Use Cases Of Flutter and Native

To choose between Flutter and Native we need to consider many different aspects. Below we will have a look into common use cases which will make it easy for us to know what platform we should go for.

Use Cases for Flutter

• Cross-Platform Development is primary requirement: Flutter would be the correct choice if you want to deploy Android and iOS applications with a single code base. It allows developers to write once and run it on multiple platforms.
• Faster Development Cycle: Projects with large size which comes with tight deadlines and frequent iteration than flutter is best choice for this place. Its Hot Reload allows developers to check code changes immediately which makes development faster.
• Resources Availability: Scenario when you want to reduce your resources allocation for platform specific development and reduce overall project cost then flutter is right choice.
• Consistent UI experience: Flutter comes up with a rich set of widget which support cross platform and gives a similar UI look across the platform. In such scenarios flutter is food fit.

Use Cases for Native(Android and iOS)

• Performance Optimisation: In large scale applications like E-commerce, Medical or Banking domain where high performance is priority because of large user engagement than native development is best to go for. Flutter may not give best/expected UI/UX experience in those cases.
• Requirement of platform specific feature: If Apps requirement is mostly platform specific features like BLE, hardware sensors, then native allows seamless integration with accuracy.
• Design guidelines are essential: Applications where following design guidelines are essential or there is a need for pixel perfect design(Material guidelines for Android and Human Interface guidelines for iOS), native would be perfect choice for such applications.
• Resources with expertise in native language: If you have a development team which is well versed in native languages like Kotlin/Java for Android or Swift/Objective C then the preferable platform would be native to receive best results and faster development.

In the world of mobile application development, developers often come across situations where they have to choose the correct platform to build their mobile applications. In such a situation mobile app developers have two choices: either go for a cross-platform option where developers can create Android and iOS applications using a single code base only or choose native development where a separate code base is required for each platform.

For developing applications with native languages developers have to choose platform-specific languages like Java or Kotlin for Android development and Objective C or Swift for iOS applications development, while for developing apps using cross-platform language developers have choices like Flutter, React Native, Xamarin, etc. Whichever platform developer chooses it has its own benefits and drawbacks as well as needs. In this article, we will discuss both approaches for mobile application development – Flutter and Native.

Today in this article we will have a deep look into the Advantages and disadvantages in terms of performance, development cycle, community, etc.
