At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona today, Google launched version 1.2 of Flutter, its open source mobile UI framework that helps developers build native interfaces for Android and iOS. The company also previewed a new web-based suite of programming tools called Dart DevTools to help Flutter developers debug and analyze their apps.
Flutter was first announced as an early alpha at Google’s I/O developers conference in May 2017 and then went through five more previews before its version 1.0 release in December 2018. Meant to compete with frameworks like Facebook’s React Native, the library is designed to combine the performance and platform integrations of native mobile with the rapid development and multi-platform reach of portable UI toolkits. Flutter apps are built using Google’s Dart programming language.
