Cancer Referral App

Image
I created an app, very basic and first one on Flutter. I hope to develop more slick versions but it was said to just get your first one out so you know the process of creating, uploading and publishing an app to the App stores. I have only published it to the Google Play store as I don't plan on paying £99 a year just for the privilage of uploading to the Apple App store but if I do create another app, I likely will.

I recently published my first Flutter app, and one of the hard parts as a newbie was signing and  creating the app bundle from Android studio.

The way I fixed it was to download the new...

Flutter Introduction - Part 1

Part of creating this website was to document my forage into making an app, and publishing it to the Android Play store or Apple App Store. I have never programmed and know no coding language. The idea came from a random youtube video, where it was talking about programming, and it talked about Flutter, the new coding language from Google. It supports cross platform meaning I can code it once and it should work on both Android, Apple and even Windows.
