In Google I/O 2021, it was announced that flutter mobile app development is evolving all the way among various popular companies like BMW, Shein, Tencent, and other new emerging companies using this platform to develop their innovative & adaptive mobile apps. It is also confirmed that more than 2,00,000 mobile apps in Google Play Store & App Store are created by using this flexible Flutter Framework. In order to support mobile app developers and provide an effective user experience google introduced feature-rich Flutter 2.2 at the conference. It is said that this new flutter framework supports easy app monetization, integrates to cloud services and APIs, and increases app performance through various tooling and language features.
Let us look at how features of Flutter 2.2 make this framework more adaptive for mobile application development.
Dart 2.13
Google allows the flutter application developers to use the cloud functions in dart which is a great way to support server-less solutions. It makes flutter app developers work on both backend and frontend which is a beneficial feature. The new version of Dart 2.13 is supports Array and packed structs in FFI and type aliases create a better ecosystem for the flutter developers while developing. It also allows programmers to enjoy docker images as well as Github actions that will help in the cloud-based deployment of business logic. This new Dart version contains a new type of aliases feature. It makes it possible to give short names to long, complicated ones and rename the classes without any break which makes the developers build the app more conveniently.
Performance Enhancement
Flutter team has built the framework using Dart’s split AOT compilation feature that supports android apps to download modules before time resource and code at runtime. These installable splits are called delayed components which can reduce the initial app size and allow users to download the resources and features when required. For iOS, Flutter 2.2 provides new tools to precompile shaders to reduce or remove sluggishness in a user interface. Thus Flutter 2.2 helps mobile app developers to create great user experiences by removing traditional hindrances to reach end-users.
Automatic Screen Scroll
In previous flutter app creations, it does not support the default scrollbar on iOS and Android platforms. Google wants to enhance this feature in the new release so it has come up with better scrollbar behavior for multiple platforms. When a user needs screen scrolling it automatically adds a scrollbar for their convenience. Hence Flutter 2.2 helps coders not to worry about screen scrolling during flutter app development.
Improves Text Handling
Google has released improved flutter that supports areas like text input handling effectively. The new feature of canceling the keystroke in Flutter 2.2 allows it to implement spacebar and arrow keys without considering the scroll events which provides the end-user to experience more interesting and interactive apps. With this new version flutter, users can easily customize the keystrokes associated with text actions. For example, users can send messages using Enter key while they can still enter a new line using Ctrl + Enter. These custom text actions creating various text editing behavior allows both engineers and users have a better experience.
Based on the above features Flutter 2.2 lets enterprises and startups create the most interesting and interactive apps for their market. Flutter 2.2 is a newly enhanced feature-rich Google’s UI toolkit that helps to build natively compiled applications for mobile, web, desktop, and embedded devices from a single codebase.
