- darren_ 4y agoThis link says absolutely nothing about Flutter usage. It's about apps that are already written in native iOS code, which are currently using custom Material Design components (which are mostly/entirely in obj-c), and that going forward those custom Material components are going to be phased out and apps will use standard UIKit elements instead. This tells you absolutely nothing about Google's commitment to flutter.
- scarface74 4y agoSo it says nothing about using Flutter even though the entire purpose of Flutter is to write cross platform apps and Google is moving toward not writing cross platform apps and are using standard UIKit components. They also aren’t using Dart and are using Objective C. But that doesn’t mean they are moving away from Flutter for first party apps?
- Apocryphon 4y agoThey aren't moving away because these Google apps weren't using Flutter in the first place. The only ones that were are like, Google Pay and Google Classroom. https://flutter.dev/showcase/google-pay https://flutter.dev/showcase/google-pay https://flutter.dev/showcase/google-classroom https://flutter.dev/showcase/google-classroom
- scarface74 4y agoIs that really the argument you want to make? That Google doesn’t even dog food their own products for their most popular apps?
- Apocryphon 4y agoI'm not making any arguments, just stating facts.
