Today in the #rnc_experts section we want to share with you our experience in the world of application development. If you follow innovation, you’ve probably heard of Flutter. Alexander, our expert in Android and now Flutter development, will tell you a few words about this technology and its use by our team.

What is Flutter and what are its advantages

Flutter is one of the most modern and popular mobile application development tools developed and supported by Google. Among its main advantages are the following:

🔹 Cross-platform and one-time development:

Flutter allows you to create applications with the same code for different platforms such as Android, iOS, Web and Desktop. This provides a huge advantage over other technologies that require you to write different code for each platform or use hybrid solutions that reduce application performance and quality.

🔹 Performance and flexibility:

Flutter is based on the Dart programming language, which is fast and flexible. Flutter also uses its own engine to render graphics and widgets. This allows Flutter to provide consistent app design and behavior across all devices, and easily adapt to different screen sizes and orientations.

🔹 Interesting and rich functionality:

Flutter has many interesting features that make app development convenient and enjoyable. For example, Flutter supports hot reloading and code hot swapping, which allow you to see changes to your application in real time without losing state.
Flutter has a rich library of widgets that can be combined and customized. Flutter widgets include scrolling, navigation, icons, and fonts. Flutter also supports animations, gestures, localization, and more.

🔹 Open source:

Speaking about the popularity of Flutter, it is worth noting that it is open and free. This way, you don’t have to waste resources on licensing fees to experiment.

🔹 Native Compatibility:

Another advantage of Flutter is the ability to drag Native code into the project. Implementing native code in Flutter can be useful in cases where you need to use specific device capabilities, such as sensors, camera, geolocation, Bluetooth, or when you need to integrate third-party libraries or frameworks that are written in native languages for iOS and Android.
