Flutter: Using Self Signed SSL Certificates in Development

Mar 17, 2021

I recently started working with Flutter during an RnD phase at work after Ionic which had been the planned direction revealed itself to be a non-viable option given the business requirement. Personally, probably professionally and potentially even for the business, that was a blessing in disguise.

That problem introduced us all to flutter, and I myself was very happy with the discovery, it was easy to use, the tutorials were abundant and coming from a Typescript Front-end environment it was both different and familiar.

It’s early days still, but so far I have only run into 1 significant problem working with it, and that was when trying to connect to my local API, which naturally has a self-signed cert. Getting around this, or more accurately working with this seemed far more complicated than I would have expected.

While many results to come through on google, unfortunately for someone 4 days into Flutter, none of the answers gave enough context for me to understand what I needed to do, many hours later and lots of reading I began to discover the context through the various code bits and posts that I read through.
