Flutter Version Management with Leo Farias

<p>My guest today is Leo Farias. Leo is the creator of the wildly popular FVM open-source tool. He is the CEO and co-founder of Concepta Inc and CTO and co-founder of FanHero.</p><p>FVM stands for Flutter Version Management. FVM is a simple CLI tool to manage different versions of the Flutter SDK: "FVM helps with the need for consistent app builds by allowing to reference Flutter SDK version used on a per-project basis. It also allows you to have multiple Flutter versions installed to quickly validate and test upcoming Flutter releases with your apps, without waiting for Flutter installation every time."</p><p>In my opinion, FVM is an essential tool for every Flutter developer. It facilitates switching Flutter versions quickly, as well as pinning the Flutter version that should be used for a project which is especially helpful when working on teams. We talked about what motivated Leo to build FVM, FVM's functionalities, and the differences between the various installation options for FVM.</p><p>Leo also worked on Sidekick, a beautiful desktop app (of course written in Flutter) for managing Flutter versions (you can think of it as a graphical user interface over FVM's core functionalities), explore releases, view popular packages, and more. Sidekick is available on Mac, Windows, and Linux.</p><p>At the end of the podcast, we talked about what is next for Leo and what else is he working on.</p><p><strong>Guest: Leo Farias</strong></p><ul><li>Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/leoafarias">@leoafarias</a></li><li>GitHub <a href="https://github.com/leoafarias">@leoafarias</a></li><li>LinkedIn <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/leofarias/">@leofarias</a></li><li><a href="https://fanhero.com/">FanHero</a>: A white label, all-in-one live streaming and OTT solution</li><li><a href="https://www.conceptatech.com/">Concepta</a>: Orlando Mobile App and Web Development Company</li><li><a href="https://fvm.app/">fvm.app</a>: Flutter Version Management</li></ul><p><strong>Host: Vince Varga</strong></p><ul><li>Twitter <a href
