Specialized teams don’t scale.

For businesses that believe in:

• autonomous, agile, cross-functional teams,
• working together from Inception to Production, and
• being responsible for the quality, and evolution of their products,

It is often seen that single teams develop features end-to-end and deliver more value, faster.

This calls for embracing different hybrid digital solutions, which in our case is the need for hybrid app building platforms like Flutter by Google or React Native by Facebook.

Flutter is a UI toolkit for building natively compiled applications on Mobile, Desktop, or Web, that too from a single codebase. It eliminates the wasteful process of writing the same feature twice, only in different languages and platforms (iOS/Android).

Execute Your MVP Strategy With Flutter-Based Application Development

Minimum Viable Product (MVP) strategy is the quickest and most utilized approach by modern startups, medium-sized companies around the world to validate their business idea. It also holds a massive prominence in the app-building market.

The whole idea behind MVP is simple; it looks to create a minimal version of an application and share it among a pool of users. Further, the entire application is built by gauging their responses and user feedback.

Instagram, Airbnb, Dropbox, Uber developed their products with MVP first.

Flutter fits in well with the entire MVP scheme of things. It allows businesses to develop one code solution for Web, Mobile & IOT via seamless API integration. Moreover, it provides:

• Ready-made designs that attract investors: Flutter supports widgets that are accessible and allows the developers to customize the widgets to fit their design needs.
• Accelerated app development process: Thanks to the Hot Reload feature, it makes it much easier to view the changes made in the app simultaneously.
• Creating cost-effective applications: Flutter offers a single codebase for app development on Android and iOS platforms, thereby saving a considerable amount of resources.

At this point, we find it noteworthy to present an overview of the study conducted by Nubank before deciding to use Flutter as their primary technology for cross-platform mobile development.

As a mobile-first Fintech, Nubank was quick to adapt Kotlin for Android, Swift for iOS back in 2013. Later in 2016, they chose the then-leading hybrid solution, React Native for its new product development.

Switch to 2019, the engineering team at Nubank still faced some issues such as:

• High entry barrier: Engineers had to be proficient in different languages to contribute to different products being offered by the company. This prevented their ability to become full-stack developers.
• Staffing nightmare: The company was relying on specialized native platform developers for every new feature or product launch. They were always short of enough developers in a team.

Nubank then chose Flutter for their native app development.

In their internal assessment, Flutter performed exceedingly well on its testing capabilities like built-in testing infrastructure for Unit, Integration, and End-to-End tests without the need for rendering to the screen. In contrast, React Native requires third-party dependencies, which makes it more prone to breaking changes.

App development experience with Flutter was also found to be superior with features such as better hot reload capabilities, robust official documentation, and a more stable API.

A car manufacturing giant like BMW has instilled tremendous confidence in the market with the launch of its new My BMW app which is completely developed using the Flutter architecture. Flutter’s scalable universal architecture will support future requirements, allowing new functions and customer requests to be implemented easily.

The story of Dream 11 as a fantasy sports app in India is inspiring. They are known to have begun with just 3 developers, all having expertise in different technical backgrounds.

With Flutter, the onboarding of developers became simple as they had to create native applications essentially from a single codebase. Eventually, this led to Dream 11 becoming one of the popularly used Android/iOS apps in India in a quick time.

Any seasoned developer will need no introduction to the mentioned online community and forums. However, for the sake of the record, Flutter developers and enthusiasts around the globe are actively expanding their community online on these platforms:

Alternatively, there’s a healthy number of online forums to React Native on GitHub, Stack Overflow, Meetup, and communities on Medium, DevTo, Discord, and prominent other social media platforms.
