I've helped dozens of students get their Flutter apps onto a real device for the first time. Almost everyone hits the same three walls:

1. Signing & provisioning hell. You open Xcode, hit run, and get slapped with a signing error. The fix is simple — but Apple's docs make it feel impossible. You need a free developer account, the right team selected in Xcode, and a unique bundle identifier. That's it. Don't pay $99 for a dev account until you're ready to publish to the App Store.

2. CocoaPods version conflicts. Your Flutter project compiles fine on Android, then blows up on iOS because of a pod dependency mismatch. The move: delete your Podfile.lock, run pod install --repo-update, and make sure your minimum iOS deployment target matches what your plugins need (usually iOS 13+).

3. Skipping TestFlight and going straight to the App Store. TestFlight exists for a reason. Use it. Share your build with 3-5 people, get real feedback on real devices, and fix the obvious stuff before Apple's review team tears it apart.

If any of these sound familiar, FlutterKit was built for exactly this. Pre-built templates that already compile on both platforms, plus a video walkthrough of the full Xcode → TestFlight pipeline.

Stop reading docs in circles. Ship the app.
