@CFDevelop As a reviewer would you not rather be taken in the journey with smaller PRs than a huge PR? In either scenario context is important... For me reviewing incremental changes (with the general idea of where something is going) is far less cognitively demanding than a large PR

Anyone want this before I get rid? From the original Flutter Live event in 2018.

@Frankdroid77 Thank you @Frankdroid77 🙂 just want to clarify that it's bringing quality concerns to left/earlier rather than bringing developer practices earlier, there just happens to be loads that developers can do to support this🙂

Thank you for coming!

[Tom Alabaster @tomdev_]

@nuxnix You're welcome Angus, thank you for coming along!

[Tom Alabaster @tomdev_]

@nuxnix You're right @nuxnix - I should have made that clearer and perhaps provided alternative POVs for this..!

[Tom Alabaster @tomdev_]

Pretty good line up by the looks of it 👀

@cherucole Flip side to this is why being able to *write* code understandable by others in the team is an important skill!

Both very important :)

@ilyamiskov Updating a GitHub issue with the fix when you figure it out.

[Tom Alabaster @tomdev_]

Is it me or is the Flutter Q1 survey asking me different questions each time?

@ICuvula Huh! Better raise an issue on GitHub then

[Tom Alabaster @tomdev_]

@ICuvula You ran the DartPad? The first, third and fourth scenerios are examples of when didPop may be true🤔

[Tom Alabaster @tomdev_]

@ICuvula If your onPopInvoked callback programatically pops then onPopInvoked is called a second time with didPop set as true.

Check out these 4 scenarios:
- canPop true
- canPop false
- canPop false then popping incorrectly
- canPop false then popping correctly

[Tom Alabaster @tomdev_]

Controversial but I think allow once and allow always should apply for all system permission types...

[Tom Alabaster @tomdev_]

Which order do you dispose your disposables? Does it matter? Does it not matter (until it does)?

#Flutter #FlutterDevs

[Tom Alabaster @tomdev_]

E.g.

Version 1 - Available
Version 2 - Rolling out

Submit version 3 for review (even with managed publishing on)

Version 1 - Available
Version 2 - Halted, can't resume
Version 3 - Not yet published, but can halt, but halting doesn't resume version 2

[Tom Alabaster @tomdev_]

PSA: Sending an app for review on Google Play before your previous version's rollout has completed (e.g. ramping up from 1% to 100% at your own pace) will halt the previous version with no way to resume
