How to start a flask server on android/iOS in backend

I am making an app with flutter frontend and python backend. The problem is that I need to create a flask server running offline locally on an Android or iOS device. I don't know how to start the server simultaneously with the app to push some http requests to the server.

The server is basically:

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
import socket
import threading
import paramiko

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/function_name', methods=['POST'])
def function():

....

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=5000)
