Designer 2.0

Designer App as an SDK — Seamless Native Integration
We’re introducing Designer App as an SDK, enabling you to embed screens and workflows built in vDesigner directly into your native Android or iOS applications. This opens new possibilities for hybrid app development, where Designer-powered features can coexist with custom native modules.

Key Highlights

  • Android (AAR Integration)

    • Generate AAR files from Designer and integrate them into Android Studio projects.
    • Use FlutterActivity with cached engines for seamless screen launches.
    • Exchange complex data structures between native and SDK via Method Channels.
    • Flexible triggers — launch SDK screens from any native UI component.
      Please refer for detailed documentation .

  • iOS (Framework Integration)

    • Import Designer-generated Flutter frameworks into your iOS project using CocoaPods.
    • Embed Designer screens with FlutterViewController wrapped in SwiftUI/UIKit.
    • Bidirectional data exchange through FlutterMethodChannel.
    • Works seamlessly with native app lifecycle and permissions (camera, microphone, location, etc.).
      Please refer here for detailed documentation.

Use Cases

  • Integrate Designer-powered onboarding or workflows inside existing native apps.
  • Accelerate hybrid app delivery without compromising on native control.
