Google Releases Flutter 1.2: What Should You Know

Flutter is an open-source mobile application development framework created by Google. It helps in developing cross-platform applications for Android and IOS platforms. The first version of Flutter was launched in 2015. It was known as “Sky”. Initially, it only supported the Android platform. Soon after its first release, it took over the market as one of the best app developing frameworks.

Since its first launch, Google is constantly working on improving its functionality and performance. Recently in Feb 2019, Google launched the much awaited updated version of Flutter i.e Flutter 1.2. It has come as a great opportunity for the Android App Development company and other app developers for the set of advantages the framework is offering. And, with the new interesting features, it has certainly become the most successful among its rivals.

With the Flutter 1.2, Google has also launched and incorporated the Dart Programming language 2.2 (new version of Dart tools) in the framework to improve its functionality and stability. Due to the launch of Dart 2.2 integrated Flutter 1.2, Google has provided a wide range of mobile app development solutions to different app developers across the globe.
