Introduction

• In general, creating a mobile application is a very complex and


challenging task. There are many frameworks available, which
provide excellent features to develop mobile applications.
• For developing mobile apps, Android provides a native
framework based on Java and Kotlin language, while iOS
provides a framework based on Objective-C/Swift language.
• Thus, we need two different languages and frameworks to
develop applications for both OS.
• Today, to overcome form this complexity, there are several
frameworks have introduced that support both OS along with
desktop apps.
• These types of the framework are known as cross-platform
development tools.
Introduction

• The cross-platform development framework has the ability to


write one code and can deploy on the various platform
(Android, iOS, and Desktop).
• It saves a lot of time and development efforts of developers.
There are several tools available for cross-platform
development, including web-based tools, such as Ionic from
Drifty Co. in 2013, Phonegap from Adobe, Xamarin from
Microsoft, and React Native form Facebook.
• Each of these frameworks has varying degrees of success in the
mobile industry.
• In recent, a new framework has introduced in the cross-
platform development family named Flutter developed from
Google.
What is Flutter?

• Flutter is a UI toolkit for building fast, beautiful,


natively compiled applications for mobile, web,
and desktop with one programing language and
single codebase.
• It is free and open-source. Initially, it was
developed from Google and now manages by an
ECMA standard.
• Flutter apps use Dart programming language
for creating an app.
What is Flutter?

• The first version of Flutter was announced in


the year 2015 at the Dart Developer Summit.
• It was initially known as codename Sky and can
run on the Android OS. On December 4, 2018,
the first stable version of the Flutter framework
was released, denoting Flutter 1.0.
• The current stable release of the framework is
Flutter v1.9.1+hotfix.6 on October 24, 2019.
What is Flutter?

• Flutter apps use Dart programming language for


creating an app.
• The dart programming shares several same features
as other programming languages, such as Kotlin and
Swift, and can be trans-compiled into JavaScript
code.
• Flutter is mainly optimized for 2D mobile apps that
can run on both Android and iOS platforms.
• We can also use it to build full-featured apps,
including camera, storage, geolocation, network,
third-party SDKs, and more.
What makes Flutter unique?

• Flutter is different from other frameworks because it


neither uses WebView nor the OEM widgets that
shipped with the device.
• Instead, it uses its own high-performance rendering
engine to draw widgets.
• It also implements most of its systems such as
animation, gesture, and widgets in Dart programing
language that allows developers to read, change,
replace, or remove things easily.
• It gives excellent control to the developers over the
system.
Features
Advantages

• It makes the app development process extremely


fast because of the hot-reload feature. This feature
allows us to change or update the code are
reflected as soon as the alterations are made.
• It provides the smoother and seamless scrolling
experiences of using the app without much hangs
or cuts, which makes running applications faster in
comparison to other mobile app development
frameworks.
Advantages

• Flutter reduces the time and efforts of testing. As


we know, flutter apps are cross-platform so that
testers do not always need to run the same set of
tests on different platforms for the same app.
• It has an excellent user interface because it uses a
design-centric widget, high-development tools,
advanced APIs, and many more features.
Advantages

• It is similar to a reactive framework where the


developers do not need to update the UI content
manually.
• It is suitable for MVP (Minimum Viable Product)
apps because of its speedy development process
and cross-platform nature.
Disdvantages

• The Flutter is a comparatively new language that


needs continuous integration support through the
maintenance of scripts.
• It provides very limited access to SDK libraries. It
means a developer does not have a lot of
functionalities to create a mobile application. Such
types of functionalities need to be developed by
the Flutter developer themselves.
Disdvantages

• The Flutter apps do not support the browser. It


only supports Android and iOS platforms.
• It uses Dart programming for coding, so a
developer needs to learn new technologies.
However, it is easy to learn for developers.
History

• Flutter is a free and open-source UI software


development kit introduced by Google. It is used to
build applications for Android, iOS, Windows, and
the web.
• The first version of Flutter was announced in the
year 2015 at the Dart Developer Summit. It was
initially known as codename "Sky" and can run on
the Android OS.
• After the announcement of Flutter, the first Flutter
Alpha version (v-0.06) was released in May 2017.
History

• Later, during the keynote of Google Developer days


in Shanghai, Google launched the second preview
of Flutter in September 2018 that was the last big
release before Flutter 1.0 version.
• On December 4, 2018, the first stable version of the
Flutter framework was released at the Flutter Live
event, denoting Flutter 1.0. The current stable
release of the framework is Flutter v1.9.1+hotfix.6
on October 24, 2019.
