Digitalization has transformed how we run our errands and do our chores, especially after hitting Covid-19 in 2020. Right from groceries to food, everything gets delivered in a few minutes at your fingertips. Mobile applications have enhanced customer experience to another level with more advanced technologies, such as augmented reality, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, IoT, and so much more.
Speaking of which, not alone these advancements but also choosing the right framework for your mobile app is just as crucial to delivering an exceptional user experience. And it is not hidden that a terribly-designed app will not only lead to higher churn rates but also a loss to your business and brand image.
Henceforth, we come to the topic of native app development and cross-platform app development. And the most popular cross-platform app development framework these days is - Flutter. A top flutter development company will ensure to deliver a world-class mobile app with perfect features and functionalities that best suits the needs of your app users. Before we go on to discuss flutter, let’s give you a brief introduction to native app development and flutter app development. Introduction to Native App Development Native applications are exclusively developed and designed for a specific operating system, for example, Android, iOS, or Windows. Here, developers write code for a specific platform, and the same code cannot be used for another platform as well, unlike cross-platform app development. Native app development is perfect when you want to deliver services only on one platform and superior user experience when it comes to the look and feel of the app. This type of development enables app developers to access and add more features to the app. However, this development type will cost you a fortune if you wish to capture more audience in terms of various operating systems. If you wish to launch your app on multiple platforms, it is best to leverage cross-platform app development services. Introduction to Flutter App Development Flutter is a Google-based SDK that enables you to easily and quickly build mobile applications for Android and iOS using a single codebase. It has gained momentum very quickly post alpha launch in May’17. As per studies, this is the most popular cross-platform app development kit used by app developers all over the world. Flutter uses the Dart programming language, which is also created by Google and launched in October’11. This language has seen significant progressions in the past couple of years. Dart programming language focuses on creating web page layouts, and it is used to build web and mobile apps. Advantages of Flutter App Development Awesome User-Interface Feature-rich UI is one of the great features of this cross-platform framework. Flutter enables app developers to create stunning mobile applications with adaptable and responsive UX. Also, it offers app developers a wide range of ready-made UI components for each platform. Less Coding Flutter uses Google-created Dart language that is assembled straight into the ARM code of smartphones, helping accelerate apps and enabling faster release. Moreover, this framework simplifies app developers’ work via its 3rd party integration and single codebase. Hot Reload This excellent feature allows developers to fix issues, add the latest functions, and do some experiments rapidly. This feature is also helpful for app developers and designers’ coordination. Hot reload allows app developers to do trial and error with the app’s appearance and check the results instantly. Faster Compared to Other Frameworks Flutter app development is quicker compared to any other framework & language. Hence, it takes lesser time to develop your mobile app with flutter using less money and energy. With this, you can launch your app sooner than planned. Amazing Widgets This is another essential quality of this open-source framework. Flutter uses pre-designed widgets, guaranteeing a compatible design model. And since these widgets are Google-created, they render top-notch quality and are high-performing than other cross-platform frameworks. Customization This cross-platform SDK consists of a high-performing graphic tool, Skia, also leveraged by top companies like Adobe, Amazon Kindle, and Chrome. Skia enables app developers to design customized applications that render exceptional user experience on iOS and Android platforms. What makes Flutter UNIQUE than other Frameworks?
How will Flutter Possibly Replace Native App Development? Several frameworks have a specific lifetime during which they offer their best, but as new modern tools come along, the old ones get obsolete, like Native app development. Moreover, 2021 is proof of the rising statistics of flutter usage that shows 12 percent growth in 2021 than in 2019. There are high-level chances that Flutter will supplant Native app development in upcoming times. Although native app development in Swift, Java, Kotlin will persist, there are expectations of app migration and some indispensable transformations in the current market. Moreover, Flutter has set itself as the top UI design framework available in the market currently. It renders a wide variety of rare design features and creative widgets that aren’t available elsewhere. Final Thoughts Flutter can be the possible future of the mobile app development process. Google has come up with this robust framework and has certainly had some phenomenal features not to be found in other frameworks. Besides using a single codebase, this SDK has a lot to offer, as mentioned in this article. It is still not 100% certain that Flutter has completely replaced Native app development, but more or less, it has taken over a vast market share. Hence, if you plan to build a spectacular mobile app catering to a massive audience base, consider using this open-source framework for your project. Time and again, Flutter has proved that it is the right fit for today’s modern-age mobile applications. About the author:
