What’s New?
Flutter 1.0 was mainly dealing with mobile applications. Flutter 2.0 has expanded its possibilities becoming a portable framework for building web-based applications. Have you ever thought about what is the factor that makes Flutter so popular? Well, Flutter is used to develop native apps that run on particular operating systems to function on other platforms as well. For ex; an app that runs on an iOS platform can perform on other OS platforms such as Android, Windows, etc. Google’s Dart programming language is used for writing these apps which makes them perfectly run across various platforms with a single codebase.
- Same codebase to shift a native app to 5 different operating systems: Android, macOS, iOS, Windows, Linux
- Expanding web experience by mainly focusing on browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox.
- Flutter is now even smarter. Offering portable functionalities embedded in TV, Smart home appliances, cars, etc.
