Hand Off a FlutterFlow App to a Developer: What to Prepare
Your FlutterFlow app is on TestFlight, maybe live in the stores, and real people use it. You've found a developer to take it further, and their first message is: "Can you share the code and give me access?" On mobile, that one request covers six or seven things: the FlutterFlow project, a GitHub repo, a Firebase or Supabase backend, Apple and Google developer accounts, push-notification keys and…
When handing over a FlutterFlow app to a developer, it's crucial to prepare the necessary resources and access. The process involves exporting the FlutterFlow project, connecting to the GitHub repository, managing Firebase or Supabase backends, obtaining Apple and Google developer accounts, and gathering all third-party API keys.
Developers need access to the FlutterFlow project, the GitHub repo, Firebase or Supabase backend, Apple and Google developer accounts, push-notification keys, and all third-party API keys. If these are not shared properly, the developer may have to redo the entire setup or even lose access to critical components.
FlutterFlow provides real code, unlike most other no-code tools. To export the code, you can download it starting from the Basic plan, and push it to GitHub on the Growth plan. Unlike other mobile no-code tools like Adalo, Glide, and Bubble, FlutterFlow allows you to export the code and carry on with the project after the handoff.
Before handing over the app, ensure you have the necessary access and keys. Do a 10-minute export self-check to verify that you can click 'Download Code' in the FlutterFlow Developer Menu, connect to GitHub, access Firebase or Supabase, confirm ownership of App Store Connect and Play Console, locate the .p8 push key, list custom code, and manage access roles. This will ensure a smooth handoff process and prevent any potential issues down the line.
