Applications for iOS and Android can be made with it. Dart, an object-oriented programming language developed by Google, is the primary language employed by the framework. December 2017 saw the introduction of Flutter 1. It may be used to construct apps for Android, iOS, and Flutter for both platforms and runs on the Dart Virtual Machine (Dart VM). In May 2018, Flutter 2 was launched. Like Flutter 1, it may be used to make applications for both iOS and Android. However, it includes more functionality than Flutter 1, such as inline errors and global hot reloading. It is still in alpha testing as of this writing. Features like global hot reloading and inline errors that weren’t included in Flutter 1 are present in Flutter 2. It cannot, however, make use of the same plugins as Flutter 1.

Three Benefits of Flutter 2 Though the release of Flutter 2 is recent, it’s possible that you might be skeptical about using this for your next project. Performance and Stability Improvements The release of Flutter 2 has mostly become the talk of the town. In order to improve efficiency and stability, Flutter 1 was developed using Google’s native cross-platform development language. However, Flutter 2 will still be superior to Flutter 1 because it has been developed with extensive string concatenation and numeric literals enabled by the Dart 2 compiler.
