Hire developers
Flutter gets you one codebase for iOS and Android that actually looks native on both, so the pool skews toward people who ship consumer apps fast. The gap shows up at the platform edges. A lot of Flutter developers are strong with widgets and Dart but reach for the native layer only when forced, and that is exactly where real apps get hard: background tasks, push notifications, deep links, and any feature that needs a platform channel or a plugin that nobody maintains. The other risk is state management, where teams either under-engineer with raw setState or cargo-cult a Bloc setup they cannot explain.
Ask which state approach they use (Provider, Riverpod, Bloc, or plain setState) and, more importantly, why they picked it for a specific app. Strong candidates understand the widget rebuild cost and can tell you when a rebuild is what is dropping frames, ideally with a jank story they chased down in DevTools. The tell worth probing is what they do when the package they need has no maintained plugin for one platform: someone who has written a platform channel or patched a native side has shipped real Flutter, someone who has only glued pub.dev packages together has not. Have them walk through one production incident on a released app, App Store rejection, a crash tied to a native dependency, or a state bug that only appeared after a hot restart hid it in dev.
