Software Development News Google launched the first stable release of its open-source mobile development toolkit during Flutter Live in London
Google announced the launch of Flutter 1.0 today during its Flutter Live event in London. This is the first stable release of Google’s cross-platform mobile development toolkit. It features improved pixel-perfect application support and new widgets for iOS, smaller application sizes, improved app performance and previews of the Add to App and platform views features.
The free and open-source platform’s major focus is on UI and creating “beautiful” applications, Tim Sneath, group product manager for Flutter, wrote in a blog post. This can come at the cost of performance, but Sneath says that Flutter’s use of native codebases for ARM on both iOS and Android and hardware acceleration strikes a good balance.
“We want to enable designers to deliver their full creative vision without being forced to water it down due to limitations of the underlying framework,” Sneath wrote.
