<b>Flutter's Biggest Problem</b>
TL;DR: Flutter development needs to slow down.Hi! I've been working with Flutter for the past year. In this post, I want to address the most important issue that Flutter is facing and give some realistic advice for people who come to this subreddit to look for the answer to whether if they should use Flutter for their next project.To start this post off, I want to say: I'm just as passionate about Flutter as you are. I love Flutter and the infinite possibilities that it brings. However, as I became more and more dependent upon flutter, my frustration levels really started to increase.I get it. Flutter is a cross-platform framework, which means that it is and always will be a "second-class citizen." There's no free lunch in the world we live in. While Flutter enjoys the benefit of letting the developers create beautiful apps with a single yet elegant code base, it comes with a price. Flutter excels at UI rendering. You can make complex layouts easily with Flutter. But when it comes to anything that is not just drawing stuff on a canvas, Flutter may not be as appealing.As you all know, "Flutter" is only a UI framework. It achieves other natives functionalities via plugins. The Flutter community has been awesome. They have put out plugins and packages that provide 99% of the functionalities what you will probably need. However, it's usually the 1% of the needs that aren't covered hinder you the most, because they require FIRST-PARTY work.Feel free to disagree and post your own opinions here, but I think that the Flutter team really needs to slow down and focus on some more quality control stuff. Flutter has been growing rapidly in the past few years. Web support, desktop support, many many more widgets, material design specs... These are all great things, but I think that it is better, for them long term, to focus on fixing the issues that currently exist in the framework and working on offical plugins that provide crucial functionalities. Let me elaborate:<strong>Fixing Issues:</strong> in every Flutter release annoucement, there is a section about "performance improvements," but the truth is: currently, Flutter animations on iOS devices are extremely janky on first launch. Since the introduction of Flutter's support for Metal, the Skia engine is no longer able to deliver the "Native Performance" as advertised on Flutter's official website. This issue has been present for over 6 months now with no viable fix. The only work-around is to recompile the Flutter engine with Metal disabled and face potential OOM crashes (which are likely to happen). Unfortunately, this is not the only severe issue that the Flutter engine currently has. As more and more apps written in Flutter are entering production, I think it's the number one priority to ensure that they are stable and performant.<strong>1st-party Plugins:</strong> The current status' of the official plugins are really lacking attention from the Flutter team. Plugins like video_player and firebase_admob, are basically incomplete, even broken. You would think that the first-party plugins are the ones that get the most care, but no. Unfortunately, the team has been very slow on fixing and improving these plugins that provide ESSENTIAL functionalities. Just a few days ago they released the news about admob's support for native ads. "Finally!" you might say, but unfortunately, the plugin is in CLOSED BETA, and they "expect to open this up to a broader audience in early 2021." Personally, I'm glad that at lease there is progress being made, but still, Flutter is leaving many developers unable to monetize with native ads. There are other plugins that provide "native ads" with platform views, but this will cause noticibale lag if the platform views are put into scrollable lists. Not ideal at all.So if you are looking to use Flutter for your next project, there are still time for you. When you finish prototyping and making…

Should you edit the path under system variable when installing flutter
i am trying to set a path in environment variables, by editing the path in user variables but instead of showing me the option to add a new one, it is just showing me variable name and variable value, but when i try to edit the path in system variables it shows me the option to add a new path. The problem is that in the tutorial they are not editing the path in the system variables but the one in the user. Should i go ahead and do it? Am trying to follow everything by the word, i still have ptsd from installing android studio

My experiences building and releasing an Android app with Flutter
Quick background: indie dev with app in both iOS and Android (native Swift and Kotlin). Loved Kotlin. Hated Android development. The Android version started to lag behind the iOS app in design and functionality - I just didn’t have enough time to fight against the Android SDK to match the iOS app feature for feature.After bashing my head against the desk after a week of trying to build a slide-up view over a map like in Google Maps (a trivial task in Swift/UiKit) I decided in May to rebuild the Android app in Flutter.Building custom UI in Flutter has been an absolute pleasure. Easier that UIKit, so much easier than Android XML. What a breath of fresh air!Released the update to the Play Store this week. I was a bit worried about crashes appearing but so far none have surfaced. Non-fatal Dart errors are minimal. Positive emails and reviews. A perfect redesign experience!If anybody is thinking about rebuilding their Android app in Flutter - go for it! My app is 50 KLOC and uses external APIs and the Google Maps plugin pretty extensively.Some issues I did encounter:the shared_preferences plugin stores key/value pairs in a different location than the standard Android Shared Preferences. Use native_shared_preferences to migrate old settings over.The official Google Maps plugin is still missing some nice-to-have features like custom views for dynamic markers and animating markers. Small things I’m sure will get addressed eventually.

Flutter on FireOS (Fire Tablets) with Push Notifications
I've developed an app (more for learning than anything) and it runs on my 10th generation FireTablet just fine. After fighting a few days to implement FCM (Googles Firebase Cloud Messaging) for push notifications, which works great in my emulator, I realized that these FCM notifications won't work on FireOS. It looks like I'll have to use ADM (Amazon Device Messaging).I've searched pub.dev for any ADM plugins, but didn't see any.Has anyone gotten either FCM or ADM to work for their flutter apps on FireOS?Any tips or tutorials that helped?​Also for anyone else working on push notifications with FCM this was the most helpful as the rest of the many tutorials, medium posts, and youtube videos are all about doing it the old way which is arguably fraught with bugs. https://pub.dev/packages/firebase_messaging/versions/8.0.0-dev.8/example​Edit: Grammar

XMPP Client Library for Flutter/Dart which also supports Jingle Extension
We are integrating video calling feature in our flutter app. We've setup prosody.im in the EC2 (AWS) AMI, and handling chat and video chat between clients.I've looked over XMPP Stone library for flutter. But it seems they don't support Jingle extension. Is there any flutter based XMPP client library which does support Jingle extension?

So I built this movie application about a month ago. I saw people posting their projects and getting feedbacks on how they can improve it, so I thought I'd post one too. Here is the like for the source code https://github.com/AbePlays/Viewster. I have embedded few screenshots in the Readme file so you can take a look at the UI. Thanks and looking forward for some feedback.

Default data sent to google by a flutter app
hi guys,Just getting started with flutter development and was wondering if there is any data that is sent to google by a flutter app.for example, I build a simple stopwatch app, Is there any data that is sent to google? If so what data is sent? and is there any way to stop it?Secondly, is there any data sent by the flutter development tools? I think we can stop telemetry on the flutter tool but what about the dart SDK, can we stop that? Their website mentions the followingMoreover, Flutter includes the Dart SDK, which may send usage metrics and crash reports to Google.source: https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install/linux
