Which package to use to consume a REST API: Dio or Chopper?
I'm implementing a quite complex mobile application in Flutter thus I need to make a good decision here before going on and implementing the consumers of the API. I also saw Retrofit, no changes were made since 2 months thus I will not consider it for the moment. My time is limited thus I do not want to spend time forking and adding implementation myself.I wrote code using both Dio and Chopper. In the architecture I implemented in my project, a simple authentication(refresh token) request is implemented the following manner with Dio:

Future<Response> grantPasswordAuth(PasswordAuthRequest passwordAuthObject) { ApiUri apiUri = new ApiUri(PATH); // create path apiUri.addQueryParam('grant_type', 'password'); // add query params return post(apiUri, data: passwordAuthObject.toJson()); // call superclass method to POST } 

In Chopper on the other hand a simple request is implemented the following manner:

 @Post(headers: const { 'content-type': 'appliation/x-www-form-urlencoded', }, path: 'token') Future<Response> grantPasswordAuth(@Body() LoginUser loginUser); 

As you can see, regarding code length they are approximately the same.On the other hand, the differences I have come up with are:Chopper creates an extra file which increases the size of the project and its package structure complexity.Dio is more mature(the above code in Chopper using 'content-type': 'appliation/x-www-form-urlencoded' created many problems to me. Dio seems to not have any complexities that come unexpected.Dio is better maintained and has more functionalities.​Should I go for Dio since the problem that Chopper solves(which is generating biolerplate code) I have solved myself in Dio(the code for a POST request is very short and biolerplate code is avoided as you can see)? Looking forward to opinions of developers who have used both or have used one of them extensively and could tell me what kind of disadvantages are there that I can find out before starting to implement.

When to shut down the Dio client in Flutter's Dio package?
Dio has a method void close() which shuts down the Dio client when called. The question I have is: when should I call this method?The options obvious to me are:Call it after every "transaction of requests" is processed(most of the cases it would be calling it after every request I make in the REST API since most of the transactions are composed of a single request.)Never call it and leave the Dio client open all the time?Would the second option become a problem because of leaving the connection open all the time?Would the first option create considerable performance problems regarding the speed the requests are processed?

I published my 2nd Flutter app and AppStore just approved it!
Hi guys.First of all, flutter has changed my life. I enjoy developing again. I even convinced managers at my day job to switch to Flutter. Every new project is created in Flutter. So I am helping the adoption as much as I can.Wanted to share another milestone for me. Been working on it for last 6 months in the evenings.
It's called Timecap. This app tracks time in a goal/limit based way. I like to consider it a ScreenTime for your life.Any feedback is appreciated.

Is Flutter safe for new Apple rules effective April 2020?
> Apps should look great on all models of iPhone and iPad, regardless of display size or aspect ratio. With features like Xcode storyboards and Auto Layout, your app’s interface elements and layouts automatically fit the display. As announced at WWDC19, starting April 2020, apps submitted to the App Store must use an Xcode storyboard to provide the app’s launch screen and must have an interface that supports any display size.> Support for Multitasking on iPad is strongly encouraged. Adding support for multiple windows, and adopting Multitasking capabilities, including Slide Over, Split View, and Picture in Picture, will ensure your app delivers a modern and complete experience on iPadOS.Above is the latest from official Apple Developer News. Specifically the portion "starting April 2020, apps submitted to the App Store must use an Xcode storyboard to provide the app’s launch screen and must have an interface that supports any display size". I can see LaunchScreen.storyboard and Main.storyboard inside iOS Runner Xcode Workspace, not sure if Flutter is setup to use them. The news also suggest we'll now require to test Flutter apps running on iPad.

[D] The Flutter Architecture
The Flutter SDK allows you to build Android, iOS, web, and desktop apps from a single codebase. This is done using platform-specific features as well as media queries, and it enables developers to ship applications faster. Flutter also offers close- to-instant feedback with the hot reload feature, enabling you to iterate quickly on your application.In this piece, we’ll cover the fundamental concepts you need in order to start working with Flutter.https://heartbeat.fritz.ai/the-flutter-architecture-9d3a5f30bb25
