5 Reasons Google Flutter Is Better For Mobile App Development
Before exploring the reasons why Flutter is a good choice for app development, let us first understand what Flutter is:
‘Flutter is a new mobile app SDK (Software Development Kit) introduced by Google to develop attractive apps that can run fast on both the platforms Android and iOS.’
Google in the pursuit of simplifying app development introduced this unique app development framework. It is the talk of the town these days and if you are considering using Flutter for your next app development project, the following can help you decide:
Unique Features of Flutter:
· It is a complete framework that comes with required widgets and tools that are fast and customizable as well
· It is free and open-source
· It is based on Dart, a fast object-oriented programming language that can be easily learned
· It comes with inbuilt user interface but you can also customize the app design to make it look and feel great
· It provides native support to both the platforms namely Android and iOS to make it consistent with every user.
Why is Flutter beneficial?
In thus fastest moving mobile app development business, new technologies are always welcomed. This business is ready for the new and upcoming trends in the market and same is the case happening with Google Flutter. We have already discussed the features provided by it to the app developers. So let’s go further to ponder upon the advantages this SDK will provide:
1. Flutter enables developing apps faster:
With the use of Flutter SDK, the developers can make changes in the design code and visualize the results right-away in the app. This feature is termed as ‘hot reload’. It takes milliseconds to experiment with the changes, add features or fix the bugs.
2. Flutter allows to write single code for Android and iOS:
Flutter supports both Android and iOS platforms making the tedious task of developers easy. Developers need to write one code for both the apps and the job is done. The reason is Flutter comes with its own set of widgets and tools. Yet one can differentiate between the two apps.
3. Flutter requires less testing:
Flutter enables one app for two platforms which ultimately means less quality testing. The Quality Assurance process can be carried out much faster than ever. Developers need to write automatic tests only once.
4. Flutter is a reactive framework:
This means one does not need to manually update the content for a user interface. Update in the variables will reflect the changes in UI automatically. It also offers a rich set of library to developers like Dart which is very much similar to JAVA or Swift. Thus, developers have full liberty to use their imagination on 2D and other animations.
5. Flutter allows same app UI on every device version:
The application built using Flutter will look same even on the older versions of Android or iOS. It runs same on Android Jelly Bean or newer version, as well iOS 8 or newer. There are no additional costs for supporting these devices.
Conclusion:
Google Flutter has several advantages for development teams and business. It is worth your time and money to consider using it for your next Android or iOS app development.
