Mobile ecosystem: iOS vs Android — market share, architecture, and developer tools · Native vs cross-platform: Flutter, React Native, Kotlin, Swift — trade-offs · Setting up environments: Android Studio, Xcode, VS Code, Dart/Flutter SDK · Mobile UI/UX principles: touch targets, gestures, and haptic feedback · Platform conventions: Material Design 3 and Apple Human Interface Guidelines · App architecture: MVC, MVVM, Clean Architecture, feature-first folder structure · App stores: Google Play Console and Apple App Store Connect — setup and policies · Performance: 60fps/120fps targets, jank, memory management, and battery usage

Dart language: variables, types, null safety, functions, classes, mixins, extensions · Asynchronous Dart: Future, async/await, Stream, and StreamController · Flutter architecture: widget tree, element tree, render tree, and Flutter engine · StatelessWidget vs StatefulWidget: lifecycle methods and setState() · Core layout widgets: Container, Row, Column, Stack, Expanded, Flexible, Padding · Scaffold and MaterialApp: structure, ThemeData, and dark mode support · Hot reload vs hot restart: the Flutter developer feedback loop · Flutter Inspector and DevTools: debugging and performance profiling · Hands-on lab: build a Dart class hierarchy for a real domain model

Material 3 widgets: AppBar, BottomNavigationBar, NavigationRail, Drawer, FAB · Custom widgets: building reusable components through composition · Lists and grids: ListView.builder, GridView.builder, CustomScrollView · Forms and validation: TextFormField, Form key, and custom validators · Animations: implicit (AnimatedContainer) and explicit (AnimationController, Tween) · Navigation with GoRouter: named routes, deep linking, and navigation guards · Responsive layouts: LayoutBuilder, MediaQuery, and OrientationBuilder · Custom painting: CustomPainter and Canvas API · Hands-on lab: multi-screen shopping app UI with navigation and animations

State management: setState, Provider, Riverpod, BLoC, GetX — comparison · Riverpod: providers, notifiers, async providers, and code generation · BLoC pattern: events, states, Cubit vs Bloc, and testing in isolation · HTTP networking: Dio and http packages — GET, POST, interceptors, retry · JSON serialisation: dart:convert, json_serializable, and Freezed · REST API: authentication headers, error handling, loading/error/success states · Local storage: SharedPreferences, Hive, Isar, and SQLite with Drift ORM · Firebase: Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Storage, and Crashlytics · Hands-on lab: task management app with Riverpod and Firestore sync

React Native architecture: bridge vs JSI new architecture (Fabric + TurboModules) · Setup: React Native CLI vs Expo — differences, trade-offs, and use cases · Core components: View, Text, Image, ScrollView, FlatList, TextInput · StyleSheet API: flexbox in React Native and responsive styling · Navigation with React Navigation v6: stack, tab, drawer, nested navigators · State management: React Query for server state and Zustand for client state · Native modules: Camera, Maps, Push Notifications, Biometrics, Payments · Expo: Expo Router (file-based routing), EAS Build, and OTA updates · Hands-on lab: port a Flutter app concept to React Native and compare implementations

Unit testing: flutter_test, mockito, and mocktail · Widget testing: pumpWidget, finder APIs, and UI component behaviour · Integration testing: patrol package — E2E on real devices and emulators · Performance profiling: Flutter DevTools timeline — identifying jank · Optimisations: const constructors, RepaintBoundary, lazy loading, image caching · Mobile security: certificate pinning, flutter_secure_storage, root/jailbreak detection · Obfuscation: R8/ProGuard for Android, bitcode for iOS · Crash reporting: Firebase Crashlytics, Sentry, and Firebase Analytics · Hands-on lab: profile and optimise a slow Flutter app to consistent 60fps

Product definition: user stories, acceptance criteria, and feature backlog · Design: Figma wireframes, component library, and design system · Architecture: state management, navigation, data layer decisions · Build: complete mobile app with auth, CRUD, and real-time data · Test: unit, widget, integration tests — minimum 70% code coverage · Performance: profile on Android and iOS — resolve all jank and memory issues · Security: secure storage, certificate pinning, OWASP Mobile Top 10 checklist · Publish: submit to Google Play Store (internal testing) or Apple TestFlight · Demo day: live demo, architecture walkthrough, Q&A with technical panel

Build cross-platform mobile apps for Android and iOS using Flutter and React Native · Implement state management, API integration, local storage, and Firebase · Write comprehensive test suites and optimise mobile app performance to 60fps · Publish applications to Google Play Store and Apple App Store · Achieve a credential benchmarked against Google Flutter and Meta React Native standards

Complete all 7 modules, publish or submit a complete mobile application to Google Play (internal testing) or Apple TestFlight, and pass a code review with an instructor (minimum 75%).
