We built our android app in Flutter, and new segmented features get added into our native iOS app. For actual development Flutter is great, although not quite stable (Dart becoming statically typed overnight, lots of breaking changes, limited, though evolving stock widgets).
I don’t think it’s ready for production apps. Lots of issues integrating into analytics tools, support frameworks, etc. At best, writing wrappers, at worst, not possible. These issues exist in react native as well, and will only improve over time.
Definitely great to learn/enterprise/prototypes. The dart crew is also fantastic, met many of them after google IO. -
This is really good man! You have inspired me to learn flutter.
@senzory brother that rant was a shitstorm against you. I am on your side on it. Sad the community acted so against you on it. -
This is tempting me to work harder on flutter my self, but I still like native lol
React failed to convince me, let's see if flutter does -
Jere7186yI spent the last week searching for a good cross platform environment. So far i have tried flutter, native script and react native.
Now im very confused and don't know wich is the best. Or if we should just create two native apps... The app should not be that big. Only for reading/writing data over BLE.
At first Flutter looked good to me. But this UI building concept seems to be hard work.. And it doesn't seems suitable for like MVVM..
Would you really prefer Flutter for app development? -
@Jere totally depends on factors like the app you are building, the time you have, the liberty you want with the implementation and the amount of money you want to spend on development. Flutter is a great option but you need to understand that it is not Android SDK, it uses dart. But it gives you two apps, one for Android and iOS each.

Jere7186y@samarthagarwal We decided to use react-native because we wanted to write native bluetooth code. By now we don't regret it.

The more time I get to play with Flutter, the more I am enjoying it. Google mentioned in their Udacity course that the best way to learn is to try and build an app that you use daily. So, I spent my Sunday building a UI clone of Facebook.
Are you also trying Flutter? What are your views?
