Still not merged yet, but it’s in progress.
Let’s see where this leads us.

Remember the Secure Enclave and #Flutter security post?

I’ve submitted a Pull Request to 𝙛𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧_𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙚_𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙚 adding Secure Enclave support for iOS:

Saved data on iOS is not secure · Issue #917 · juliansteenbakker/flutter_secure_storage Recently, one of the apps I've been working on underwent a penetration testing review. The pentest discovered (with demonstrated proof) that local storage data on iOS devices can be accessed in pla...

The right solution is to use the Secure Enclave for key wrapping and only store the wrapped blob in the keychain.

There’s already an open issue about this: github.com/juliansteenb...

#TIL about Secure Enclave and #Flutter security.

If you store sensitive data with #flutter_secure_storage, anyone running your app on a jailbroken hashtag#iOS device can easily extract your keys in plaintext.

How do you find good issues to work on in Flutter OSS? 🤔

#FlutterDev #OSS

I get the issue from the good first issue flag that wasn’t even assigned.
After I sent the PR, many people suddenly commented wanting to take it, luckily I was just ahead.

The hardest part of contributing to @flutter.dev wasn’t the coding,it was finding the right issue.
Most issues are either taken, or get fixed before you finish.

Regardless of whether we call it MVVM, MVN, or something else, the #Flutter team’s architecture guidance explains each layer’s role really well.

It’s simple, easy to follow, and exactly the kind of clarity you’d expect from Flutter’s docs.

Scheduling posts is such an underrated feature. I love it.

Maybe I’m this close 🤏🏾 to getting my first PR merged into the #FlutterDev repo.

Pushing yourself out of your comfort zone isn’t easy, especially when you’re in a place where you’re respected and loved.
But growth demands it, and new lessons only come when you step beyond comfort.

I picked a “good first issue” to get started and submitted my first PR to Flutter, which already got an initial approval (hopefully it gets merged too 😅).

It’s a small change, but I still learned a lot along the way, and I’m excited to contribute more 😄

Besides that, should I comment on the issue to “claim” it before submitting the PR? It’s not assigned to anyone and no PR is linked

Just picked a good first issue from the Flutter repo and submitted a PR.

How long does it usually take to get a response? (Even more curious since the issue was opened by someone from the Flutter team 👀)

You don’t need to open Xcode or the Console app to view native iOS logs when running a Flutter app.

Just use NSLog() in your Swift code and run this terminal command to filter logs by keyword.
