On August 12, Flutter 3.47 was officially released, bringing a wave of exciting changes and brand-new features.
We always strive to keep our Flutter client as up to date as possible, so we took the plunge and upgraded early. Even though not all add-ons have been updated by the community yet, our client is running quite well. We did have to patch a few AddOns ourselves, but the community will certainly release updates in the coming weeks.
Here are the add-ons we have updated and patched so far:
Our VisionX App v3.4.0 has officially landed in the app stores. Over the past few weeks and months, we have poured a ton of energy into feature development, and it has truly paid off. With the new release, building sleek, custom applications is easier than ever. We put together a quick video to show you what we mean.
In the video, you will see a password management app built with 3 core screens: Secrets, Security Protocol, and Feedback.
The entire application was built and deployed with VisionX in just 20 minutes.
The first 30 seconds of the video show the menu and Secrets screen in their raw, out-of-the-box state. The app is fully functional right away, but there is plenty of room for visual polish - and that is where the magic happens starting at second 31.
First, we drop the header background color and hide the menu grouping, since small apps do not really need category groups anyway. Next, we update the global application color, which instantly propagates across all screens including Secrets.
Since the Secrets screen has its own header background, we clear that as well. By default, it features a search field, a button, and a data table. To save screen real estate, we convert the label into a sleek placeholder text with a magnifying glass icon, then align the search button directly beside the field. While tables are useful, a card-style list fits sparse data much better, so we swap the table for a list, color-code alternate rows for readability, and add dynamic icons.
The result is a clean, modern aesthetic that looks infinitely better.
Next up: the input form. Originally, it takes a traditional approach with standalone labels, input fields, and standard action buttons. Works fine, but with room for visual improvement. To modernize it, we integrate labels directly into the fields as placeholders, remove full button borders for a subtle look, and add a live password strength meter. We also tweak the required field color so it blends seamlessly with the new theme, and finish off with a clean border frame around the image.
The application now feels completely redesigned, fresh, and polished.
The absolute best part?
No rebuilding or new app deployment was required - just pure styling updates. The app dynamically adapts to whatever configuration you define.
For instance, switching from a table to a customized list is done in a single line:
Digital connectivity brings immense value, but it also demands a new level of protection. With the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), the European Union is setting strict standards for reporting security incidents and vulnerabilities starting September 11, 2026. The good news for our customers and partners: We have completed our preparations early.
We have established all necessary processes and structures to fully comply with the CRA requirements going into effect in September 2026.
What does this mean for you in practice?
Real-time transparency on vulnerabilities: Should critical security gaps be identified or actively exploited in our products, our newly structured reporting and analysis processes take effect immediately. We will inform the relevant authorities (such as ENISA) within the required deadlines.
Rapid patch management: Thanks to the direct integration of our vulnerability management with early warning systems, security updates will be fed into our development pipeline even faster.
Proven resilience: Our internal organization has been adapted to the new EU regulations - ranging from incident tracking to a clear incident response chain.
Looking ahead: Our roadmap to 2027
The CRA is not a one-time project, but an ongoing standard. While the September 2026 milestone focuses on reporting mechanisms, we are already working behind the scenes on the next phase for December 11, 2027
This update packs a punch, bringing significant upgrades to our Mobile App and Next-Generation Web experience, alongside essential platform refinements, cloud efficiency gains, and key developer fixes.
Whether you are building cross-platform enterprise apps or fine-tuning existing layouts, version 6.6.601 delivers a smoother, faster, and more customizable developer journey.
Here is a breakdown of everything new in VisionX 6.6.601
Mobile App: Advanced Security, Richer UI & Better Customization
The VisionX Mobile experience gets a huge leap forward with security features, expanded UI components, and flexible styling tools.
On-Device Data Encryption
Local data is now automatically encrypted prior to storage on the device.
Biometric & PIN Security (Optional)
Enable Face ID, Fingerprint, or PIN protection for secure app access.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Native support for MFA workflows straight out of the box.
Encrypted Data Export (HTML Safe)
Export encrypted device data directly on the device in a secure format.
UI Styling
Extended styling customization across menus, buttons, tables, and form components.
