A big pro for KMP is that if you ever change your mind and want to go native again, you only have to re-write the iOS app cause the Android one is already native. If you do that with Flutter you have to write two new apps from the ground up.
As a beginner application developer. Why would I need to shift my cross platform app to Native app? Besides Client decision.
React Native crying in the corner.
is it though? Currently RN is the most used cross platform app development library
😂😂😂 they doing RN dirty
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@kiyotaka721 Honestly rn is popular because React is popular among web devs. As soon as a new framework comes as an alternative, react native will become irrelevant
And angular ionic
Im working with flutter,
CMP has a potential tbh, i love the structure of composables comparing to flutter widget its more readable and flexible, can't wait to transition to KMP 🤩
The problem with kmp is you can only share buisness logic but not UI ,in another side with flutter one codebase can be shared in all platforms buisness logic and ui
@@ahmedbathily7013 you can share UI in KMP with Compose Multiplatform it's just that it is still in beta for iOS and alpha for Web
@@ahmedbathily7013you can share ui code using compose multiplatform (CMP), which also uses kotlin
@@ahmedbathily7013 no that's not true, you can share UI with CMP, that's why it has potential you have the option to share UI with CMP or only business Logic.
Ummm...kmp now share ui.
I'm taking the risk and investing in Kotlin and KMP for my career as I'm about to graduate. At worst I think I can transition to native Android. Wish me luck guys.
Good luck!!
I've been using Jetpack Compose MP in a real iOS product and can't say I've seen any real problems or showstoppers. The only annoying thing is how many parts have to be marked as Experimental at the present time.
KMP is the next big thing!
I hope so..and that it stays around for a while.
Next to what, it is unique solution in it's category
Please, for the love of god: do *NOT* assume performance differences without providing real-world benchmarks. For example, JVM-targeted Kotlin is oftentimes faster than Kotlin Native. Also: Flutter does *NOT* use DartVM for production apps, only for debug apps.
So, that means Flutter is better performance?
@@TranMinh-oh5unno just that it's faster in production than development phase
Yes - a good video let down by this part. What's on paper doesn't always translate to real world applications.
Flutter compiles debug builds you're working on as Just In Time which allows you to change state and show the changes in the very next frame so you can iterate quickly as you develop. But that is DEBUG or Development builds ONLY. Production builds are Ahead of Time compiled into binary executables, which are MUCH faster. Please get that right before doing any performance comparison.
Performance differences don't matter nearly as much as people assume, when it comes to mobile apps.
Mobile apps don't do much computations etc. (and if they do, there's something wrong with them).
The overwhelming majority of perceived sluggishness is caused by network traffic and other physical realities which the language or platform has got little to do with.
A much smaller portion of it is caused by layout rendering, which once again is not inherent to the language, and definitely more often with the app being just poorly implemented.
The performance of the VM itself is negligible from user's perspective. Maybe for the start-up time, but even then only marginally.
Congrats
Your videos are constantly getting better and better.
Clearly the number one source for Android on RUclips!
Thank you!!
Video quality has improved, but not content quality
@@azmo_ what can I do to improve that as well? :)
I recently decided to try Kotlin. Having seen how much effort it takes to configure Gradle, I decided to abandon this idea. Until JetBrains implements Amper, I’ll better think about the Flutter + Rust combination (rinf).
3:53 I would note that Kotlin-to-Wasm is also a compilation target, although it's still in alpha. One great thing about it is that it allows to use the same Compose UI for web apps (while you cannot use Compose with Kotlin-JS)
Your channel blew up. I remember your first video! Good to see you again bro.
Philipp, do you have a video that shows a roadmap to go from the old system of Java Android dev to full blown Kotlin and adopting clean architecture with KMP and Compose?
Flutter is to Cross-Platform as Python is to Machine Learning.
Flutter is great, but ig even tauri could be a thing, it's releasing mobile support soon.
Great video! I work with both Jetpack Compose and Flutter, almost 50/50, and have to say I really enjoy Kotlin as a language much more than Dart. UI in Jetpack Compose is also much cleaner, but you eventually get used to Flutter's way as well. For now, I'd still go to Flutter when it comes to cross-platform apps. I feel comfortable with its large community of pub packages, and a wide span of learning resources, but I'm sure that I'll be learning KMP in the near future one it gets more support and a stronger base. This is a great start! 😄
hi
is there something lightweight and effective for jetpack and kmp, something like vscode...
Android studio really heavy?
Flutter apps run in VM only on emulators but while running on physical devices no VM is created.
Sure?
@@TranMinh-oh5un Yes.
@@xybnedasdd2930 I know about AOT. But are you sure that all dart code is compiled in AOT phase? Seems better than ART?
