2 months ago After evaluating Android and Flutter, here are the key points I found in my research:
Android
- Pros: Performance: Native Android apps generally offer better performance as they are optimized for the Android platform. Platform Features: Direct access to Android-specific features and APIs. Community and Documentation: Vast resources, documentation, and a large community which is an important point to consider.
- Cons: Platform Limitation: Development is limited to Android, requiring separate development efforts for iOS.
Flutter (Cross-Platform Development with Dart):
- Pros: Cross-Platform: Single codebase for both Android and iOS. Fast Reload: Speeds up the development process by allowing immediate changes in the app without restarting. UI Consistency: Provides a consistent look across platforms with customizable widgets. Growing Community: Increasing popularity.
- Cons: Performance: While Flutter apps perform well, it sounds like they might not match the performance of native Android apps in more complex scenarios. Learning Curve: Requires learning Dart. Platform-Specific Features: Some platform-specific features may require additional plugins.

Here is an image that brings out some additional points:
Given all the information from my research, I have chosen to proceed with Android after considering all the pros and cons of both Android and Flutter.
This issue aims to evaluate the pros and cons of using Android versus Flutter. The goal is to determine which framework best aligns with my project requirements, considering factors such as development efficiency, platform support, and more.
