(1-6 of 6)- It is powered by Google, so a great technical community is backing it.
- The development of native apps is an easy process using Flutter.
- As it is an open-source tool, we can use it without paying anything.
- It provides nice UI options.
- It still needs stability, there are too many frequent updates.
- It requires learning a new programming language, i.e. Dart. However, one can learn it easily if you have previous experience with JS or any similar language.
- Documentation is too technical.
- We can quickly test and code online via Dartpad for better & quicker development.
- We can build apps with cross-compatibilities using a single codebase.
- It has many widget options for better app development.
- Web applications built using Flutter still need so many improvements, like SEO friendly, server-side and client-side codes.
- Frequent updates are frustrating.
- It is not widely adopted.
My first choice for native app development
- Flutter has one of the greatest user interface in world of mobile app development.
- It offers positive user experience.
- Flutter has a large knowledge base and various tutorials available.
- To use Flutter, we have to learn a new programming language.
- They could offer more theme options to choose from.
- Powered by Google, so reliable technology and great community support.
- Developing cross-platform apps with Flutter is an easy task. It saves a huge time and money.
- Its user interface is quite good and efficient.
- It might be difficult to learn, as it is based on Dart instead of Java or Kotlin.
- As flutter is comparatively new, there are not enough tutorials or samples for all use cases.
- Doesn't work that great for web-based solutions.
- It allows the development of apps for both Android and iOS using a single Codebase.
- It has a great user interface.
- As it is powered by Google, we have the support of a top community of developers.
- As Flutter, by Google is comparatively new in the native development, there are frequent updates and some features occasionally go deprecated.
- It requires a good knowledge of Dart Programming Language.
- Initial setup might be a little bit difficult for beginners.
- Decreases development by half, sometimes more.
- Increases collaboration by providing our developers a shared language and codebase to work with.
- Generally strong performance, with very few noticeable performance drop-offs, compared to native code.
- Extremely strong plugin ecosystem and developer community.
- Occasionally updates to the Flutter SDK result in wide-sweeping changes that seem to not be thoroughly tested and considered. Flutter sometimes evolves too fast for its own good.
- While the 3rd-party Flutter package ecosystem is vast and rich, 1st-party support for basic things (audio/video playback, battery information, Bluetooth services, etc.) are lacking. You are occasionally forced to rely on an open-source package for use-cases that other platforms have native support for.
- Documentation, particularly around testing, is lacking. While there are some great docs, like the Dart Style Guide, many Flutter-focused support documents are lacking in quality and real-world usability.
- Flutter allows you to architect an app however you want. While this is a great feature, it also adds complexity and leads to the current state of Flutter's state management, where there are 50+ options on how to organize your app, with very little official guidance or recommendations from the Flutter team. For a beginner, this can create decision paralysis.
1. When you are looking to achieve a perfect native in-app experience (Flutter feels incredibly close to apps built with native iOS or Android tools, but there are a few areas you can notice the differences).
2. If you require a vast amount of native code to be written (in which case, you can still use Flutter for the UI, but its time-saving benefits drops considerably).
3. If you are only building a single-platform (iOS or Android) app.
