#TIL: You can combine two #Git repos into one and preserve all commit history.

Didn't come to my mind before😅

It's been a while since I genuinely enjoyed working on something as much as I enjoy diving into mobile security and ensuring PCI compliance.

#MobileSecurity #PCICompliance #FlutterDev

Does using Shorebird for OTA updates affect PCI compliance? Hi everyone, We’re using Shorebird in our Flutter app to push over-the-air (OTA) updates to production without going through the app stores. The app doesn’t directly handle payments, but some modules...

#TIL

If you use --dart-define in a Flutter iOS build, the values are stored in Info.plist as a Base64 string, meaning anyone with the .ipa can decode and access them.

Something to keep in mind before adding anything sensitive there.

Before you launch, try estimating how many tokens your prompts typically use so you can plan ahead and avoid unexpected limits.

It’s also crucial to understand how AI tokens are calculated.
They’re not exactly characters or words, but chunks of text (called tokens) based on how the model breaks down language.

On Firebase, for example, there are three key limits: requests per minute, requests per month, and tokens per minute.

If your project uses an AI model, it’s important to understand how your usage is measured.

I really need to start enjoying UI design more than I currently do 😅

Is it a bad idea to publish the first version of your app without authentication or a cloud database?

Just saving everything locally — even if some features require internet?

I’m thinking it might be fine for v1, but not sure... 🤔
What would you do?

Love this beautiful package 🫶🏾

🚀 Just wrapped most of the feedback from internal testers!

The next TestFlight build will include the rest. Trying not to fall into the "it must be perfect" trap.

How do you fight perfectionism when building?

Turns out this is a known false positive in some static security scanners.

Even if the app is secure, the tools might flag encryption usage based on patterns rather than actual risk.

#TIL #flutter #security #flutterdev #falsepositive

Security false positives Security vulnerabilities incorrectly reported by automated static analysis tools

But I could not rule out the possibility that a third-party package might be using it.

While investigating, I found that the official Flutter documentation addresses this exact situation:

🔗 docs.flutter.dev/reference/se...

#TIL #flutter #security #flutterdev #falsepositive

#TIL: Security False Positive

The security team sent a report warning about "weak encryption AES/CBC/PKCS5 or PKCS7" in my Flutter app.

I was confident I did not use that encryption method, but –

The book’s been on my nightstand for weeks.
I thought I had chapters left.
Turned out… just two pages.
Procrastination is wild.

Just dropped the beta of my AI CV Builder to a few friends, and the feedback is 🔥

Didn’t expect this much excitement so early 😍

Can’t wait to make it even better!

#buildinpublic #flutterdev #indiedev

Took a break after a 643-day streak—starting a new language today! 😅

#LanguageLearning #Duolingo

I faced the same thing when deleting iOS simulator cache files (found it completely by accident 😅).

Another day, another pull request opened to an open-source repo

#OSS

Both Apple & Google dev accounts are set!
Almost ready to launch.
(Just a bit more Google paperwork though 😅)

Just finished designing the app icon for my AI CV builder app!
Loving how it turned out 🔥😍
More coming soon...

This looks awesome! Curious, do you handle all the UI/UX design yourself for your side projects, or do you ever bring in a designer? Also, what’s your general approach to UI/UX when working solo?

Yeah, that’s why I’m still shifting between both. X definitely has more engagement, but I still prefer it here. Just wish the feed felt a bit more alive

Totally agree but it still feels pretty quiet around here. Hoping more of the community finds its way back soon.

App design ✅
It’s now polished enough to ship a beta.

My side project just reminded me again how important refactor timing is. Knowing when to refactor can save you from a world of bugs later.
