If you're into cross-platform development, chances are you've heard of Flutter. Using the Dart language, Flutter is a cross-platform UI framework that aims to make developing for anything from iOS to the web as easy as possible. Yesterday, Google announced the release of Flutter 2.5 and Dart 2.14, and there's a lot that's new.

Google I/O is happening right now, and that means, of course, there's a bunch of new Android development news! If you're reading this post, then that means Google has just (or already) announced Flutter 2.2, a new version of their cross-platform app development framework.

With the release of Flutter 2.0, Google is also bringing Dart 2.12 to stable. In case you didn't know, Dart is the language that Flutter uses. It's a TypeScript-based language but comes with some language feature additions, including the ones I'm about to go over.

Flutter is a cross-platform programming framework, aiming to solve the woes of developing cross-platform apps without the mess of non-native code. With knowledge of the Dart programming language, a developer can build apps for Android, iOS, web, and desktop with a unified UI across all. Flutter 1.9 brought macOS and Catalina support in an alpha state while the v1.12 release matured their support past the pre-alpha state and the v1.17 of Flutter and v2.8 of Dart marked their first stable releases in 2020. Today, Google is releasing a new version of DevTools for Dart and Flutter code, that has been rebuilt from scratch in Flutter and comes with several improvements.

Google has been hard at work creating and expanding Flutter for the past few years. In case you think I'm talking about butterflies, Flutter is a cross-platform programming language. Its goal is to allow you to develop apps for any major platform with a single codebase. All you need to learn is Dart/JavaScript, and you can develop for Android, iOS, web, and desktop. This is no small feat, so it probably won't surprise you when I say that Flutter, until now, has really only supported Android and iOS. Sure, that's a lot of people for a target audience, but it doesn't include everyone. Today, Google is announcing quite a few things, including expanded platform support.

Developing cross-platform apps can be a mess of non-native code, so Google set out to attempt to solve this issue with a unified toolkit that integrates directly with your editor of choice. By integrating directly with Android Studio, or other development environments of your choice, Flutter creates a faster development experience that allows you to unify your UI design across platforms. Now, Google has announced a new stable release of Flutter v1.9 alongside Dart 2.5.

It was just a year ago that Google first announced the Flutter Beta at MWC. Since then, Flutter has grown by leaps and bounds to quickly become arguably the best framework for multi-platform coding across iOS and Android. This year at Google I/O 2019 they are taking it beyond mobile with the launch of Flutter 1.5. It is now possible to develop one application for everything from your Raspberry Pi, to your Google Pixel 3a, to your Pixelbook, all the way up to your custom built PC.
