Did you ever think of an SDK that would make mobile app development a breezy affair for the Android app developers all around the world? Well, if you are stepping into a cross-platform app development, you should be very much sure about it as it’s going to be even in more demand than ever before. Not only it helps to accomplish iOS development and Android development hand-in-hand but also saves a ton of time in coding.
Moreover, the advanced technologies that are being deployed to create unique apps with awesome features for smartphones are commendable and Flutter is one such tool.
What is Flutter SDK by the way in mobile app development?
Before we move on to the things that are really helping the app developers to nail the app development process, let us know more about Flutter...
Flutter has kind of a past until it got finally released by Google. The Alpha build of Flutter was first revealed in Google I/O in the year 2017. The first Beta version was released in the year 2018 in Mobile World Congress. The good news was that now the companies can actually deploy this technology for developing full-fledged Android apps for their clients.
We will be focusing more on the Beta 2 version of Flutter- which has been released just a few days ago in the past month of April. It provides more advanced features that would take the development process in Android to the next level possible for sure.
What is Flutter?
It is definitely the latest SDK that has been launched by Google to create dynamic and robust high-end hybrid apps as it facilitates cross-platform mobile app development.
Cross-platform app development! What is that?
It simply means that an app created in a single codebase can be run on Android platforms as well as iOS platform. The developers don’t have to work on developing apps for Android and iPhone separately.
Not that it runs on Java and C#, it runs on Dart language. Dart is a language that Google has developed on its own just like Swift is created by the iOS developers of Apple inc.
No doubt, Flutter is actually getting popular with the developers worldwide because this is “kind-of-new” tool, very dynamic and saves a ton of time.
Some Ultimate Features of Flutter Beta 2 version:
So, we see the all new improved Flutter in Beta2 version and we discussed the major ones above.
Let’s now have a look at how Flutter can aptly replace any other cross-platform app development tool!
Flutter is high-quality native interfaces on iOS and Android:
Supported by Dart: The fast and furious programming language!
As we already mentioned that Dart is actually the better replacement or alternative of Java- a very popular mobile app development programming language. Just except the fact that Dart is created by Google. The development process becomes faster with Flutter as compared to Java, especially when it's about cross-platform development. 60 FPS is supported.
Step-by-step Clear Documentation keeps the things easy:
React Native- developed by Facebook is no good choice for the beginners when it comes to learn things initially. It is because one doesn’t find a very impressive documentation to follow.
However, with Dart and Flutter, you are ensured of the documentation that really helps!
Moreover, the advanced technologies that are being deployed to create unique apps with awesome features for smartphones are commendable and Flutter is one such tool.

Some Ultimate Features of Flutter Beta 2 version:
- Installation is as easy as ABC: The installation process was not easy in the earlier versions of Flutter and so it was much needed for those in the iOS development or any mobile app development. As cloning process was necessary in the Beta 1 version earlier, it was a bit slow with the installation process. Now, that they have come bucked up with the new version , there is extremely fast installation through downloading and extracting the installation archive whether it’s Windows, macOS, and Linux!
- Just the Best Developer SDK Tool: A variety of new improvements has been shown by the Flutter team with M23 tools milestone and that includes our very own IntelliJ as well as Android Studio getting a very much new ‘Outline view’. It is going to offer a structured tree view of UI widgets. However, this is available in the build method. To further add to this, we also see a support for the ‘Format on Save’ facility.
- Optimized and Structured: The asset system that Flutter has come up with is optimized to a great extent. This optimization and structure is much needed in iPhone development as well as Android development. Isn’t it?
- There is no need for unnecessary extraction of assets so it leads to faster app launch than before in Beta 1 version of Flutter.
- Plugins are now capable to access asset and that too from the native side of it in the mobile app development process.
- Fast Synching: Beta2 version of Flutter is all about the fast and robust synching process. With the very handy and hassle-free Dart 2 as the default in Flutter mobile app development process, developers can now get fast async calls, and a rich type system along with that.
So, we see the all new improved Flutter in Beta2 version and we discussed the major ones above.
