Google has launched the beta version of its UI framework Flutter, which is essentially an open-source platform for building native interfaces for Android and iOS platforms. Flutter’s UI library is all equipped to deliver high-on-performance interfacing resources and integration options to allow Android and iOS app developers to go with rapid development working with multi-platform portable UI toolkits.
Offering insights to the occasion, Flutter’s program manager Seth Ladd said, “Flutter comes with native ARM code. This comes as a really helpful option for raging online startups and tech-led ventures that are looking to work on various ideas and drive them with great performing ability on the digital landscape. With Flutter we are aiming to allow users to have all the power to commit to the idea of rapid development besides being able to deliver more organic results by creating UI that offers a natural feel to its users.”
Here are the three most compelling benefits of Flutter as defined by Google:
- High speed approach to development using stateful Hot Reload, which also allows you to have access to extensive widget set, integrated tooling component, besides being able to work with dynamic interface development resources.
- It comes with highly expressive, flexible and scalable set of widgets, expansive animation options and layered architecture, that can be of great help if you are looking to build custom interfaces with exclusive theme and trait preferences.
- Flutter comes with portable GPU-accelerated rendering with high-performance UI attributes that are all streamlined to serve latest interfacing requirements. This comes out to be highly productive as it operates within an interoperable platform offering high-on-performance native ARM code runtime.
Flutter was first launched in May 2017. The event was the company’s I/O developer conference. And this was the Alpha version of the product. So, for those who already have it installed, can get access to its Beta version by just placing a simple command: flutter channel beta.

If you would like to try your hands on Flutter, you can do that using Google’s Dart programming language. With this you will be able to grab a handy idea of how to go about the framework and get ready to work with it before it comes in wholly.
