Why we prefer Flutter as the top choice for developing larger mobile apps

 At Axcito mobile app developments, in few recent projects we opted for Flutter because it is a cross-platform mobile development framework that is open source and was developed by Google. 

It utilizes Dart, which is also developed by Google. What caught our attention about Flutter were its UI widgets that provide a native look and feel, its high-performance cross-platform framework inspired by React, and its fast debugging capabilities with stateful hot reload. Moreover, Flutter offers additional features that we will delve into further.

 Flutter's performance is one of its major advantages due to its utilization of the Dart programming language, known for its speed and efficiency. This enables smooth and swift app performance, even on older devices. Another advantage is the use of widgets in building the user interface, which facilitates quicker and more efficient development. With Flutter's pre-compiled widgets, the app's performance is not impacted by the device's performance.

 Flutter's UI widgets provide a native look and feel, and what sets Flutter apart from most other cross-platform frameworks is that it only interacts with the underlying hardware platform at the canvas level. The canvas is a low-level abstraction of the mobile device's screen, close to the underlying graphics hardware, with fast access. To match Android's Material Guidelines and iOS's Human Interface Guidelines, every onscreen Flutter widget is re-implemented from scratch and rendered down to the individual pixel level. The rendering process is further accelerated by Flutter's exploitation of Graphical Processing Units (GPUs), typically found in newer mobile devices. Unlike Android or iOS widgets, Flutter does not use them; every on-screen element, layout, and styling, including the app, is a widget. Azxcito mobile developers loved that  they can compose widgets inside other widgets to create screens, all the way up to the entire app.

 Developers can create high-performance, expressive, and customizable apps quickly with Flutter and scale them with ease to meet the requirements of large-scale projects.

With Flutter's pre-compiled widgets, the app's performance is not impacted by the device's performance, making it an ideal choice for creating apps that need to run on various devices.

To sum up, Flutter is the most promising cross-platform mobile development framework that caters to both native mobile developers and other developers. Led by a team of ex-Chrome developers at Google who are knowledgeable about rendering, it delivers excellent UX for end-users with its performant rendering and runtime architecture, native look and feel, and high customizability, ideal for a brand-first approach. It also delivers for developers with its super fast debugging using stateful hot reload, easy-to-learn Dart language, and simpler reactive style coding.

We highly recommend considering Flutter for your next app, taking into account the user requirements. At the very least, try out Flutter and check out the sample apps, including the Gallery app. We are glad we tried it with our work, developing multiple apps in Flutter over the past ~10 months, including excellent utility, product distribution, and healthcare apps. Despite the technology's relatively short existence, we have become proficient users!
