I was considering using Flutter for a simple Android app, but app size is just unreasonably huge, as it includes Dart runtime. Funny enough, the hybrid web app approach, e.g. using CapacitorJS to package web app to apk weighs a lot less, in some cases it might be even smaller than native app (considering it is using androidx dependencies).
Another problem was, that I have to learn whole new language - Dart, which is not used anywhere else.
YMMW, my own experiences should not stop you from trying out a new framework, maybe it will just work for you just fine.
- account-5 4y agoOne of my issues, as a beginner, with attempting to create a cross platform app with web technologies is: what to go for? Where do you start? Cordova, React native, Etc. Which ones are best? Dart/flutter seem to offer everything. Though I have heard there are size issues with the resultant program.
