Strategies to port your Android app to Flutter
summary
Port an existing Android/iOS app by wrapping native business logic as plugins: copy Kotlin/Objective‑C non‑UI code into a Flutter plugin that exposes functions, keep UI in Dart. Audit database and OS constraints, implement user data migration and reconcile analytics (enhanced ecommerce vs Firebase). Roll out Android first at a small percentage, add real‑time logging and crashlytics, then push iOS. Outcome: a large coffee app prototyped and shipped to production in about two weeks of intensive work.
