Flutter is a technology that is currently causing a stir in mobile development. It has become more often chosen for creating new applications, and some developers rewrite even old applications in Flutter, in fact, for no apparent reason.
I spent several months with Flutter on a production project, and I want to share my experience comparing it to React-Native, with which I have quite a lot of experience.
I would like to elaborate on what you need to consider if you are moving to a cross-platform native approach and want to understand which is best for you – Flutter or React-Native.
Typically you have 3 mobile app options: a fully native Kotlin / Swift app, a fully web app (PWA or WebView container), and something in between. We call this variant Cross Platform Native because they are not web apps, but Native Apps, which nevertheless take a cross-platform approach.
Both technologies provide similar capabilities, however, using Flutter is a little risky now due to its immaturity, lack of libraries and not yet very large community.
