Just built several mobile apps in the Adroid Studio/Flutter/Dart platform. Love it.

Also, am having great fun making arcade-type platformer games in the Phaser3 Engine with HTML5/JavaScript language. I know it's old-stye, but there are a bunch of us out there who love making arcade games.

Hi! While I haven't personally used TestComplete for automating Flutter apps, I can share some general insights. Automating apps built with Flutter can be a bit tricky because of how Flutter handles its UI rendering. The elements are not always recognized as native UI components, which makes it harder for tools like TestComplete to locate and interact with them.

There are alternative solutions like Appium that have better support for Flutter, and they can help identify elements within the widget tree. You might need to use custom identifiers or adjust the way the app is structured for better automation compatibility.
