FAQ
How do I set up a project for native C/C++ integration?
You can set up a project using the 'package_ffi' template by running 'flutter create --template=package_ffi <package_name>'. If you need access to the Flutter Plugin API, use the 'plugin_ffi' template.
What are the threading rules for using Platform Channels?
Channel methods intended for Flutter must be invoked on the platform's main thread. If executing on a background thread, use the Task Queue API.
Can I use this skill for web applications?
Yes, this skill supports web applications by allowing integration with JavaScript and DOM APIs through JS Interop.
What are the limitations of using FFI?
When using FFI, ensure that C++ symbols are marked with 'extern "C"' to prevent linker issues, and use 'package:ffigen' for generating Dart bindings.
Is there a preferred method for implementing Platform Channels?
It is recommended to use 'package:pigeon' for type-safe Platform Channels instead of raw 'MethodChannel' implementations for complex APIs.
