as a standalone app and use it to showcase widgets in that package.Supporting the Development Lifecycle With Firebase: Learn about monitoring app lifecycle with the help of Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics.Running Live Experiments With A/B Testing: Learn to test different app features and variations with Firebase Remote Config and Firebase A/B Testing tools.

Learn about Debugging Android AppsThe debugging process is one of the main parts of app development. If you want your app to become a high-quality product, you'll need to take care of any noticeable issues. But, sometimes it's challenging to find the source of the issue, or you don't have enough information to solve it. In most cases, the official documentation isn't really helpful because every app is unique.Android Debugging is here to help you find a solution faster and easier by introducing you to Android debugging tools.Who This Book is ForThis book is for intermediate Android developers who already know the basics of Android development and Kotlin but want to learn about debugging steps and Android Studio debugging tools.Topics Covered in Android DebuggingAndroid Debug Bridge: Learn how to connect the debugger with your Android device.Breakpoints and Code Evaluation: Find out how to pause a running app in a specific place and inspect the code.Reading stack traces: Learn where to look for more details about app crashes.Debugging databases and background tasks: Deal with database bugs and issues on background threads.CPU activity and memory usage: Specialize in observing CPU timelines and memory management.Network activity and Energy Profiler: Learn to clone API calls for debugging purposes and handle battery draining efficiently.One thing you can count on: after reading this book, you'll be prepared to detect issues, find out more information about the issue culprit and successfully fix it. You'll solve issues faster than before and save more time for developing new features.

Build Beautiful Apps With Jetpack ComposeJetpack Compose is hyping up everyone in the Android UI toolkit world. This completely new and modern solution to building declarative user interfaces provides more opportunity than ever to create beautiful, reactive and animated apps.However, because of its new status, Jetpack Compose is lacking one of the most important pieces of successful software: detailed documentation.

Learn About Dependency Injection with Dagger!Dependency injection is an important technique for building software systems that are maintainable and testable. You're likely already doing dependency injection, maybe without even realizing it. Dependency injection is nowhere near as complex as its name implies.This book will guide you through with Dagger, Google's framework for Java, Kotlin, and Android. Dagger will help you solve many of the development and performance issues that have plagued reflection-based solutions.Who This Book is ForThis book is for intermediate Kotlin or Android developers who want to know how to implement the dependency injection pattern with Dagger and Hilt libraries.Topics Covered in Dagger by TutorialsDependency Injection (DI): Learn what dependencies are and why you need to control them to create successful apps.Dagger: Learn what Dagger is, how it works, and how it slashes the amount of code you need to write by hand when you implement dependency injection in your app.Injection types: Learn how to deal with constructor, field and method injection with Dagger.Advanced Dagger: Dive deeper into the advanced features of Dagger like multi binding.Hilt: Learn everything you need to know about Hilt to implement dependency injection in the Android app. Learn how Hilt reduces the boilerplate of doing manual dependency injection in your project.One thing you can count on: after reading this book, you'll be prepared to use dependency injection with Dagger in your personal and production level projects.
