In this blog post, we will explore the process of building a back end using only Dart. With the numerous options available for achieving this, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed or unsure of where to begin. Thus, this post is primarily directed at Flutter developers who are considering Dart for their back end for its various benefits, which we will discuss later on.
It’s your first day at an exciting company, and everything’s going great. It’s time to familiarize yourself with the codebase. So you fork it from GitHub, and lo and behold, your warm smile is replaced with utter confusion. The codebase is filled with spaghetti code. Simply, it’s chaotic. We developers are often faced with scenarios like this.
The latest version of Xcode 14.3 requires you to update your Mac to run macOS Ventura 13.0 or later. At the time of writing this article, Codemagic is already equipped with the most recent Xcode 14.3 Beta 3 and macOS Ventura 13.2.1, ensuring you the latest developement environment!

Authentication is a crucial part of your application. Failing to handle your authentication flow with caution can create a lot of problems for your business.

One of the great features that made Unity popular is its ability to provide builds for multiple platforms out of the box. But there may be scenarios in which you would like Unity to comprise just a part of your application, while the rest is written with some other framework. A typical use case is using Unity’s functionality inside a Flutter application.
CLI stands for command-line interface, a text-based interface you can use to input commands and perform various operations. If you’ve ever used the dart or flutter commands in your console, you’ve used a CLI. Sometimes, though, you may end up writing a CLI of your own.
As a senior Flutter developer, a big part of my daily job consists of reviewing code, mentoring other developers, and helping them with their problems. One mistake that I noticed developers repeating on many occasions is misusing BuildContext. I analyzed why this happens and came to the conclusion that it is because of an incomplete understanding of what BuildContext is, how it works, and its scope and lifecycle.
Codemagic is now officially integrated with Runway, the DevOps platform for mobile. But wait, you might be wondering, isn’t Codemagic already that as a CI/CD for mobile? Aren’t the two services interchangeable? In fact, it’s quite the opposite — they’re powerfully complementary.
