I am working on a flutter app and using basic widgets like BottomNavigationBar, ListBuilder, intro_slider(additional plugin) etc. When I swipe through slides, click on tabs, open pages using Navigator.pushNamed the app is generating cache. Is this because I am launching the app in a development environment or this will be the same for the final build.
Trying to find a better way for cache management that will not create an unnecessary heap of cache in users devices.
Thanks

I want to create a hybrid mobile app using ionic capacitor. When user logs in the app should open the main angular app in a hidden webview to initialize the angular app. The webview should be hidden for this time. After this when a user clicks on any links in mobile app, it should open in the webview and this time the webview should be displayed. The webview should open in the app container and not in the browser window (like InApp browser). Please help me if anybody have explored this kind of solutions.
My existing app is built using Xamarin and its built on the above concept.
I have tried the InApp browser but it does not give a good impression to the end user expecting a complete mobile app.
What you want to do is more or less possible if I've understood you well. I've done it in my job. We have a ionic app, but then there are some native screens developed natively for Android (with Java) and iOS (with Swift). With ionic you can call native code from Javascript. For that you need to make your own local Capacitor plugin: https://capacitorjs.com/docs/plugins/creating-plugins
In a plugin, the ionic Javascript function will trigger a native function (Java/Kotlin for Android - Swift/ObjectiveC for iOS). Once there, you can freely create native screens (Android = Activity, iOS = Storyboard/Controller) and then launch your native screens in the app. In our project most of the app is ionic, but we developed our own native screens such as a PDF Viewer, a Web browser, a QR scanner, etc.
But an app is not like a website, an app is a stack of screens. Which means that everytime you access a new screen, it's added to the top of the stack and the user can go back to the previous one. So, ionic will launch first. Inmediately after starting the app (or whenever you want) you can move the user to a native (android/ios) screen. However, if the user presses the native android back button, he will come back to ionic. If you want to prevent that, you need to code that behavior yourself (google android prevent back button). Likewise, you "can't" make the user go from the native screen to ionic, you can bring him back to ionic by navigating back programmatically.
Perhaps you can also change the launch activity to use a different one, and then later launch the ionic activity with native code. But I haven't done this myself and it could break ionic, so I can't advice you through this path.
I hope my answer helps, but I'm not sure I understood what you want to accomplish.
am working on a time management app project in flutter I want the app to detect the apps installed on the user device and reveal them on the screen automatically, is there any way to do the front-end part of the work and how?
I have just build a flutter web app - when running it in a safari browser I can see it has blocked one tracker UNPKG
Do you know why? I have not added any tracker my self. To recreate this, just create a standard flutter app: flutter create and build it to release for web.
Could it be some local to the app itself, loading some content?
Flutter downloads some fonts and CanvasKit on launch. It's the same reason sometimes you'll load the app and nothing will show until you refresh and the same reason Amazon's logo seems to vanish. The difference being Amazon is hosting their own stuff and if you're like me you don't want to rely on everyone and their brother to print hello world. The solution's here if you haven't already googled it: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/70101
I have a flutter mobile app and i would like to be able to download dart code into the app and execute it. The downloaded code is fully trusted i.e. it comes from API calls to the mobile apps backend. There are two cases.
Non UI downloaded code: This is downloaded dart code that can interact with the network and and do some data structure transformations. It might also want to interact with the SQLLite database used by the app.
UI code: code that can interact with specific widgets on the screen or draw new widgets?
Can the above two dynamic code execution be done in a production flutter app that has been complied to native code?
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!
