Why should you use kRelea...

Here is my attempt at answering your interview question about using kReleaseMode instead of assert in Flutter:

Using kReleaseMode vs assert in Flutter

In Flutter, kReleaseMode and assert are both used for conditional code execution, but they serve different purposes and have different behaviors.

kReleaseMode

kReleaseMode is a constant that is true when the app is running in release mode (i.e. a compiled, optimized version of the app) and false when running in debug mode. It is commonly used to conditionally execute code that should only run in release builds, such as:

• Sending analytics or crash reports
• Enabling certain optimizations
• Hiding debug-only UI elements

For example:

if (kReleaseMode) {
  // Code to execute in release mode only
  sendAnalyticsEvent('screen_viewed');
}

assert

assert is used to check a condition at runtime and throw an AssertionError if the condition is false. Asserts are only evaluated in debug buil...
