Introduction
In general, creating a mobile application is a very complex and challenging task. There are many
frameworks available, which provide excellent features to develop mobile applications.
• For developing mobile apps, Android provides a native framework based on Java and Kotlin
language, while iOS provides a framework based on Objective-C/Swift language.
• Thus, we need two different languages and frameworks to develop applications for both OS.
• Today, to overcome this complexity, there are several frameworks that support both OS along
with desktop apps.
• These types of the framework are known as cross-platform development tools.

Introduction
Flutter is an open-source UI software development kit created by Google. It can be
used to develop cross platform applications from a single codebase for the web,
Fuchsia, Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Flutter is used internally by Google in apps such as Google Pay and Google Earth as well
as other software developers including ByteDanceand Alibaba.
