Flutter App Development Company- Why use Flutter to develop apps?

Hybrid mobile app frameworks are winning all over the software industries. Reusable codes, hot reloading, time-saving, cost-effectiveness, are some of the reasons why the developers are using the cross-platform app development frameworks. One such framework for mobile app development is Flutter, by Google and most of the people prefer to develop an app from a flutter app development company. According to a source, Flutter ranks top among the list of the most loved Framework with 75.4% votes.

Introduction to Flutter:

Introduced by Google in 2017, Flutter is an open-source, cross-platform mobile app development framework for building native interfaces on multiple platforms like Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. The Flutter apps are programmed using the Dart language. Apart from this, the release versions of Flutter apps are compiled with AOT (ahead-of-time) compilation on both the platforms namely Android and iOS, which leads to its high performance on mobile devices. Flutter’s engine, that implements Flutter’s core libraries, including animation and graphics, plugin architecture, Dart run time, and many more, is written in C++, which provides low-level rendering support and is a portable run time for hosting apps built with Flutter.

Components of Flutter:

Flutter comprises of two main components:

• A Software Development Kit (SDK): It has a collection of tools that helps to compile the code into native machine code for iOS and Android while developing an app with Flutter.
• A Framework: It also has a collection of reusable UI elements like buttons, text inputs, and sliders that are customizable as per the requirements.

The advantages of developing apps with flutter are:

• Single Code Base: While developing the same app for two different platforms, Flutter enables the developers to write one code for both iOS and Android platforms, thus resulting in feature-rich applications.
• Hot Reloading: Flutter’s Hot Reloading feature or the Just in time compilation feature helps a developer preview all the changes made in a code directly without restarting the app. It gets easy for the developers to find and fix the bugs and add necessary features as per the requirement.
• Time-saving: There are numerous APIs & widgets in Flutter that makes the development of an app quicker.
• Cost-effective: While developing apps with flutter, the development time and a single code base for multiple platforms are the major characteristics which also helps to save a lot of money, thus making it cost-effective.
• Android Studio and VS Code Support: Flutter is available on different IDEs, and the two major code editors for developing with this technology are Android Studio (IntelliJ) and VS Code, which makes it easier for the development apps.
• Documentation: Flutter has highly satisfactory documentation and is very thorough.
• Installation & Setup: Flutter is a winner when it comes to the convenience it offers along with an essential tool to examine the system error, known as Flutter doctor.
• Provides its widgets: Flutter provides its ready-made widgets through which the developers can build the entire UI and can also customize them. It also allows the developers to create their widgets. Each of the widgets defines different structural and stylish elements like button, menu, font, and many others. 
• Open-source: Flutter is an open-source technology with an active community of developers that provide support, and develop helpful resources.

Disadvantages of Flutter:

Everything has some limitations, and so do is the development of apps with Flutter, there are only a few disadvantages, and they are:

• Mobile-only: Flutter serves mobile apps only and does not support web browsers. It doesn’t offer maximum device flexibility.
• Limited libraries: Google fully supports Flutter, and there are libraries with ready-to-implement functionalities. But the developers might still build the libraries by themselves, which results in consuming much of the time.
• Limited TV support: The apps built with the help of Flutter practically doesn’t support on Android or Apple TV.
