What\u2019s the need to develop the same app twice on both iOS and Android or go for a cross-platform app development framework that makes it difficult to get native experience that customers demand when you have Flutter? No need to compromise with the productivity, quality and user experience for your cross-platform app! Get the same native experience, advanced visuals and high-performance with a Flutter app that too at less investment and time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>What is Flutter: Let\u2019s Know the Basics<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Flutter enables developers to build cross-platform\u00a0mobile apps smoothly and in record time. You don\u2019t need to write codes for an iOS and Android app separately. A single codebase\u00a0and expressive UI designs enable high-velocity development of any application. It runs on Google\u2019s Dart programming language that is very similar to Java, JavaScript and C#. The main advantages of Flutter for app development are its reactive views and use of widgets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>What are the Features of Flutter<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">It is based on\u00a0Dart\u00a0object-oriented programming language\u00a0which is easy to learn and code. The architecture of Flutter is based on the reactive programming, which is similar to React Native.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Flutter enables\u00a0faster &amp; more dynamic mobile app development due to its Hot Reload feature. Developers can make changes in the code and see them right away.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Flutter has its own highly scalable and expressive widgets and high-performance rendering engine, which is customizable and fast.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Flutter apps\u00a0look and feel great, thanks to its readily available UI elements, animation tools and effective portable GPU rendering UI power.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The Google Flutter has an extensive array of Integrated Development Environment, including Xcode, Visual Studio Code and\u00a0Android Studio.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Android app developers use\u00a0Kotlin or Java\u00a0language for app coding, whereas iOS developers use Swift or Objective C. Flutter allows developers to reuse the codes within the framework.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0The Quality Testing of apps is also faster.\u00a0The\u00a0developers write automatic tests only once and testers will have to check only one app.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Flutter is also equipped with native ARM (Advanced RISC Machines) code. Google Flutter beta version readily supports Apple\u2019s new OS version\u00a0iOS 11\u00a0and iPhone X.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Flutter is perfect for Minimum Viable Product Development. You can build a cross-platform app faster and show it to your investors.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>What makes Flutter better than other cross-platform app development frameworks?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Flutter has surpassed the popularity that React Native has created with its amazing features. Here is a list of advantages that businesses get with Flutter:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Based on Dart language which is similar to Java, developers can easily make cross-platform apps using Flutter.
