Lesson#1

For publishing Flutter apps you need developer accounts at Google Play Store (for publishing Android apps) and App Store (for publishing iOS apps).

Every application on Android and iOS has an Identifier which is a reverse domain identifier. Every identifier is associated with a domain name. If you have an application myapp and your domain name is haider.com then the identifier will be in reverse order of the domain name i.e. com.haider.myapp (seems strange but it is how it is).

You usually don’t need a website for the given identifier.

If you don’t want to publish your app, you need developer account.

Developer Account for iOS

There are two main types of developer accounts i.e. Individual Account and Company Account.

The difference is the liability: If you register a individual account you are responsible for the account (legal issues), like breach of information. For company account you may or may not be personally accountable for any damages to the user; for instance breach of information.

If user is storing notes and you can access the personal notes of the user.

If you want to sell the app you need to provide the bank and tax information in the developers account.
