 FlutterFlow is a visual development platform that generates complete Flutter applications. While it supports writing custom Dart code through **Custom Actions** and **Custom Functions**, it does not allow direct editing of platform-native code (Kotlin, Swift) through its web UI. This introduces some important considerations when integrating Flutter’s `MethodChannel` API for platform-specific functionality.
