Sure you will: https://pub.dev/packages/webview_flutter
Great news! But, looking at the iOS implementation, it seems that it severely affects performance. Might work for simple apps (but then again, so does React Native).
How did you come to that conclusion? They use the same Webview classes that RN wraps.
Can someone from the Google team comment on what's going on - https://techcrunch.com/2019/05/07/kotlin-is-now-googles-pref... > Android development will become increasingly Kotlin-first,” Google writes in today’s announcement https://techcrunch.com/2019/05/07/google-launches-jetpack-co... > Google today announced the first preview of Jetpack Compose, a new open-source UI toolkit for Kotlin developers who want to use…
Internal politic wars at Google, with management having popcorns to see who wins at the end. If you are confortable with Qt, JavaFX, Xamarin, there is hardly anything to see with Flutter, plus they are based on programming languages that you actually want to have on your CV, instead of one that was dropped from Chrome and rescued at last minute by AdWords team. Plus, even Fuchsia is not so focused on Flutter anylonge…

I think I'm clearly stating my assumptions. GPL3 and LGPL3 requires you to enable the user to replace the GPL/LGPL3 code on your device with the users own version of said code. It does not matter if you link statically. Now, it would be possible let the user do this and not let it be a problem for your product (in terms of security, reverse engineering, ip theft, etc) but it is more and harder work. I have used both…

And lots of embedded systems are sold to consumers.
In what way was I "completely wrong"? It seems to me you were the one who was wrong and now are grasping at straws...

All good points. But I'm still struggling with the idea of using the word "fast" to describe a technology that brought a 2GHz GPU-accelerated machine to its knees with Scrabble. Perhaps "sucked less than JavaScript"?
Both you and the person you responded to (Crinus) are right. I’ll share some context. On Windows, Flash was fast but on OS X (as it was called then), Flash performance was atrocious. In fact, this was one of the major reasons why Steve Jobs felt compelled to pen his famous “Flash” article [0], because after getting Apple’s engineers to work directly with Adobe’s engineers, they couldn’t quite get Flash to be performa…

If you want to do android development, Kotlin. If you want to do multi platform development, flutter. I think flutter will be an amazing tool for smaller teams, especially in non-tech-primary organisations. I work in the public sector of Denmark, we do in-house development, our main focus is the public services we provide though. So there is just no way we can do mobile, desktop and web without something like Flutter…
I have to correct you. If you want to do android development, Kotlin If you want to do multi platform development, Kotlin multi platform Kotlin mpp is still in beta but it works pretty amazing. I have 1 app in production that shares models/API/database. The UI on Android and iOS is native and platform specific. I highly recommend it.
it's basically like xamarin with C# swapped out with kotlin(and that sucks as much as kotlin mp does right now even after 3 years of ms acquisition time).

I have gigabit internet and the web is still dog slow. It got a good bit faster when I started blocking third party garbage, but it still doesn't feel any faster than it was in the early 2000's, despite that my internet is literally 17,000 times faster and my computer is also tons faster.
This has also been my experience, uBlock origin improved performance on many websites (and also clues me into how many unnecessary connections by analytics and tracking servers are made by so many sites). It is mind boggling to see sometimes 250+ blocked requests on the badge for a news article.

React Native has a JavaScript layer that hurts performance and it is not truly native as they say. Just do a reach on flutter vs react native and you'll see better explanations and comparisons.
I’m not sure this really matters for a lot of things anymore. Sorting a few hundred text items in a list, for example, is going to be so fast on modern smartphones that it will not make much of a difference whether it’s done in JavaScript or native. Maybe a poor example, but I suspect the only times it really makes a difference is significantly computationally expensive tasks
All of this had to be made in a performant way so as to run on phones with 1 gig of ram as the company was giving phones to everyone specifically for just this purpose(and general communication ofc).However it also needed to work on iphones/windows phones(old ones the execs purchased en masse)
Xamarin was the only choice att as react just doesn't work stably on windows phones but i'm excited to see the future

> I tried flutter. The available plugins cannot compete with the cordova or react native plugin system. The "available plugins" are not the right way to compare old frameworks and new ones. Of course a new framework like Flutter will have fewer. But also not everybody needs to use "available plugins", you can do a hell of a lot with just the SDK.
I can only disagree. Flutter is primarily a UI framework. The "functionality" of a mobile application requires access to core features of the mobile platform (e.g. accessing sensors, bluetooth, nfc, contacts, camera, ...). The platform feature access is made available via plugins also when working with flutter. This is the same for RN, Cordova, Xamarin etc. There is no SDK in flutter, Android is the SDK. Flutter has…
i really like the flutter dev community btw, very agile and open to newer ideas for plugins. havent seen this in react(fb controls all and devs usually just talk about js patterns all the time) or xamarin(community is nonexistent at this point, even questions barely get answered unless you post an interesting one on the gitter monitored by core xamarin devs)

Not naysaying you but i learnt kotlin and flutter this past year(from january). flutter has an AMAZING experience for the things that are "done", kotlin multi platform only does one thing well - kotlin. it's basically like xamarin with C# swapped out with kotlin(and that sucks as much as kotlin mp does right now even after 3 years of ms acquisition time).
One benefit of kotlin mpp compared to xmarine is, that kotlin mpp is not limited to iOS/Android. You can have a shared code base between web frontend/Backend/iOS/android and even macos/windows/linux and all native. One language to rule them all.
This is the example flutter app for the web - https://www.nytimes.com/games/prototype/kenken#/ This is flash. You can't do anything in it that fills like the web - no copy paste, right clicking causes things to happen. I don't expect games like this to have links and proper bookmarkable urls, but I doubt it'll work as expected if it did. This is the epitome of the problem with flutter - it re-implements the UI, creat…
