It also works as a cross-platform framework with a collection of reusable UI elements like buttons, sliders, etc., that can be tailored to precise business requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Google released the latest <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliapple.co.uk\/blog\/update-flutter-3-19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-color=\"transparent\">update Flutter 3.19<\/span><\/a><span data-color=\"transparent\">, on February 15, 2024. The new version comes with several security and performance enhancements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliapple.co.uk\/mobile-app-development-agency\">Mobile app developers UK<\/a> can use Flutter along with the same programming language and codebase to create two different apps for iOS and Android both. This helps to save costs and quickly launch ideas to the target audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Do you know what apps use Flutter? Globally popular apps like Google Ads and Alibaba are built using Flutter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Before we learn how to create an app with Flutter, let\u2019s explore why you should use this framework.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_use_Flutter_for_app_development\"><\/span><span data-color=\"transparent\">Why use Flutter for app development?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">There are various benefits of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliapple.co.uk\/flutter-app-development\">Flutter app development<\/a>, such as cost-effective solutions, high-quality performance, and quick launching ideas. Some of the key reasons to use Flutter are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Helps_you_save_time_and_money\"><\/span><span data-color=\"transparent\">1. Helps you save time and money<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">An app development agency can use the Flutter tool to make cross-platform apps. This means you do not have to hire two teams to launch apps on iOS and Android. Apps built with Flutter can run on multiple platforms and also on the web.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Power-packed_performance\"><\/span><span data-color=\"transparent\">2. Power-packed performance<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Flutter development is based on the Dart programming and makes use of inbuilt widgets. Dart ensures minimal communication between the app and the platform. This means the mobile app offers quick startup and has fewer performance issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">This is one of the reasons why Flutter has gained more popularity than other frameworks like React Native, Ionic, etc. Additionally, the <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliapple.co.uk\/blog\/flutter-vs-react-native\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-color=\"transparent\">Flutter vs React Native<\/span><\/a><span data-color=\"transparent\"> comparison also concludes Flutter is the most popular cross-platform framework, beating others in the race of technologies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_High_Compatibility\"><\/span><span data-color=\"transparent\">3. High Compatibility<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">The availability of own widgets in Flutter helps to eliminate the chances of compatibility issues. Mobile app developer UK can focus more on implementing ideas and do not have to worry about application performance on different OS and their future versions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Open-source\"><\/span><span data-color=\"transparent\">4. Open-source<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Both Dart programming language and Futter framework are free to use and completely open-source. This provides greater flexibility in tailoring unique user interfaces. There\u2019s also an abundance of support and extensive documentation available for the Flutter SDK.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Faster_Time-to-Market_Ideas\"><\/span><span data-color=\"transparent\">5.
