iOS and Android possess almost the same codebase with similar user interface views and user experiences. It was the sole reason that the tech giant Google came up with Future of Flutter one of the best Cross-platform app development frameworks to date.

You are kind of aware of this amazing framework. It is none other than the world-famous Flutter. One of the best features of Flutter is that anyone with basic knowledge can learn it. And that is because of the Dart programming language, which is optimized for fast apps on any platform.

Flutter is now growing at a rapid and steady pace. That’s because most developers have shifted from single-platform to cross-platform app development frameworks.

It allowed Flutter to be a strong competitor for other SDKs/frameworks globally and has sparked a new life and vision for cross-platform mobile app development technology. Because of this shift, Flutter now has a strong presence in the international market. The other great thing about Flutter is that it is an open-source SDK.

It seems that everyone is talking about apps using these particular technologies or comparing Flutter with React Native (one of the strongest competitors of Flutter). It is easy to guess since they both are a bit “exotic” for most software developers.

Several startups and SMMEs have provided innovative and robust digital solutions using Flutter. And brands such as Google Ads, Hookle, Tencent, etc., have exclusively used Flutter SDK to accelerate their business. Also, all over the globe, mobile app development technology is continuously leaning towards unprecedented trends for mobile app development, from scripts, codes, and app development platforms to integration, development methods, and ways to deploy a completed project. These trends are going through an unforeseen transformation.

Keep reading; you will explore why there is a future with Flutter as a framework for any mobile app development company.

Why is Flutter growing in popularity?

According to a survey conducted by Jet Brains, 43% of app developers are involved in cross-platform app development. Businesses are looking to deploy their apps across multiple devices, which would save them time, and costs and reduce the need of assigning different teams to different platforms. This is where Flutter has provided a powerful solution to these businesses.

Flutter has already gained a lot of traction in the developer community due to its powerful capabilities, but there’s still plenty of potential for it to grow even further.

We will take a look at certain advantages Flutter promises that will keep it relevant over the coming years:

Cross-Platform Advantage

Flutter enables cross-platform app development. It gives developers an easy way to build and deploy visually appealing, natively-compiled mobile (both Android and iOS), web, and desktop using the same codebase. Flutter allows your app development teams to work in cohesion.

When building apps natively, you would need separate teams working on Android and iOS. However, with Flutter, you do not need segregated teams for both platforms as developers can build apps using the codebase. This allows you to organize your teams around app features instead of platforms.

Develop highly responsive apps

Flutter is a mobile development framework that is making waves in the world of app development. Flutter is different from other mobile development frameworks in that it takes user input more seriously. It is designed specifically for developing apps that are highly interactive and rapid. Flutter apps are also more responsive and faster.

Why is this important? For a start, responsiveness is incredibly important when it comes to mobile devices. Users are impatient and want their apps to work quickly and efficiently. Additionally, Flutter apps tend to be more engaging because they are designed to be interactive and fun. This means that users will spend more time using them and this ultimately leads to increased revenue.

Flutter, unlike React Native, does not require bridges between code and native elements and can be compiled directly into native code. This reduces processing times and makes the app faster. The Skia Graphics Library smoothly also delivers 60 frames per second.

Excellent User Interface

Flutter makes developing UI/UXapps very simple compared to other mainstream development platforms like iOS or Android. This allows you to focus on what matters most — creating an awesome app! User-friendly designs:

Flutter has its own set of custom widgets, rendered and managed by the framework’s graphics engine. This makes it easier for the user to customize and create their own widgets.

Flutter is ideal for creating visually appealing mobile app interfaces and a great user experience. Creating UIs from the most basic to more complex interfaces with multiple components is almost effortless with Flutter.

Hot Reloading

A hot reload is a great functionality present in a flutter. It is the easiest and the fastest function that helps you apply changes, fix bugs, create UIs, and add features. It takes approximately one second to perform its functionality. In hot reload it does not destroy the preserved state.

Hot reloading’ (faster development) means that developers can make changes to the code on the go and it will take only milliseconds for the changes to display. This makes bug resolution and experimentation easier.

Flutter Web is growing

There are a number of reasons why Flutter is a good choice for web development. Flutter apps are “much faster” than traditional web apps. This is due to the use of the LOD rendering and the ease of use of the platform.

Flutter also has a “host of features that web developers are accustomed to, such as hot reloading, widgets, and routing.” This makes it easy to transition between developing Flutter apps and traditional web apps. Flutter also has “a rich platform library” which means that it is possible to create apps that look and feel like traditional apps.

Easy to learn Dart

Flutter is based on Dart language, a general-purpose object-oriented programming language. The latest version Dart 2.17 was released at the recently concluded Google I/O. It is a modern object-oriented language this is very easy for developers familiar with C++, Python, or Java since these languages share similar syntax.
