First time building app using Flutter(dart)

Experience of my first time using flutter and try to develop apps.

First time building app using Flutter(dart)

Since the last week a lot has happened, i had gotten hands on Claude code, BTW not bought by me but i was given access for some time. So, i wondered if i try to make something that has not been done before by me.

So i started the work. TBH app dev was the easy part but the dev environment setup was the most excruciating part. it took me soo long to setup it.

it was bad as it had a lot of steps to be covered and each had their own sets of error. i.e.

  1. installing flutter SDK.
  2. setting up android studio.
  3. install necessary SDK compoents in android studio.
  4. accept the license.
  5. then verify if everything is working using this command "flutter doctor" in the terminal.
  6. using device manager on android studio, setup a virtual device.
  7. initiate the project, develop accordingly and then run "flutter analyze".\
  8. if error is caught fix it, else run "flutter run", usually it auto choose the virtual device.

this was the whole process i was going through and i had problems with each one of them. Now current i am trying to vibe code a open source gym exercise tracker. its based on my needs, so dont expect much pls.

TL;DR: started making a dart app, using vibecoding but this blog post doesnot used vibe coding, give it a like and a share.
