Abstract

In an era where smartphones have become commonplace and everyone seems to own one, the question that most of the businesses state is: how do we make amazing apps, with little money and not so much hassle. This paper investigates flutter about which is Google’s solution for this development problem. With practice-based instances as well as contextual understanding, we demonstrate how developers have utilized Flutter to build amazing apps for iOS, Android Phones and even desktop computers – all with a single code base. Our study moves past the standard technical accolades and considers the impact of Flutter on the structure of projects: how it is revolutionizing inter-team cooperation, its greatest attributes, and sometimes, its biggest weaknesses. From the scope of the startups that have been successful to the larger enterprises that have adopted, we examine what is and what is not appealing about Flutter and why some developers find Hot Reload advantageous while others find the learning with Dart problematic. Based on actual developer stories and existing dynamics in the market, we provide quite an agreeable viewpoint on what Flutter means for the future of application development, especially in the context of shifting mobile trends. In case you are a developer or a business decision maker assessing the options in technology, this paper tries to deal with realistic issues relevant to the place of Flutter and its solutions in the app development.
