Flutter, Google’s cross-platform UI toolkit for developing mobile and desktop apps, is getting a modest but essential upgrade at the company’s I/O conference today. Google also stated that Flutter currently powers 200,000 applications on the Play Store alone, including prominent applications from firms like WeChat, ByteDance, BMW, Grab and DiDi. In reality, Google reports that Flutter applications are now one in eight new apps in the Play Store.
The launch of Flutter 2.2 follows Google’s launch of the new Flutter 2 update. The launch of Flutter 2.2 was the first one in March to provide support for desktop and mobile applications. The upgrade expands in several ways on version 2 features introduced by the company and increases its stability and performance.
Version 2.2 made zero security the norm of adding support against zero reference exceptions, for example, for new ventures. For results, web apps can now use background caching for service staff, for instance, while Android apps can use late components and iOS applications can use pre-compiled shaders to smoother first runs.
Google has also been working to streamline Flutter’s overall processes (Windows, macOS and Linux)
However, as Google says, there is a lot of work in the ecosystem right now. Google itself is launching a new Flutter payment plugin in collaboration with the Google Pay team, and supporting adaptive banner formats for Google’s ad SDK for Flutter is being provided. Samsung currently carries Flutter to Tizen, and Sony is trying to add Flutter to Linux. Adobe recently revealed the alpha flutter support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP) applications for Windows 10 in alphabetic format for its Flutter plugins for its design tool & Microsoft.
