Flutter

Flutter became a hit in 2019. According to its documentation, Flutter is an open source, multi-platform mobile SDK from Google which can be used to build iOS and Android apps from the same source code. Flutter uses Dart as its programming language which is similar to React Native but supports much better the native features. Dart is a modern object-oriented programming language. It is easy to pick up with your knowledge of any other programming language like JavaScript.
