Flutter is now the talk of the town when it comes to the cross platform mobile app development. To run seamlessly on both iOS and Android Platforms Flutter has grabbed its place in the top lists of cross platform technologies.
Flutter is an open-source UI software development kit created by Google in May 2017. It is used to develop cross platform applications for Android, iOS, Linux, Mac, Windows, Google Fuchsia and the web from a single codebase. Flutter works with existing code, is used by developers and organizations around the world. Flutter is based on Dart programming language and React Programming Architecture that supports Android Studio, Firebase APIs, inline videos & ads, and offers development of high-performance applications. It’s more like an SDK for applications designed for touch screen devices that work well with iOS and Android. Flutter is not a framework, but it’s a complete SDK — Software Development Kit, which already contains everything you will need to build cross-platform applications.
Our organization specifically chose the flutter application because we want to provide the best quality our clients. The prime reason of using this app is that it’s a cross application which means the application can work both in android and IOs. Flutter is easier to access and its features are developed and advanced.
Advantages?
Let’s dive into the advantages of flutter:
1. Hot reload:
Best Feature that developers and designers can easily identify all the changes and improvements that have been made to the code right away in the app. It strengthens a bond between developers and designers when they are looking for improvements on how the app looks and checks effect immediately.
minimum amount of time with Flutter.
“I wanted to test the hot reloading, so I changed a color, saved my modification, and… fell in love ❤️ ! “
“This feature is really amazing. I thought the Edit & Continue in Visual Studio was good, but this is simply astounding. Only with this, I think a mobile developer can be two times more productive.”
1. High performance:
There are many components that impact the performance of an application which includes CPU usage, frame number per second and many more. Flutter presents 60 fps performance and 120 fps on devices capable of acquiring 120Hz updates.
“This is really a game changer for me. When I deploy my code and it takes a long time, I lose my focus, I do something else and when I come back to the simulator/device I have lost track of what I wanted to test. What’s more frustrating than losing 5 minutes to move a control by 2px? With Flutter this no longer exists.”
1. Faster Code Development:
It is the major concern for every developer to write code faster and clean. It is where cross platform development comes into the picture. Flutter allows developers to reuse the single codebase to speed up the development for multiple platforms.
2. Custom Widgets:
The fact that Flutter has its own widgets gives you one big advantage. Flutter already provides widgets that perfectly follow Android’s Material Design and Apple’s Cupertino looks. The UI customization that usually takes the longest to finish in cross-platform development takes a
minimum amount of time with Flutter.

Why flutter uses Dart?
Dart is the only mainstream language that is well suited to being compiled both Ahead of time (AOT) and Just in Time(JIT). Supporting both kinds of compilation provides significant advantages to Dart and especially Flutter. JIT compilation is used during development, using a compiler that is especially fast. Then, when an app is ready for release, it is compiled AOT. Consequently, with the help of advanced tooling and compilers, Dart can deliver the best of both worlds: extremely fast development cycles, and fast execution and startup times. In terms of flutter, most popular features of Flutter is its extremely fast hot reload. During development, it uses a JIT compiler that can reload and continue executing code usually in under a second. App state is retained across reloads whenever possible, so the app can continue from where it left off. Another benefit of Dart is that Flutter doesn’t split layout between your program or layout language like JSX or XML, nor does it require separate visual layout tools.
“In Flutter, layouts are defined using Dart code only. There is no XML / templating language. There’s no visual designer/storyboarding tool either.”
“Flutter uses the Dart Language that was created by google also, to be honest I’m not a fan of strongly typed languages like C# or JAVA, but I don’t know why Dart’s way of writing code seems different. And I feel very comfortable writing it. Maybe because it’s very simple to learn, and very straightforward.”
Future of Flutter:
The name of the future is Fuchsia. Fuchsia is an operating system first comes in light 2016 created by Google. The idea behind this new operating system is that to make a universal operating system that can run at the same time on all the platforms like mobile phones, laptops etc. Most fascinating thing about the fuchsia is that it is not based on Linux. Google built its own microkernel from scratch known as Zircon.
Another interesting thing about the fuchsia operating system is that it supports Dart language and also there’s a possibility of taking a leap on Fuchsia’s development through Google Flutter. Hence, it is important to acquire basic knowledge of Flutter. When creating an application, flutter makes a way for creating advanced applications. It means that when Fuchsia launches, the flutter developers with can move their existing application to the new platform without any hindrances. For Android and iOS users, it will be a difficult for them compiling an existing application for a brand new platform. But through Flutter, developers will be able to make the new development of the robust library of apps transitioning to Fuchsia. It is expected that Fuchsia is going to make its way to the smartphone market by 2023. As technology upgrades, the chances of Fuchsia replacing Android within the next 10 years or so rises. It will be a wise decision to delve into the concept of transition.
We can see that the interest in Flutter has risen significantly in 2020 and is growing rapidly. Flutter offers many features that can help us develop beautiful looking mobile applications, with a better user experience, and do it faster — letting you save more time and money.
As we all know that google is the biggest social engine & now it’s having their own operating system with the use of Flutter. This makes the future of flutter very secure as all the flutter applications will be directed towards google operating as well. Hence, giving more value & impact.
