Hey there. I just released a plugin that helps you spawn an isolate in an Android Foreground Service. The isolate stays alive even if the main activity is killed. You can easily communicate with and reconnect to the isolate using my isolate_channel package.

I've only ever built Android/Web apps with Flutter, but I had a request to get one of my apps working on iPhone. I knew I wasn't going to have fun before I started, and I wasn't wrong. But I managed to get an Apple Developer Account, jump through the hoops for adhoc distribution profile and certificates, built an account at Codemagic and succeeded to get build to work, managed to downgrade Flutter until I could get an iOS 12.0 build to install on an iPhone6, but now it fails when it loads and I have no clue how to troubleshoot this.

If it were android, I'd have it hooked up to my dev station and run debug version to monitor, but this inscrutable chunk of plastic and glass doesn't seem to work that way. I don't have a Mac box to dev on, so I'm left with running CI builds that I pull down via Diawi to the device, but it's a black box from there.

Is there a way to do anything useful on a Linux dev station with these things?

God, if Google's "developer registration" is anything like this nightmare, I'm going to work on helping dev a Linux phone fulltime.

Hello again! I have finally deployed a version of the Hive documentation site updated to reflect all the changes in Hive CE. This should serve as a single source of truth for the best practices when using Hive CE, as well as a more accessible getting started guide for developers unfamiliar with the original Hive package.

Please have a look and let me know what you think!

After many months of work, it is finally here! You can now use the Hive CE Inspector DevTools extension to quickly view the contents of any Hive box open in your application with live updates.

See a video of the inspector in action here: https://github.com/IO-Design-Team/hive_ce/issues/52#issuecomment-3300976432

The inspector builds upon previous work by automatically reading the Hive schema (hive_adapters.g.yaml) from your project and using it to deserialize raw box data into a human-readable format. This does mean, however, that your project must be using the GenerateAdapters annotation to generate type adapters. Data created by HiveType annotations and custom adapters will only be viewable as raw binary data.

Please try it out and let me know your thoughts!

I made a notes app to fit my own needs on #Linux. I used @flutter . If people would be willing to play around with it a little and give feedback, that would be great!

🧩 Exploring dynamic vector image coloring in Flutter?

Part 2 of my ImageColorSwitcher series @Medium article delves into SVG handling using the flutter_svg package, demonstrating how to apply color filters and handle interactive coloring.

If you're building themeable UIs or visual editors, this might be for you.

🖼️ Want to build dynamic color filters for images in Flutter?

In this @Medium article, I walk through raster image color manipulation using ColorFiltered, BlendMode, and custom sliders — all explained with visuals and Flutter-native logic.

Perfect for devs building interactive image apps or theme switchers.
