apptimize_flutter

This project provides access to the Apptimize platform SDK for both Android and iOS flutter apps.

Getting Started

  1. Add the dependency to your pubspec.yaml adding apptimize_flutter:

    Using pub.dev

    dependencies:
    apptimize_flutter: ^2.0.0    # Any 2.x version where x >= 0 works.

  2. Install it.

    • From the terminal: Run flutter pub get.

      OR

    • From Android Studio/IntelliJ: Click Packages get in the action ribbon at the top of pubspec.yaml.

    • From VS Code: Click Get Packages located in right side of the action ribbon at the top of pubspec.yaml.

    • You may need to update your ios/Podfile to require iOS 11+, the lowest version supported by the SDK:

      platform :ios, '11.0'

  3. In each dart files you wish to use apptimize, add the following import statement:

    import 'package:apptimize_flutter/apptimize_flutter.dart';

  4. Add the code to start Apptimize to your project.

    Create a listener so you know when it is safe to start executing tests.

    // Create a function that will be executed whenever new Apptimize metadata is downloaded
Future<void> onApptimizeInitialized(ApptimizeInitializedEvent e) async {
    print("Apptimize setup and initialization complete");
    Apptimize.track("Apptimize Initialized");
    // Set a flag to indicate Apptimize data is available and content can be displayed
}

    In your startup code add a listener for Apptimize initialization (and any other events that you might need) then start Apptimize using your AppKey (which you can find in the Apptimize dashboard).

    Apptimize.apptimizeInitializedStream.listen((event) => {onApptimizeInitialized(event)});
Apptimize.startApptimize("<appkey>");

  5. (If your app is running) Stop and restart the app. This package brings platform-specific code for iOS and Android and that code must be built into your app. Hot reload and hot restart only update the Dart code, so a full restart of the app might be required to avoid errors like MissingPluginException when using the package.

  6. After that return to the Apptimize dashboard to configure your tests.