Brand-new Button Group control
Brand-new Password strength control
Foldable group panels
Modern Tabset component
Direct access to all FontAwesome and Material Design Icons
Optional Copy-to-Clipboard button inside text editors
Our reactUI is based on latest standards and security fixes.
We don't have any known vulnerabilities. Especially the signature pad is important because we rewrote it from scratch.
The table got a small but nice update: The header is now sticky and doesn't scroll with records.
With it, you can change the database configuration in already created WAR files. Since the configuration is encrypted, changing the username or password usually requires you to replace the configuration or create a new WAR file altogether. While that isn't a massive effort, it is unnecessary.
That’s why we’ve created a small tool to save you a bit of time. You can use it either with a graphical user interface (GUI) or via command-line parameters without the GUI. The tool was developed as a desktop application using standard JVx and the Swing UI.
Here is what it looks like:
WAR modification tool
If you are interested in the tool, just let us know!
We're happy to announce Flutter 3.44 support for our native app.
The core app and library flutter_jvx was successfully migrated to the new build system. We currently have some warnings about missing Swift Package Manager support for the packages:
webview_cookie_manager_plus
push
open_filex
flutter_tts
and missing AGP support for:
device_info_plus
file_picker
file_saver
flutter_device_platform_id
flutter_timezone
flutter_tts
haptic_feedback
mobile_scanner
package_info_plus
push
screen_brightness_android
speech_to_text
wakelock_plus
But hopefully these will be solved by package developers in next few months.
This highlights the dependency on packages within the open-source community.
Without the great work of many individual developers, this kind of development wouldn't even be possible!
What are the benefits of switching to Flutter 3.44?
Perceptible performance gains
The app is even smoother and faster than before. It looks absolutely amazing!
Future ready
Support for latest device features.
Bugfixes
Many bugs are only fixed in the latest version and won't be patched in older versions, like Keyboard toggle if you switch between input fields.
With latest core app, we fixed some smaller problems like table formatting and we introduced a nice feature:
Records available
The table shows if more records are available with two arrows in the right bottom corner. It's a small improvement but vey helpful
We also show a real checkbox in table edit dialog if you enable multi-line selection:
Real checkbox
In older versions the checkbox was a UTF-8 font:
UTF-8 Checkbox
And last but not least, we pimped the menu a little bit.
In previous versions, you couldn't scroll the last line of the menu up, which caused menu items to get cut off or overlapped on some devices. Now, you can pull the menu up a bit higher to prevent that from happening.
We proudly announce our brand new Add-On for upcoming VisionX 6.6: Security protocol
Security protocol Add-On
This AddOn adds an additional layer to your application and makes it possible to see login failures, successful logins and logouts, with additional information:
We are happy to announce some new Add-Ons for VisionX!
Entra ID authentication (with user and group sync)
The Entra ID authentication uses Azure AD/Entra ID for authentication and synchronizes user and group information from Azure to your application.
This AddOn supports SLO with your browser.
AD authentication (with user and group sync)
The AD authentication uses Kerberos to authenticate against your active directory like Samba or Microsoft AD (Windows Server) and synchronizes user and group information to your application.
This AddOn supports SSO with your browser.
This AddOn is a more powerful version of our current AD authentication AddOn which doesn't synchronize user and group information.
LDAP authentication (with user and group sync)
This AddOn simply allows manual authentication against your LDAP server. It synchronizes user and group information from LDAP to your application.
All Add-Ons are available separately and can be purchased.
These are not free add-ons.
We are currently developing a new AddOn for VisionX that allows you to log in to your application using Entra ID (Azure AD).
The AddOn integrates seamlessly into your application, giving you the flexibility to choose your preferred login method. The authentication type is determined by the URL you access, for example:
http://myapp.visionx.cloud/AzureADAuth/ (without Entra ID login)
http://myapp.visionx.cloud/AzureADAuth/azauth (with Entra ID login)
If Entra ID login is selected, the Entra ID login mask will appear before the application loads:
EntraID login
After a successful login, you will be redirected straight to the application and signed in automatically. All available screens will be visible immediately, based on your specific permissions. During the login process, we automatically sync app roles and user groups from Entra ID to your application.
