The Mobile Protect SDK has a dedicated integration for iOS and Android apps built using Flutter. This document will take you through the steps to integrate the SDK into your build system.

This will involve some steps on the Flutter side as well as some steps on both iOS and Android.

Flutter Integration

Step 1

Download the SDK from the Mobile Protect in the Portal.

Step 2

Copy the flutter_mobile_protect directory to the root of the Flutter project.

Step 3

Add flutter_mobile_protect as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file:

$ flutter pub add flutter_mobile_protect --path flutter_mobile_protect/

The project’s pubspec.yaml should then contain the following entry:

dependencies:
   flutter_mobile_protect:
     path: flutter_mobile_protect

Step 4

In your main.dart file

1. Import the Mobile Protect for Flutter library:
   import 'package:flutter_mobile_protect/flutter_mobile_protect.dart';

2. Add the following initialiser method:

   Future<void> initMobileProtect() async {
     try {
       await FlutterMobileProtect.init;
     } on PlatformException {
       print("Failed to initialize");
     }
   }

3. Call initMobileProtect() when initialising your main App widget.

Android Integration

Step 1

Declare dependencies within your project’s build.gradle as follows:

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath files('../flutter_mobile_protect/android/mobileprotect/gradle{VERSION}+_plugin/mobile-protect-gradle-plugin.jar')
        classpath 'org.aspectj:aspectjtools:1.9.4'
    }
}

Note: replace {VERSION} with one of the provided versions in the SDK that matches the version of Gradle your project is using.

Step 2

Activate the plugin in your App module's build.gradle file, by adding the following statement after the apply plugin: 'com.android.application' statement.

apply plugin: 'com.dtplugin.mobileprotect'

Step 3

In the Android project, create the xml directory (flutter_app/android/app/src/main/res/xml) if it does not exist. Then, copy the mobileprotect.xml config file into the xml resources folder.

iOS Integration

In the iOS project copy the MobileProtect.plist config file into the Flutter project's Xcode project, place it in the project root. See Add Existing Files and Folders to a Project for instructions.
