This week in Flutter #24: raywenderlich.com Flutter apprentice book is now available for free for a limited time.

โ€” Newsletter

This week raywenderlich.com, in a collaboration with the Flutter team at Google, made available a new version of Flutter apprentice for free. Even if you are an experienced Flutter developer, you should have a look at the book.

In other news, Paddle is planning an alternative to Apple’s In-App purchase. I am looking forward to seeing if it will work, making developers some more money.
