I want to create a project that tracks the user's location when the app is closed or the app is running and then sends user data to Firebase. I chose Flutter to create this project. I'm new in flutter. How to I develop this application? Help me with some advice or related guidelines so I can develop this application.
Use Flutter google maps.
Enable google maps API in google cloud console for your platform(s), Android, iOS if you want web.
Install your location dependency.
Update your database with the new coords when they change.
Build your map widget on your 2nd party's device, as per the documentation, 7. which is crystal clear,and put it in a streambuilder.
Update this map with the new coords.
You get a location tracking system.

Google has updated its UI for Google Play Store. I was able to get the app version from a simple request/response for an app with the old UI.
My app is written with Flutter & Dart.
How to detect the app version in Google play? is there any way to fix it.
I got this from Google play via email: If you would like to fetch these details from an API, you may review our Google Play Developer API setup documentation to enable our Publishing API methods. You may refer to edits.tracks method in order to fetch the release versions of all your active tracks.

I have a mobile application developed using Ionic. Now I want to redevelop it in flutter and publish a new update, would that be possible? will google play and AppStore allow that?
There is no constraint on development language. But,
You need to use same certificates/keys for iOS App
You need to use same key-store/keys for Android App
If you are using local database or file storage, then you should follow the same path in your newly created app as well. If you are using any third-party library to manage the db or file paths, then it may be in different location altogether. (This one actually happened to me. When I migrated my app from a cross-platform framework to Native the database path got changed in release version)
I have a flutter chat app. Companies like Whatsapp & Facebook update their app without forcing users to uninstall or manually uploading the APK again to google play. Is this possible with futter i tried using firebase remote config but it didn't work as i expected ( Changing UI on the go ). Any answer will be appreciated.
WhatsApp and Facebook use React Native with CodePush (if I'm not wrong).
You can't update an app without forcing a user somehow to update the app from a store with Flutter as it compiles to binary and React Native – not
There are multiple things you can do and it is based on what you want to achieve. [From your question your goal is not clear.]
Change Something based on configuration.
If you have configurations defined then you can use Firebase remote config to pass on value to devices and devices should behave according to value that you have set on Firebase Remote config.
Limitation of this approach:
In this approach, don't expect your newly updated code will into existing app. Above approach works, if code is already there in the compiled binary and you just want to switch path.
Binary version update:
If you want to force new app version download then it would require a different approach,
Android: Yes it is possible.
iOS: In-App update is not possible. You can show prompt to user by saying that new version is available and redirect user to new version on Store.
If user has enabled auto-download in iPhone settings then there are chances that app version updated to new version when user come to app.
For implementation look at here: Binary version update
Flutter now has unofficial support for code push using Chimera Flutter Code Push.

What is the best option to get google analytics data in a flutter app?
I'm a new beginner in app development.
My app should show some analytics data and some graphics (I'll use a chart library).
What is the easiest way to get google analytics data?
Using flutter to launch other applications on both the platform (Android/iOS). I know we can use url_laucher to launch applications like Gmail or Google map.
Can it also be used for launching my own application?
If "YES", is it possible to get some data back from my other application to flutter application?
If "NO" then is there any other way to do this. My goal is to get the data (like a simple string) back from my other app.
NOTE: Constraint is that I have to use flutter Widgets or packages and not touch the native directories.
Yes, you can use url_launcher to launch your own application provided your application has appropriate url schemes defined.
No, you cannot get back any data by launching an application with url_launcher
Is there a way to achieve this only using flutter widgets and existing plugins?
Yes, only on android. There seems to be a flutter_share plugin that allows you to share data to other apps and receive data shared by other apps.
Hope that helps!
