#TIL about Secure Enclave and #Flutter security.

If you store sensitive data with #flutter_secure_storage, anyone running your app on a jailbroken hashtag#iOS device can easily extract your keys in plaintext.

The right solution is to use the Secure Enclave for key wrapping and only store the wrapped blob in the keychain.

There’s already an open issue about this: github.com/juliansteenb...

How do you find good issues to work on in Flutter OSS? 🤔

#FlutterDev #OSS

Ahmed Hussein 💙 @ahmeddhus.bsky.social · Aug 30

I get the issue from the good first issue flag that wasn’t even assigned.
After I sent the PR, many people suddenly commented wanting to take it, luckily I was just ahead.

The hardest part of contributing to @flutter.dev wasn’t the coding,it was finding the right issue.
Most issues are either taken, or get fixed before you finish.

Regardless of whether we call it MVVM, MVN, or something else, the #Flutter team’s architecture guidance explains each layer’s role really well.

It’s simple, easy to follow, and exactly the kind of clarity you’d expect from Flutter’s docs.

Scheduling posts is such an underrated feature. I love it.

Pushing yourself out of your comfort zone isn’t easy, especially when you’re in a place where you’re respected and loved.
But growth demands it, and new lessons only come when you step beyond comfort.

I picked a “good first issue” to get started and submitted my first PR to Flutter, which already got an initial approval (hopefully it gets merged too 😅).

It’s a small change, but I still learned a lot along the way, and I’m excited to contribute more 😄

Besides that, should I comment on the issue to “claim” it before submitting the PR? It’s not assigned to anyone and no PR is linked

Ahmed Hussein 💙 @ahmeddhus.bsky.social · Aug 19

Just picked a good first issue from the Flutter repo and submitted a PR.

How long does it usually take to get a response? (Even more curious since the issue was opened by someone from the Flutter team 👀)
