[Docs] Update the flutter quickstart guide - #5091
Conversation

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe Flutter quickstart guides now document Android and iOS platform setup, Dev Mode attestation, SDK initialization, application ID configuration, and Android emulator access to local instances. ChangesFlutter quickstart platform setup
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The Flutter quickstart currently presents Android local sign-in steps without explaining that self-signed HTTPS certificates still block the flow. This can cause users to fail setup; merge should wait until the limitation and workaround or SDK dependency are documented. Possibly related PRs

Document the Android TLS limitation.
adb reverse maps the port only. It does not make Android trust the local instance's self-signed HTTPS certificate. The PR objective confirms that local Android access still fails until the SDK exposes allowInsecureConnections.
State this limitation after the adb reverse command. Do not present these steps as sufficient for Android local sign-in. Document a trusted certificate as the required workaround, or state that users must wait for SDK support.

Purpose
The Flutter quickstart could not be completed as written. This adds the platform configuration the plugin needs and updates the quickstart steps.
Approach
Added a Configure the Platforms step with the configuration the plugin needs: the JitPack repository,
minSdk = 26, disabling Swift Package Manager beforeflutter pub getsoios/Podfileis generated, and theThunderIDGit pod.Added the Dev Mode step required for app-native sign-in, the missing
root_screen.dartimport andapplicationIdconstant, and a note on reaching a local instance from an emulator.Reaching a local instance from Android still fails on the self-signed certificate, which needs to be fixed in the SDK by exposing allowInsecureConnections as the native Android SDK already does.
