There is a reason why 1/3 apps in the Apple App Store are now written in Flutter instead.
- moooo99 11mo agoBecause its easier to write one piece to code to target two platforms, regardless of how good or bad the native language for each platform is?
- mdhb 11mo agoIt’s also just nicer to work with in addition to having all of the multi platform stuff taken care of you for free.
- an0malous 11mo agoIs Flutter more popular than React Native now?
- mdhb 11mo agoI think that’s been true for quite some time now
- freedomben 11mo agoNot pulling the "citation needed" thing at all, genuinely curious (from anyone who might know), is that 1/3 number accurate? Is there data published on it anywhere? That feels like monumental news :-D
- mdhb 11mo agohttps://flutter.dev/multi-platform/ios https://flutter.dev/multi-platform/ios It’s actually 28% I just checked but it’s front and centre there if you scroll down.
- freedomben 11mo agomany thanks!
- techpression 11mo ago28% of ”free new apps”, whatever that means, measured by someone who’s not Apple (so lacking the actual numbers).
- mdhb 11mo agoDon’t get mad about it but a lot of people want to work with Flutter because they think is better for any number of reasons. The data is what it is.
- techpression 11mo agoThere are plenty of contradicting data, like the job market for Flutter being close to nil, if it was any relevant 30% of the App Store you would throw a rock and hit five Flutter developers. And nobody’s mad.
