Which Flutter storage solution is best for simple app settings?

SharedPreferences is the best choice for simple key-value pairs like user theme preferences, language settings, and onboarding flags.

How do I handle sensitive data like auth tokens in Flutter?

This skill covers security best practices, including using encrypted storage solutions and platform-specific secure storage like Keychain or Keystore.

Does this skill help with complex relational data in Flutter?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns for SQLite and Drift, which are ideal for structured data requiring relationships, joins, and ACID compliance.

Are these persistence methods compatible with Flutter Web?

The skill identifies cross-platform solutions like Hive and SharedPreferences that work seamlessly across mobile, desktop, and web platforms.
