Flutter Vs React Native Vs Xamarin For Cross Platform Development by Firestarter(f): 1:16pm On Dec 11, 2018 |
Don't sure which framework is right for you? In this article, we investigate the current state of things for the more popular iOS and Android cross-platform frameworks Hope this article will help you make the right decision as per your business requirements. https://steelkiwi.com/blog/flutter-vs-react-native-vs-xamarin-for-cross-platform-development/ |

trytillmake: Functionality is limited compared to pure os, combining multiple technologies to immitate mobile experience, is error prone, most of these errrors yhu cant catch at debugging time,cause each individual os is different from the other. In case of android each OS version is built either on the failure of the past os, or as an improvement on the past OS version, hybrid apps can not account for those chances or improvement since most hybrid technologies are based on web technologies, if a user upgrades his / her OS version, your hybrid app might not respond well. As a developer you'd sleep well at night, building pure OS apps. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I just want to point out some things here. As a flutter advocate, I might be a little bias with my arguement. As for me, if you're to choose between a cross platform tool then flutter is your best bet. Asides the fact that flutter can and has been used in creating high quality apps targeted towards so many users, you can also build these apps in record time - for iOS and android. Some might argue that there are some native functionalities that you cannot embed. However it's worthy to note that you can write native platform code in your flutter app, so if there's a functionality you can't get to implement in flutter, you can box in your java or swift code right there in your flutter app! Another set of people say the apk size after build is quite high but I can assure that the apk sizes since its inception has been reducing considerably. An app I and my partner has been working on has over 36 pages and over 85 .dart files has about 30.5mb for apk size. I suppose is higher than that of RN and Xamarin but still not close to the native apps itself but with the flutter team continuously working on flutter, we should see even more greater reductions as we've seen as newer SDK versions are released. Mehn, have you seen flutter animations?! You need to check that out, I'd probably spend a whole month immersing myself in it. You can create high quality animations in little time, real little time. Here's where flutter kills java for native code, just like in web development, you can debug your android apps live, use a feature called hot reload and see your changes in LESS than 1 second. You just see yourself coding and coding and coding without knowing how many hours has gone. Kudos to google for that. Does it work that way in xamarin or RN or native java? Kindly help clarify. Finally, there's an article which I'm too lazy to look for right now of how a CEO had to switch from ionic to flutter due to performance issues, the title of the medium article is "How flutter saved our startup". Hamilton music also used flutter to build an app (I'm not too sure what the app is about but you sure can expect a lot of users are using the app). Then google also uses it in its google admob. It has a lot of support already compared to "other cross platform" tools. Flutter is not an hybrid app, head on to flutter.io to get started today, also refer to my first line opener once again. cc chalantmike , crunchyDope, Firestarter 7 Likes 1 Share |

Flutter is awesome for building cross platform apps. The development experience is second to non I have seen, performance is also very good. First tried it in January and had never looked back. 2 Likes |

Olalekank: I would give it a try coming from google, should be worth it, I think it works the same way other way other hybrid ide works, cause I can see syntax of html, javascript / typescript all over the place, I pray its not in kotlin. Maybe flutter can account for the loopholes in other hybrid technologies, coming from google we expect thehbest. So imma try it for a week if its as good as yhu say, i would do the switch, to flutter. One problem I can anticipate is flutter is relatively new , so most of its debug errors might not have a solution out there or someone is just yet to post it. Lets hope for the best. 1 Like |

I am a native developer, both android and IOS, with objective c / swift for ios and java for android. I have given many of the hybrid techs a shot but dont like them, however, FLUTTER is an EXCEPTION. I have not used it for big projects yet, but so far, I think it is the best in town. 4 Likes 1 Share |

[quote author=DAPMAN601 post=74590428][/quote] Not to argue or something, flutter coming from Google is huge, I have been following and I think it beats other hybrid technologies, but let me inform yhu that the hot reload feature was first implemented I think in angular, if yhur a web developer, yhu can install live server, to get that debugging your code in real time, chrome also has extension. My point here is its not a new feature, the android version of that feature is Apply changes. Flutter has been suggested to be good for creating MVP apps, what that means is a minimum viable product, type of app, as a working prototype, when it come to heavy duty apps, flutter is not recommended, yhu can do the research, it relatively new but amazing. Always remember yhu use the right tool for the job, that yhu know yhu can solve any issues that comes up in the future, android is well ahead in this area and in terms of scalability. And yes I too am gonna make to switch production switch to flutter in time, right now am just playing around with it. 1 Like |

micodon: Mr man , both terms are interchangeable, difference between both terms is just hybrid is mostly specific to mobile and cross platform covers a wider range of technologies than hybrid , cross platform most likely refers to software, if I say a software is cross platform, ttha is can work on mùltiply platforms, I can as well say it a hybrid software, its just semantics. Technologies that can be used to build hybrid apps is limited and mostly web based cause it is the one technology all platforms atleast most have in common. A language like python covers more platforms than any other language, I think. The word platform refers to the operating system itself. Hybrids are built to imitate. |

Bro, @Nicodon is right. Hybrid and cross-platform are not interchangeable or synonymous. In fact, they are two different concepts, not sitting on the same face of the technological world. Cross-platform means it has the ability to work across different OS platforms, like Android and ios, in the case of mobile, or Windows, Linux and Mac, in the case of Web. However, on the other hand, when you say hybrid, it means it doesn't work with full functionality. The opposite of hybrid is native. When a mobile app is a native app, it means it has the capacity and is built with the functionality to work with the hardware components of a mobile device, like WiFi, camera, fingerprint, etc. A hybrid app cannot work or isn't built with the capability to work with most hardware components of a device. micodon: 3 Likes |

You r right and one should strive to be more accurate in his choice of descriptive terms but sometimes its just semantics the meaning can b inferred from the context. Hybrid can b likened to an artificial limb. It does most of what a flesh limb can do but it's not natively grown. People arent born with artificial limbs. The artificial limb can grab nd hold n throw but may not feel sensation like heat cold pain etc since it isnt conncted to the clients nervous system. It's a mechanical aid. This way it differs from a flesh nd bone limb. Even if it could it wouldnt b blood operated,cant regrow or sweat. Cross platform can b likened to a multi lingual person. Because he can speak many languages he can communicate in different environmnts. He can cope where a monolingual person would need an interpreter to survive. But being a non-native speaker his accent may still come off as not quite it yet. His rapidity may b slower. He may not understand deep nuanced talk tht a native born speaker may get. But in d mobile space the terms r interchangeable cuz hybrid tools are designed to b cross platform. All trending hybrid languages r cross platform. @Dthinkerman chalantmike micodon |
