Cross-Platform Application Development Report
Introduction
This report outlines the design, development, and evaluation of a cross-platform application built using Flutter for tracking sugar levels. The application is intended to work across multiple platforms, including Android, iOS, Web, Windows, macOS, and Linux. This document details the application's design, implementation, testing, and evaluation while grounding decisions in industry standards and academic literature.
Design
Wireframes and User Interface
A meaningful wireframe was developed to demonstrate the layout and functionality of the application. The wireframes ensure a user-friendly interface that follows design heuristics and best practices for cross-platform applications. The application features a home screen displaying sugar level data, an input screen for users to log sugar readings, and a settings screen to manage preferences. The design was guided by platform-specific guidelines such as Google’s Material Design and Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines.
Academic Literature Supporting Design Decisions
