A look back to Flutter journey…
On December 4, 2018, Google launched its cross-platform development toolkit when React Native was a leader and largely used by developers.
Though react native was there for long, it didn’t solve the cross-platform app development issues. React native didn’t provide close to native performance, lack support for the CLI tools, upgrading and debugging difficulties, slowing down of apps with complex UIs and much more.
Google strategic move to launch Flutter with a number of features surpassed the usability count of React native. Despite Flutter novelty, Flutter earned the position over React Native. Flutter engine has most of the native components in the framework making it the best framework for App development.
