It helps that the Flutter and Android teams can talk to each other (they're both part of Google). So atleast for Android, you might be able to expect Android platform features appearing on Flutter in sync'd release cycles.
And in cases where you're using platform-specific feature that Flutter doesn't support yet, then your experience will be no different -- the burden remains on you to write platform-specific code.
It's unclear to me that this is a sticking point.
- jakub_g 8y agoTwo Google teams talking to each other and syncing their agendas and deliveries (or two teams in any big company) is quite a major assumption.
- exacube 8y agoOnly one team needs to sync with another in this scenario. It's also assuming that the Flutter team wouldn't consider do that considering they have that kind of information available to them -- it's in their best interest, after all.
- iainmerrick 8y agoIf only one team needs to sync, how is it any advantage for Flutter and Android to be within the same company? How is the situation any different from Flutter and iOS? I agree with the other commenter -- don’t expect any close cooperation between Flutter and Android because that’s just not how Google (and other huge companies) tends to work.
- pjmlp 8y agoIn fact, so far Android team members have only given political correct answers when asked about Flutter.
