Flutter makes it easy of it’s underlying support you can just concentrate on the topic i.e., the concept of your app rather than thinking of how the platform works with it.

Generally as a developer it’s a key advantage to go with flutter making your idea work on all the platforms without learning any additional programming courses.

Of course flutter takes care of 95% of help with other platforms the remaining work of deploying according to the platforms needs to be taken care anyway in their own style.

How to Upgrade ???

Start with the command flutter — version where you can find the details regarding the existing version of flutter and from there you can have a basic idea of you exiting version.

Run flutter doctor and check for any issues and try to fix them and going ahead may need these fixes for sure for better results

Then here comes the flutter upgrade which will search and update the flutter SDK & dart to the latest versions available

Downgrade !!! possible ???

Yes if you are not quite satisfied with the flutter latest version you can downgrade it back to the previous version with the help of flutter downgrade.

As of now few library’s don’t support the concept of null safety so check the compatibility issues before going further
