Developers know flutter as a platform by Google to let them create beautiful portable apps, quickly, for any platform. On 3rd March 2021, mobile app development saw a transition to the next level with the launch of Flutter 2.0.

Flutter two gives one of the most versatile and convenient experiences by allowing the developer to use the same codebase to ship native apps across five different operating systems viz. Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS. This is with similar web experiences in browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari & Edge. Not only that, the apps can now be used with a universal experience across Computers, Mobiles, Cars & Smart home devices.

Programmers who are working on mobile app development and flutter app development would find them useful and interesting.

  • Web: Flutter app development gets enhanced web support in the new release. So now the web is just another target device that the Developers/Programmers don’t need to worry about. Web-specific features like Link Widget ensures that any app running in a browser feels like a web app.
  • Portability without surprise: With compilers that generate high-performance Intel and ARM machine code for mobile and desktop, as well as tightly optimized Javascript output for the web. The same Flutter framework source code compiles to all these targets.
  • Dart: Dart can be seen as a backbone to the multi-platform compatibility of flutter. Dart is Google’s programming language wonderfully optimized for multi-function development. No other language can combine the multi-function capability as Dart does.
  • List View Function: Great things like the change in method to Reorder list views has increased the convenience of developers. The function so far required a long press + drag method to move items. The long-press function is popular in mobile users but not used when the same person uses a computer. The flutter two has now a grab handle for flutter app development programmers.

  • Themeable Scrollbar: With the help of ScrollbarTheme Class it is all the easier to style your scrollbar to match the style and aesthetics of your app design giving a whole new design tool to mobile app development projects.
  • New widgets: Mobile app development teams are enthusiastic to use the new two widgets that come with Flutter two. The first widget is ScaffoldMessenger which makes Scaffold transitions better by assisting the easy creation of SnackBar. Another widget is Autocomplete which allows auto-complete in native apps created using Flutter.
  • Add-to-app: A developer may have created an app for Android, but the same native code may not be reusable on the iOS platform. With flutter’s add-to-app feature, reusing the same code to the second platform is now a reality. Flutter has the ability to reuse the same code for iOS as well as Android mobile apps. Hence, the app-to-app feature will greatly benefit Mobile app developers.
