Flutter App Maintenance, Updates and Support
For apps already in production that need to keep working — bug fixes, upgrades, and support without a full rebuild.
Shipping Is the Start, Not the Finish
An app that launches successfully still needs someone watching it: Flutter and dependency versions age, store policies change, and crashes show up in production that never appeared in testing.
I take on maintenance for apps I didn't necessarily build originally — assessing the existing codebase first, then handling fixes, upgrades, and new features without disrupting what's already working.
Who This Is For
- Businesses with a live Flutter app that's overdue for updates or falling behind on store requirements
- Teams whose original developer is no longer available
- Product owners who need a reliable second opinion on an existing codebase before committing to more work
What You Get
- Bug fixing against reported crashes and edge cases in production
- Performance optimization for slow screens, jank, or excessive rebuilds
- Dependency and Flutter version upgrades, handled incrementally to avoid breaking changes
- Store compliance updates as Apple and Google policy requirements change
- Crash monitoring setup and ongoing triage
- New feature development on top of the existing architecture
- CI/CD and release management so deployments aren't a manual, error-prone process
How We'll Work Together
Review the existing app, its architecture, and its known issues before touching anything.
Agree on what gets fixed first: crashes, compliance, or new features.
Incremental changes with testing at each step, not a risky big-bang rewrite.
Continued monitoring and updates on a schedule that fits the app's needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take over apps you didn't originally build?
Yes — I start with a codebase assessment to understand the architecture and decisions already made before proposing a maintenance plan.
Can you handle a Flutter version upgrade on a large app?
Yes, incrementally, with testing between steps rather than one large jump that risks breaking the app.
Is this a one-off engagement or ongoing?
Both are possible — a one-time fix-and-upgrade pass, or an ongoing support arrangement, depending on what the app needs.
App Falling Behind on Updates?
