React Native is a powerful framework that?s been in the spotlight for a long time now with its continued success in developing apps for Apple and Android devices. Flutter is a relatively new development tool that is a Google project. It was introduced in 2017 and since then has taken off fast, catching up to React Native.
Flutter offers reactive programming, which means that you can simply change one line of code and see the change take effect immediately without having to recompile the app. Due to this feature, developers find it easier to work with Flutter than React Native.
What is React Native? Basic info
React native is a JavaScript framework that allows developers to build native mobile apps for iOS and Android with the same code.
It uses the same design as React, which makes it easy to use and maintainable. It is compatible with most of the popular web development tools like Babel and Webpack and can be used for cross-platform app development.
Why we love React Native?
React Native is a library that is used for developing cross-platform mobile apps with React. React Native bridges the gap between various platforms and their respective languages. This framework can also be used to develop both iOS and Android applications.
It?s worth noting that the mobile app development process with React Native is a lot faster than Xcode or Java because of its use of JavaScript for coding.
Possible issues with React Native:
React Native is a cross-platform framework for building native mobile applications. The framework takes a different approach to the use of a view hierarchy, which is the foundation of the application.
One of the main problems that React Native has faced in its early release stage is that it doesn’t have a native look and feel. Developers have to use custom components for making their apps look more like they are Android or iOS applications. However, this problem has been fixed with newer versions of the framework.
Another problem with React Native is that it can’t be used on either Windows or MacOS computers, so developers have to deploy their apps on devices to test them which can be tough work depending on what kind of device they’re testing on.
What is Flutter? Basic info:
Flutter is Google’s open-source SDK for developing mobile apps.
Flutter offers a new way to think about building apps that deliver high-quality experiences across different devices. Flutter is Google?s new open-source software tool for creating cross-platform applications, with the same codebase running on both Android and iOS. It is currently in beta release.
The Flutter toolkit includes sets of UI widgets, layouts, and themes to create the look of each platform; it also provides integration with native platform services (such as geolocation on iOS or shared preferences on Android).
What Flutter has to offer?
Flutter is a new mobile app SDK for building high-quality, fast mobile apps. It is a complete solution for crafting high-quality user interfaces that run on iOS and Android.
Flutter is not limited to developing apps for the mobile platform only. It can be used to develop iOS, Android and Web apps as well. The UI rendering engine of Flutter is written in C/C++ and the API bindings are in Dart, a systems programming language with a focus on ease of use and expressiveness.
The execution speed of Flutter is really fast compared to most other app SDKs available today. With its own graphics engine, it also allows developers to create high-quality animations easily without sacrificing design quality or execution speed.
Supported platforms: Windows, macOS as well as Linux
Possible issues with Flutter:
Flutter is a mobile app SDK, a framework. It was created by Google and it has been used for Android and iOS apps. However, the stability of the framework has been debated over time because it lacks stability. In addition, there are fewer libraries for this framework as compared to other frameworks which can negatively affect the development process for an app.
Flutter is a powerful tool for building mobile apps with a lot of potentials to grow but it needs more time to mature before it becomes an integral part of the development process.