@@TranMinh-oh5un When running Flutter apps on physical devices, no virtual machine (VM) is created. Instead, Flutter uses ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation to compile Dart code to native ARM code, which runs directly on the device's hardware. This allows for high performance and efficiency. In contrast, when running on emulators or simulators during development, Flutter can use a Dart virtual machine (VM) to enable features like hot reload, which speeds up the development process by allowing for quick changes without restarting the app.
It runs in a VM, in a single activity, and in a single thread
And the size is bigger like working with an engine like a game engine 😂
This I believe
I think writing libraries for multiple platforms will be very sweet in KMP. It would be nice to use Compose multiplatform for Android and expand the UI to other platforms when those platforms become stable.
Really cool video Philip !
in my opinion KMP/CMP will take over with time (in the short time, Flutter will definetly not disappear tho) because not only you will have all your androd native devs avaible initially on the market, but also its gonna be very easy to make ur already existing native Android app to be Cross-platform.
And with CMP it seems that its gonna be the "Quick" way to do an MVP (kinda like Flutter or RN) where after your MVP has been succesful you can just easily make the UI native in each platform if you want.
i mean i dont see any Cons tbh
I love Kotlin but there are massive libraries I would need to create from the ground up. This means that Flutter has the edge when special libraries are needed.
Which libraries are you missing in KMP?
@@PhilippLackner check flutter gems, there are not even close to this number of solutions on the kmp.
Google is making big efforts to help KMP right now, they recently made a decent amount of Jetpack libraries multiplatform
@@PhilippLacknerI'd say the Firebase stack is currently pretty lacking. There's some unofficial ones but they're not complete and I've had issues there. They don't support Firebase Cloud Messaging at all, which is a pretty important component.
I'm using Supabase for a personal project though and they support both KMP and Flutter, interestingly :)
Thank you Philipp for another great vid! ... 2:30 not a lot of syntactical sugar ... I love it =)
How to setup a kMM project on arch? ☠️
Is Flutter suitable for making applications that access hardware attached to a PC? Either as a browser/web-app , or as a standalone pc executable?
For example, if the hardware connects via usb or pci (and can be accessed via a 32-bit or 64-bit DLL), how easily (or well documented) would it be for Flutter to call those dll functions? Platform Channels / FFI?
Greetings from Denmark, Philipp, always good to see your videos
React Native/Electron left the chat
do you hear of impller ? this engine solved so many rendering problems and cmp use skia that had so many problems in the past
Am learning a lot from you Phill, thank you
Great perspective, understood everything
I am a native iOS developer and I love KMP cause Kotlin is on the same level as Swift and i can build a native UI vor IOS
why don't you make Flutter development tutorials?
I will dive into kmp 2026. Until that they will change everything 100x
Same thought
For now I'm with flutter but it looks like Google is shifting to kmp I think I'll wait as well
@@user-jchjkitv77896I'm don't think that they're planning to abandon Flutter but they're two different approaches to solve the same problem. One isn't necessarily better than the other.
I think Google adopted KMP and will support Compose Multiplatform because it's much more familiar if you're already developing for Android and many things can be reused, so that lowers the barrier for entry. Personally, I'm likely to stick with Compose Multiplatform.
9:37 Flutter does not run in DartVM in Production/Release builds, they are AOT compiled in Production builds, meaning, they don't need VMs to run. Meaning, performance is near-native, if not native.
They use VM in debug/development mode though.
Right tool for the job. If the project doesn't need fully flushed native capabilities, then Flutter is a great alternative. That being said, you should always try to go Native so that the app can be extensible later.
Philip how to prepare Resume for a kmp developer
current salary is just 600$,I even purchased a 2000$ mac book only for KMP,
Great video as always sir!! Can you make a tutorial for webview oauth with jetpack compose?? I have been trying to figure that out for quite sometime now 😅
is there any posible chance that KMP will support HarmonyOs in the future? the HarmonyOs seem to support Kotlin and few more android language.
Thank you, Philipp
For Compose Multiplatform, it's pretty annoying that we don't have a @Preview that we can use in common code yet. At least not in Android Studio. They do in Fleet but it didn't seem to work for me, not sure why
As a native Android developer, I do think that KMP is the next big thing. I will start checking and learning it soon.
Flutter is occupying less ram as it don't have vm, while in theory should be able to do everything that platform provide. Quite impressive. It is just a 2D game engine with a simplified language, that seems to be very ok for the most task. Bunch of widgets already made. I don't know who needs native crap so hard to awoid Flutter, but it had enough troubles with iOS builds in the past to get a bad reputation. Overall cross platform is for low budget/ low responsibility type of things. And Flutter already has few game engines built ontop of it making it more of an eye candy then anything else. Also you can write server side code with Dart, that mekes knowing it more valuable now.
Isn't Flutter by definition somewhat higher level? Considering for example the single-window limitation? (Workarounds exist, but it's not straight-forward to use.) KMP feels more low-level in that regard. More potential. But more complex. Flutter feels simpler overall. K(MP) feels more versatile overall.
