Flutter is an open-source mobile app development framework created by Google that allows building iOS and Android apps using the same codebase. It offers features like hot reload for quick testing, native performance, and expressive user interfaces. Many companies like Google Pay have adopted Flutter to build cross-platform apps faster and with fewer resources. Going forward, Flutter 2 will expand its capabilities to target desktop and web apps as well.

2. Google Flutter is an open-source mobile application development
framework created by Google. It is used to develop applications for
Android and iOS, as well as being the primary method of creating
applications for Google Fuchsia. The same Google Flutter App
Development code allows creating apps for both Android and iOS. It
is important to hire Flutter developers to build robust apps.
With features such as single codebase, custom interface, high
performance, and more, mobile apps developed with Flutter look
and feel beautiful as a native app. Flutter uses Google’s
programming language – Dart. Google Flutter has everything it
needs for iPhone app development in its flutter engine itself.

3. iOS development experienced a paradigm shift with the launch of
the Swift programing language. Swift is a modern, fast and type-safe
programming language but it’s still evolving and new features are
under development.
Native iOS app development gained interest with the launch of the
Swift programing language. Swift is the result of the latest research
on programming languages, combined with decades of experience
building Apple platforms. On the other hand, Flutter is an open-
source, multi-platform mobile SDK from Google which can be used
to build iOS and Android apps from the same source code. The
code is written specifically for each platform and the developer
needs to write the code only once.

4. Why Flutter?
Native performance
Highly expressive UI
Single code for front end and back end
Open-source Minimum viable product (MVP)
Faster code development
Reduce time-to-market
Suitable for any platform like app or web

5. Advantages of Flutter for Mobile App
Primary advantages of Flutter are quick time to market and reduced cost
of development. However, let us take a deeper look into the advantages
of Flutter for mobile app development.
Hot Reload: Flutter is all about speed and agility to build mobile apps.
Pursuant to this, it comes with Hot Reload that allows quick and easy
experimentation, creating UIs, incorporating new features, and fix bugs.
It loads code changes into the VM and re-builds the widget tree,
preserving the app state. To put it in simple words, Hot reload allows to
improvise an app’s look and immediately review changes. In other
words, with Flutter, your designer can collaborate with a developer on
the UI, making changes.

6. Advantages of Flutter for Mobile App
Quick Time to Market: Simple to understand that Flutter development
framework offers quick time to market. You can expect to launch a
Flutter app with less resources and man-hours compared to the native
apps for Android and iOS. The reason is very straightforward, there is
no need to write any platform-specific code to achieve the desired
results in your application. Flutter provides a declarative API for
building UI to improve the performance.
Large Community Support: Developed by Google, Flutter has frequent
updates and issues fixes, as well as there are several meetups to help
both startups and established businesses. The Flutter app
development community is growing at an exponential pace. The
community comprises experts and beginners ready to share Flutter
development knowledge. For such a young technology, there are
several courses on Udemy and Udacity, as well as Facebook
communities.

7. Expressive, beautiful UIs
With Flutter, it is easy to delight your users with built-in beautiful
Material Design and Cupertino (iOS) widgets, motion APIs, seamless
natural scrolling, and platform awareness. The framework offers
distinct widgets, as well as improving the libraries with various
interface components. These distinct widgets allow teams to build
native app on ios and Android much more quickly.

8. Flutter 2: The way from a mobile
framework to a portable framework
With Flutter 2, the horizons get broader. Now use the same codebase
to ship native apps to five operating systems: iOS, Android, Windows,
macOS, and Linux. That’s not about enhancing and improving web
experiences targeting browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or
Edge. Talking about connected and ubiquitous experience, embed
flutter in cars, TVs, and smart home appliances.
Flutter on the web
Flutter 2 is production-quality support for the web.
This initial release focuses on three app:
Progressive web apps (PWAs): Web’s reach in capabilities of a
desktop app.
Single page apps (SPAs) Load once and transmit data to internet
services.

9. Flutter: Case Study
Recently, Google Pay switched to Flutter for their flagship mobile app.
They have already witnessed gains in terms of productivity and
quality. With a unified codebase, the Google team has removed
hassles and inequalities between different platforms and eliminated
half a million lines of code. Coming to efficiency, several processes
such as security reviews and experimentation are cohesive across
both iOS and Android.

14. The list of global companies using Flutter is increasing including
some global names such as Alibaba, Google Ads, Reflectly, BMW and
more. Needless to say, such an impressive client list speaks about
Flutter’s quality.
Finally
Basically, Flutter comes across as a quick way for cross-platform
mobile application development. Future looks bright with the launch
of Flutter 2. Now it comes to the target desktop and web without a
rewrite.
It would not be an exaggeration that in a matter of a few years,
Flutter will officially become the ultimate cross-platform UI
framework.
