Folder structure

There's two different folders. Each of them is a Dart project.

core: contains the pure Dart business logic, such API communication, Redux, XML parsing, sanitization, i18n, models and utilities. It also has a great test coverage.
ui: this is the Flutter project. It imports core, and it's a 100% shared codebase for the native Android & iOS apps that go on app stores.
