The Flutter team at Google has announced the third beta release of Flutter, designed to allow developers to create high-quality native user experiences on iOS and Android.
As a mobile APP developer, if you want to develop an APP for all platforms (including iOS and Android, etc.), the previous operations are often cumbersome. To this end, Google launched the responsive framework Flutter last year, and now the third Beta version is officially launched, providing more adequate preparation for the development of APPs on mobile platforms.
The goal of Flutter is to solve two important problems in mobile: one is to achieve native application performance and integration with the platform, and the other is to provide a multi-platform, portable UI toolkit to support efficient application development.
Designed for both novice and experienced mobile developers, Flutter can help you develop beautiful and successful apps faster. At the same time, Flutter also has the following advantages:
Rapid development with state-preserving Hot Reload, a new responsive framework, rich controls, and integrated development tools
Inspiring and flexible interface design through composable control collections, rich animation library, and layered and extensible architecture
High-quality user experience across devices and platforms with a portable GPU-accelerated rendering engine and high-performance native ARM code runtime
In Flutter Beta 3, the development team has made many improvements to the Material Design widgets for greater flexibility and customization. E.g:
Added a BottomAppBar component
Support for Chips has been greatly improved and expanded
InputDecorator now supports fill/underline and outline modes
FloatingActionButton now offers greater positioning flexibility
Slider can now customize the color and shape of the thumb and value indicators
Additionally, support for animated assets in formats like GIF and WebP has been added to prepare the best meme apps for release to the app store!
