Flutter 3.24 launches with improved graphics performance, including for 3D graphics. It also comes with better support for app development for Apple devices.
Flutter 3.24 has been released. The open-source toolkit gives developers resources to build apps for smartphones and desktops. The maintainer of Flutter is Google, although the toolkit is increasingly useful for Windows and Apple devices.
For the latter, the new version brings improvements through support for Swift Package Manager. This gives developers access to a tool to manage Swift packages, which are reusable and shareable parts of Swift code. The programming language Swift is the standard language for Apple platforms, but the tool also supports Objective-C, Objective-C++, C and C++.
Flutter GPU API
Flutter gets the improvement in graphics performance from the API Flutter GPU, which is now available in preview. Complex graphics and 3D scenes can thus be brought directly into Flutter SDK. Graphic designers must only do that once to bring the designs to different platforms and devices. This gives developers the chance to build complex designs without worrying whether the design can be copied exactly on another platform.
Finally, Dart 3.5 will become available. This is a programming language from Google to build applications for mobile and web with C-syntax.
