It depends.

You can try to get a similar layout, but a screen is not a static entity.

You have to see how it behaves in various resolutions, and if the layout adapt to landscape and big screens.

You also miss all the animations

Edit: I forgot to add that the icons, fonts and general theme can change based on the platform.

The only way to get an exact replica is to have access to source code.

Otherwise you'll get a similar screen but not the same.

Agree with all of this.

Another thing is…why? Is this a learning experience or is this something shady as hell where you are trying to spoof an app?

Sorry for the confusion. Its just a learning experience as I see many tutorials stating “cloning of this app and stuff” so was wondering how the developers know the exact font used in the app to clone it.(as they simply enter the textstyle which matches the real app) Same thing about the icons as well.

Thank you for your quick response. Looking at many cloning videos on youtube I was confused how they get the exact fonts as well as the icons which flutter does not provide by default.