What I find astonishing is the simple build setup and management in Flutter vs the crazy Gradle mess of K(MP). Hoping for Amper to bring some alleviation there.
Now if they would only make Dart a little less annoying.. 😀
After a few weeks with Flutter/Dart, however, I feel like you can iterate crazy fast compared to KMP. Hot reload/restart has it merits. And afaict KMP (for me mostly targeting Android) is not close, yet, in that regard.
The "standard library" is, however, quite annoying, coming from Kotlin... ‾\_('')_/‾
But then there is also Clojure-Dart. Haven't used this yet. But will look at this next. Looks crazy promising. Plus, there seems to be an easy way to use K(MP) in Flutter. Another next thing to look at.
All things considered, when Flutter is a viable option for a task, it's perfectly fine to pick it, right? If you need the versatility of KMP, then Flutter probably isn't an option anyway...
Who will win? IDK. Considering the madness of the JS ecosystem... Probably some mad solution will win for cross-platform, too? 🙃
there is no tutorial about Pre-registration in google play console make a video step by step plz many small scale developer are not knowing about Pre-registration.
I'm native android developer and no moving to KMP ..HOPE THAT I'LL ENJOY
no moving to kmp ? why
hey can you please tell whether I can publish my app on my own like a simple notes app or mini project to just get a job (No plans to earn money or monetize) just to show the recruiter that I can publish app on playstore
You definitely can. You typically just need to make a payment for a developer account when publishing to either app stores. On Google Play I know it's $25. For the Apple store I'm not so sure
Have you already developed the app?
@@yewo.m No I haven't. Asked this questionn just to know is it even worth it or not. Just learnt the basics, yet to build an app, thanks for answering. Are you professional android developer?
@@amnchouhn you can build it, but you need to get 20 testers to publish it.
"just to show the recruiter that I can publish app on playstore"
it takes a few clicks, i don't know why you assume this skill is remarkable in and of itself.
what matters is the code behind it - i want to see your GitHub (or GitLab or whatever).
Hot Reload. I am using it in RN project and its amazing. As initially Android dev I couldnt forget days when I need to wait minutes on really huge projects for each incremental change 😢 Flutter has it as well as I know. Unforunately KMP out of the game here for now seems (
Well, if you use hot reload for UI, then compose previews cover almost everything. And Live Edit will get you covered on Android.
@@_runtimeunfortunately it doesn't work on Compose/Kotlin Multiplatform. Stuff is generally much faster nowadays though as a lot of stuff is cached and doesn't need to be recompiled unless the code in particular files is updated
Flutter apps have options to make ui similar to iOS using Cupertino components and Cupertino scaffold
Nope , dart VM is for only debugging on emulators on real devices flutter compiles to native arm code. I don't know where you got your data from but yh.
You talk about the platform channels as if it were really witchcraft. But in reality it's a very good solution.
KMP is just a layer on top of an existing layer. You still have the JVM dependency as you see when building desktop applications.
And the community contribution in Flutter is very very high.
Thank you so much for this video, Philipp, it was a real good timing, the company that I work for, from time to time, comes back with the "exotic" idea of changing the whole 4 year long native android and iOS apps to flutter because of...I don't know. Looks like they want that for some reason, maybe they think it will reduce costs of anything like that. Basically throw away all the code we've been written, all developers expertises, to change to flutter. Which is a realy weird move, we usually see flutter apps become native, but not the other way around. So I'm having more and more ammunition to talk to them, again. Thank you
Rewriting already created native apps to cross-platform is absurd, as it not only misses, but kind of actively reverts the core benefit of going cross-platform in the first place.
That benefit is that you go faster without having to write the native code : ) But that's already happened in your case, so what the hell, and on the top of that you incur the extra cost of rewriting the stuff, which will inevitably get some of the things wrong, not to mention you've got to support both versions side by side for a while until the Flutter one catches up, which will take longer than your most pessimistic estimation I GUARANTEE.
My advice: google "Things You Should Never Do, Part I" by Joel Spolsky.
It's an awesome read.
It's over 20 years old by now, and as valid today as it was back then, and 20 years before.
Give it to whoever suggests such things.
What is KMP??
KMP is still not stable/production ready. We tried KMP at my company and we gave up after a few POC's. Will it pick up, get adapted widely by companies in the future? That is a Million dollar question and I don't know the answer to that. My Company has moved on to MAUI(Previously Xamarin) by Microsoft for Cross Platform Technology and we have been making great progress with it. As it sits today, my confidence level on KMP is very low and I don't see Companies jumping on the KMP Bandwagon right away. If Companies do not adapt KMP on a large scale, there will not be much jobs and investing time in this technology may not be worth it for any developer.
I wondering what have been arguments for Xamarin having RN and Flutter nearby?
