Hello, I hope everyone is doing well.
In this article, we will have an introduction to Flutter.
In general, we develop Android applications using Java and iOS applications using either Objective-C or Swift. Here in this case if we want to create the same mobile app for both Android and iOS basically we have to create 2 different projects in Android and iOS and have to manage them with 2 different repositories.
However, there are some frameworks available to code once in a single language to generate apps for both Android and iOS. The popular ones under this category are Flutter, Xamarin, and React Native.
Flutter is a simple and high-performance framework based on Dart language. It provides excellent performance since it will render UI directly on Canvas rather than through the native framework.
Flutter has so many UI widgets available to be used in applications straight away. That helps us for faster development.
Precisely Flutter application itself is one Widget. It has so many Gestures and Animations.
Advantages of Flutter
- Flutter comes with beautiful and customizable widgets which helps us in achieving high-performance applications in a short duration.
- Dart language has a large group of packages available that will help us in extending the app capabilities.
- We can generate an app for both Android and iOS with a single source base.
- Using Flutter, the developer has full control over widgets and layouts.
- It offers great developer tools, with superb hot reload.
