What is Flutter?
Flutter is an open-source UI software development kit created by Google. It is used to develop cross-platform applications for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, Google Fuchsia, and the web from a single codebase.
How It Works in a Real-World Project
When a startup wants to launch a mobile app on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store quickly and with a limited budget, Flutter is the perfect choice. We write the code once in the Dart programming language. Flutter then compiles this single codebase into a beautiful, high-performance native application for both iOS and Android. The UI is rendered using Flutter’s own engine, ensuring the look and feel are consistent across all devices.
Why We Use Flutter
We use Flutter to build beautiful, fast, and expressive mobile apps in record time. Its “write once, run anywhere” capability allows us to reduce development time and costs for our clients significantly. The “hot reload” feature enables us to make changes and see them instantly, leading to a more iterative and creative design process.
