Can you build both the Flutter app and the Laravel API?
Yes, that is the usual setup. Having one developer on both sides removes the contract mismatches that slow down separate teams.
A Flutter client and a Laravel backend built to work together — consistent JSON contracts, token authentication, sensible error states and offline behaviour that does not leave users staring at a spinner.

Most integration pain is not code — it is disagreement about shape. Field names, date formats, null handling, pagination and error structure need to be decided once and followed everywhere.
I define the endpoints and response shapes before building screens, so the Flutter app and Laravel API develop against the same contract instead of drifting apart.
Laravel Sanctum or Passport handles token auth, with refresh, revocation and device management. The app stores tokens securely, retries after refresh and handles a revoked session without losing the user's work.
Role and permission checks stay on the server. Client-side hiding is a UX choice, not security.
Indian mobile users often move between strong Wi-Fi and weak mobile data in the same session. Requests need timeouts, retries with backoff, and clear states for loading, empty and failed.
Where data is not time-critical, caching on the device and revalidating in the background makes the app feel instant and reduces server load.
File uploads, image resizing, emails, invoices and push sending belong in queued jobs so requests stay fast. Failed jobs need retries and visibility, not silent loss.
I also set up environment configuration, API versioning and basic rate limiting so the backend survives real usage.

Partially, depending on the feature. Read-only data can be cached; writes need a queue and conflict rules. I scope which flows genuinely need offline support instead of pretending everything can.
Yes. I start by reviewing routes, models, auth and existing clients, then add endpoints without breaking what is already live.
