[0022] Referring now to figure 1, the method (100) for creating customised mobile applications using application programming interface (API) on a server in accordance with the present invention is illustrated. The method (100) includes steps of:

[0023] The method (100) starts at step (110).

[0024] At step (120), a user logs in user’s details through a user interface. The user details are username and a password.

[0025] At step (130), the detail of a required application is filled by the user through the user interface. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the details of a required application are application name, extensive description, documentation for application programming interface (API), feature selection from list of features and the like. In an alternate embodiment, the details of the required application are URL and logo (as shown in figure 2).

[0026] At step (140), the details of the required application are displayed and previewed before submitting the details to the application programming interface (API) on the server. In the present embodiment, spring boot application programming interface (API) is used. It may be obvious to a person to use any application programming interface (API).

[0027] At step (150), the detail of the required application is received by the application programming interface (API), the server builds a dependency list based on the details filled by the user.

[0028] At step (160), a file with the dependency list is uploaded to the content delivery network (CDN).

[0029] At step (170), a link from the content delivery network (CDN) is sent to the node.js server (hosted on Ubuntu VM).

[0030] At step (180), the dependency list is extracted from the content delivery network (CDN) and put the dependency list into a flutter project at the server.

[0031] At step (190), a command using “flutter pub get” is executed to check the compatibility between the dependency list.

[0032] At step (200), command “flutter clean” is executed on the shell to reduce the size of the project. It may be obvious to a person skilled in the art to use “flutter build apk” command which is executed by the server to build the android application package (apk) (as shown in figure 2).

[0033] At step (210), the project is compressed into zip file to be uploaded back to the content delivery network (CDN) to make available to an admin and other developers over the server for downloading the customised or tailormade application via email or accessed for their respective login.

[0034] The method (100) ends at step (220).
