When I started on this project I had to choose the development environment to work with. The two obvious development environments for creating Flutter apps are:

  • Android Studio
  • Visual Studio Code

I did not want to introduce too many variables and decided to stick with Android Studio. Both Android Studio and Flutter come from Google, so it looked like a safe bet.

The device that the app has to run on is the Zebra TC57 Touch Computer. This is a ruggedized Android device with a built-in barcode scanner.
