Why Flutter is the most popular cross-platform mobile SDK

Why Flutter is the most popular cross-platform mobile SDK.
Running a development team for each mobile platform sucks up resources from other work. Flutter is the most popular way for one development team to build on all platforms.

Flutter is Platform-friendly

Focusing on a single native application misses a significant portion of the market and limits the app’s potential future success. Separate native programs, on the other hand, might be time-consuming and expensive to develop.

Flutter makes developing for multiple platforms a breeze. Rather than writing code for each platform separately, developers can use Flutter’s one codebase.

However, Flutter’s cross-platform adaptability extends beyond code portability. Flutter-built user interfaces (UI) are also platform-agnostic, unlike other cross-platform frameworks like React Native and Xamarin, because Flutter’s Skia rendering engine does not require any platform-specific UI components.

Saves Time

Flutter includes a number of capabilities that enable developing cross-platform mobile apps easier and faster. The ability to use a single codebase and UI engine for cross-platform development, for example, decreases the time and work required to create versions of an app for Android and iOS.

These two are the major factors that developers and entrepreneurs are choosing flutter over other languages. Many on-demand business models are developed with flutter.

Dart is not so bad, sure it’s not a super fancy language but it’s kind nice.
It looks like a “light” Java/C#, less verbose though.
Between JS and Dart, I would pick up Dart …

Same here. I want to start learning Flutter, but I am not sure if I want to learn Dart. :smiley:
