Flutter is an open-source SDK by Google that enables developers to create natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase, thus saving time and resources. It addresses common challenges in cross-platform app development, such as time constraints, increased development costs, and the need for more developers by allowing the creation of apps for both iOS and Android simultaneously. Flutter's powerful features, including a graphics library and support for the Dart language, make it particularly beneficial for startups looking to enhance user acquisition across multiple platforms.

Flutter is an open-source UI software development kit (SDK) created by Google.

It allows developers to build natively compiled applications for mobile (iOS,


Android), web, and desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) from a single codebase.
Essentially, Flutter enables you to write code once and deploy it across multiple
platforms,
saving time and resources.

These apps are made for Apple devices and wear. iOS apps are made using the Swift
language. The iOS apps have an extension of .ipa.

2. Android Apps:
These apps are made for Android devices and wear. Android apps are made using Java
and Kotlin, with an extension of .apk. Many app developers who had to work in a
cross-platform work environment, and are responsible for the development of both
Android and iOS apps, found it a difficult and lengthy process to develop apps for
both platforms. The major problems encountered by companies and developers were:

No Cross-Platform Dependency: iOS and Android apps work very differently


internally, so the developers had to redesign and reconfigure the same content for
individual platforms.
Time Constraints: Making a professional app, from coding to designing, requires a
lot of time. Companies usually set a time limit by which the app should be ready to
be launched into the market. Those developers who had to work on both these
platforms often found time limit issues, and the efficiency and quality of work
degraded.
More Employees: This problem was encountered by companies. Since they have to
develop an app for both platforms, a greater number of app developers who know
about the individual platform had to be hired.
Development Cost: Since the app has to be made individually for both platforms, the
cost of development will increase, as more developers will be required.
Since the launch of Flutter in May 2017, it has resolved many of the existing
problems in the app development industry. Flutter is a powerful technology, or we
can say a tool backed by the Dart language, packed with a powerful mobile framework
that can be used in both iOS and Android applications. Flutter is often used with
DART, which is an object-oriented programming language by Google.

The Flutter development tools come with a graphics library and material design, and
the Cupertino design allows faster operations of the app and also gives the app a
stunning look, irrespective of its operating platform! The biggest advantage of
Flutter is that it can be used to create cross-platform apps. Using Flutter, one
can create iOS apps, Android apps, Websites, and much cross-platform software in
just one go, there is no need to write code for different platforms.

Why is Flutter a boon for Startups and Companies?


The main goal of any company is to acquire more customers, and in the case of app
startups, their main concern is to increase user acquisition, irrespective of the
platform (iOS or Android). Many startups that either provide their services via an
app or startups which are completely dependent on app, must decide whether they
would like to have the app in the native format or would have an app that could be
used irrespective of the operating platform. Apps that are of native format are
required to be developed individually for every platform. The majority of the
startups require an app that could work on different mobile platforms in one go,
and so the role of flutter comes into the picture.
