Setup instructions

Prerequisites

Installations

  1. Install Flutter by following instructions from flutter.dev. To summarise:
    • Select the appropriate operating system
    • Download the flutter sdk to a preferred location on your local system.
  2. Fork and clone the soochit repository repository to your local machine.
  3. Make sure to install the Flutter and Dart plugins.
    • If Soochir is the first project that you will be viewing in Android Studio then:
      • Start Android Studio
      • Open Plugin Preferences
      • Browse repositories and search for flutter
      • Install and click yes to install Dart as well if prompted.
    • Flutter and dart can also be installed after opening a project.
      • Go to File menu -> Settings -> plugins
      • Search for the plugin. In this case it would be Flutter and Dart. Install them if not done yet and click Apply.

Local Development Setup

This section will help you set up the project locally on your system.

  1. Open the project on your IDE.
  2. Run pub get on project level terminal to install all the required dependencies.
  3. Ensure that the Flutter SDK is provided the correct path. Open File menu -> Settings -> Languages & Frameworks -> Flutter
  4. In order to run a flutter project, either a virtual device needs to be setup or a physical device can be used. Remember to enable Debugging in Developer Options in the physical device.
  5. Connect your physical device or setup the virtual device before you run the application. Ensure that the device is visible on top menu.

Firebase Configurations

Follow the official firebase documentation to connect firebase to the app locally. The following information, however, is required to set it up successfully.

  • Name the firebase project Soochit.
  • Before adding apps, go to Authentication under Develop, and click on the Set up sign-in method button. Enable Phone sign-in provider.
  • Android package name: com.example.soochit
  • Be sure to enter your SHA key so that authentication can work properly.

Refer to the Flutter online documentation, which offers tutorials, samples, guidance on mobile development, and a full API reference.
