Google launched its portable UI Toolkit Flutter 1.0 during its Flutter Live<\/a>\u00a0conference in London.\u00a0Flutter 1.0<\/a>\u00a0is a mobile development platform allowing its user to write apps that share a single code base across iOS and Android with a Native User Interface.<\/p>\n

\"announcing<\/p>\n

During the launch, many compared Flutter to React Native by Facebook. React Native relies on JavaScript while Flutter relies on Dart, Google\u2019s in-house programming language, to avoid the need for JavaScript bridge to initiate interactions with the native services by the OS platform. Dart is easy to write codes in and therefore comes with a shorter learning curve compared to JavaScript.<\/p>\n

According to a Google\u00a0post, Flutter enables the \u201cultimate realization\u201d of Material Design, Google\u2019s own design language for Android, to create a foundation for user interfaces;\u00a0thus \u201cenables users to build beautiful apps.\u201d\u00a0The platform is powered by hardware-accelerated Skia 2D that allows lightning speed transitions.<\/p>\n

Flutter is free and an open source with a BSD-style license, and includes the contributions of hundreds of developers from around the world. It also develops a new capability for developers and designers to iterate on their apps in real time.<\/p>\n

Flutter 1.0 is the first stable release of the platform. The new version focused on stabilization and bug fixes. It also added new features such as Dart 2.1, Add to App, and Platform Views.<\/p>\n

Dart 2.1 is an update to Dart which provides smaller code sizes, faster type checks, and better usability for type errors.\u00a0 According to an\u00a0announcement\u00a0by Google, Dart 2.1 version reduced minified output size by 17% and improved compilation time by 15%.<\/p>\n

Add to App is a feature that will let users add Flutter easily to an existing app. Currently, the feature is in preview since the APIs and tooling are still in development.<\/p>\n

Platform Views enables the inclusion of an Android or iPhone platform control in a Flutter app. For this to work, Google developed two platform view widgets, AndroidView and UiKitView. Android support is still in preview and will soon support iOS as well.<\/p>\n

Flutter can be used for both UI and backend instead of using one technology stack for UI and one stack for business logic. It is also aimed to reduce a lot of code as there are customizations and pre-defined libraries available in the Flutter SDK.<\/p>\n

Google also announced Hummingbird, a web-based implementation of the Flutter runtime which enables Flutter code to run on the standards-based web without change.<\/p>\n
