I am trying to create a flutter application that sends SMS to relatives of an elderly person if he has not consumed his medicine on time. I was planning on using Twilio but there is not enough documentation and resources for me to implement it. Please help

Have you checked out this Dart helper library for Twilio?

  1. Add a dependency to twilio_dart to your pubspec.yaml
  2. Run pub get
  3. Get a key and authentication code from your Twilio console. The account is limited but free.

Now you can make a new Twilio object with your account details like so:

import 'package:twilio_dart/twilio.dart';

var key = "your_twilio_key";
var authToken = "your_auth_token";
var version = "2010-04-01";
//create a new twilio object
Twilio twilio = new Twilio(key, authToken, version);

To send a SMS with this, add

var from = "your_twilio_phone";
var to = "your_mobile_number";
var body = "Look ma! Dart can now send SMS's in under 15 lines";

and check out the repo for more!

I found another way to do this using just the Http package 

import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

import 'dart:convert';



void sendSMS() async {

  var cred =

      'ACCOUNT_SID:AUTH_TOKEN';

  var bytes = utf8.encode(cred);

  var base64Str = base64.encode(bytes);

  var url =

      'https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/ACCOUNT_SID/Messages.json';

  var response = await http.post(url, headers: {

    'Authorization': 'Basic ${base64Str}'

  }, body: {

    'From': '+xxxxxxxx', //twilio number

    'To': '+15558675310',

    'Body': 'Hello world!'

  });

  print('Response status: ${response.statusCode}');

  print('Response body: ${response.body}');

}

Using this function we can send SMS from a Twilio Number. Correct me if I'm wrong. Cheers.
