Flutter has rapidly gained traction as a preferred choice for mobile app development due to its cross-platform capabilities. Developed by Google, Flutter allows developers to create high-quality, natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. What sets Flutter apart is its use of the Dart programming language, its rich set of pre-designed widgets, and its focus on delivering a consistent and engaging user experience across different platforms.
Traditional methods of app development often involve separate codebases for iOS and Android platforms, leading to duplication of efforts and increased maintenance challenges. Flutter addresses these issues by offering a single codebase that can be used to create apps for both platforms, reducing development time and costs. Its ‘hot reload‘ feature enables real-time updates, allowing developers to see changes instantly without rebuilding the entire app. This not only speeds up the development process but also enhances collaboration between designers and developers.
