Telemetry in Flutter?
Telemetry in Flutter?
Yeah, I'm sure this is a pretty newbie question, but here I go:
What ammount of telemetry have Flutter by default? And there is a way to deactivate it? I wanna learn this technology to develop some Mobile Applications, but I'm (honestly) worried about this, because you know, Google dirty techniques, etc.
if you're a developer, there's a very easy and practical way of testing this without trusting anyone's (not even Google's) word:
compile the most basic of flutter apps or some demo and see if the app makes any kind of request to the internet.
edit: a single web search reveals that Flutter has indeed Google telemetry enabled by default. developing your web searching skills is a good habit for developers.
I think the telemetry is only for the Flutter developer tools, not the apps themselves that you create with them.
that's very plausible, I didn't stop to look into it further than a quick read.

I already know this, just
flutter config --disable-analyticssolve this problem.But there are more than this. For example, Flutter itself doesn't work correctly. It needs the Android SDK (that is installed separately). And with this you need to accept the licenses and other stuff. That's the point.

I don't think Flutter itself has any such anti feature. Its simply a toolkit