@@ivasuktelesuk100 RN is completely Javascript based framework, it does not have AOT(Ahead of Time) compilation and you cannot run javascript directly on iOS, you will need some sort of a plugin. The biggest drawback with Flutter is, developers have to learn Dart, as Dart is the underlying language used. It is very tough to find developers who are willing to learn/invest in Dart. Also, with KMP round the corner, there is a strong rumor that google might retire Flutter someday in favor of KMP. Xamarin uses C# as the underlying language and it is pretty easy to find developers having experience in C# and also Microsoft has a huge developer community support.
It depends per country, tbh both MAUI and KMP are rare, KMP being rarer because it's still comparatively new compared to MAUI but I think it will catch up. If you have listened to the whole video you would understand lol.
Our company is critically studying KMP to for a while now, I know others too. You cant say or predict anything atm
What about react native?
Hi,
I agree with your point of view, especially with a future of it.
I'm 11 years experienced mobile developer (7 years Android, 4 Flutter, now back to native Android since 3 months). Flutter is really cool framework which really works, has the best way of state management via for example BLoC solution. Main problem for all cross-platform frameworks are developers from totally different environments. iOS devs, like you said, they are really suspicious for anything outside from Apple. We had few iOS devs in my Flutter team, but all of them or almost all changed project to native iOS. So I don't believe that in a future KMP or Flutter will be so popular to change iOS native developers to any cross-platform solution.
Another problem of Flutter/ReactNative is that developers can know framework, but do not know mobile platform on which they are developing. So still native devs are needed to solve some OS specific problems.
KMP, however, requires native developers to write the UI parts of the application, which Flutter does not require.
Thank you for this video :)
amazing experience, Why did you decide back to native Android?
@@AdeIskandar-lx4rn Thank you :) My Flutter project has been moved to client side and no Flutter projects/jobs in Poland for Senior Dev. More offers for native Android.
@@mateuszd7586 what do those Flutter widgets bring to the table that Jetpack Compose doesn't provide? (as you praise Flutter for "the best way of state management via for example BLoC solution").
honest question, i've never done much in Flutter.
the framework itself seems nice, but i wouldn't give up Kotlin for Dart unless i'd have a gun to my head, and even then i'd be like "how do i know it's actually loaded?"
if you explain with some visual edits, its will really help me to understand very easily
But it is still easier to write in flutter when someone doesn't work in Apple environment
If you have experience with Flutter or React Native, it will be a great asset in the future. Many existing Flutter and React Native apps will need ongoing maintenance and support. While KMP/CMP might be the next big thing in the mobile development industry, it's important to think positively: Flutter and React Native developers will still be in high demand.
If now to anything else then also flutter will win ❤against KMP because of its massive community which outnumber all others be it react native or anything else.
This massive ecosystem of platform specific and number of quality and good open source libraries are not provided with anything other than flutter, keep this is mind also.
And just consider Rust, Go, Java are all more perforant that JavaScript but it's still more wildey used, for web development than any others.
Aaah shit, here we go again, another framework to choose from.
make a video about Pre-registration in google play console step by step plz there is no tutorial
Ease of development will win. Which one is easier and comprehensive without having to channel with native code? And also, how quick the platform development team is to implement features. For example , Flutter can't handle Content URI at present on its own. I put in a feature request on content uri and there was some work in progress by flutter team on it. But its been in limbo for the last month or so.
What's content Uri?
@@fernando_s97Its the standard way of handling file paths now where indirect addresses in the format Content:// are generated by OS instead of direct File:// paths. Idea is to avoid direct access to files and not let the actual address of the file be known.
is that a topic related with dynamic links?
If ease of use won, every app would be in PhoneGap
Define "win"
I'm using flutter in recent two years, it's great. Now im trying kmp because Kotlin is more powerful than dart3 and i need to learn some android native for flutter side. So kmp is another choice.
I only do these in side projects, flutter and kmp they are absolutely enjoyable.
Thanks for your video!
I think market is down for native android development. All the clients want multi platform and they choose flutter. So in india native developers should learn flutter for carrier safety.
I think KMP's future will be very bright, while i'm not so sure about flutter's. I think the target audience of these frameworks differs quite a lot. I think KMP is more suited for native developers trying to write cross-platform apps because they can use their skills and knowledge from the native platform. Flutter and React Native in my opinion are more geared towards the general developers and web developers trying to write apps, therefore they have a higher level of abstraction. I think both approaches are good, but KMP feels like a breeze of fresh air after trying flutter, because from my experience you lose a lot of control using flutter
That’s is literally the opposite as flutter rather gives all the flexibility you need and flutter compared to KMP/CMP is growing really fast and doesn’t seem to slow down cause the tech is great and does not need the backing of Google
@@TahiruAgbanwa you have flexibility with flutter, absolutely. Since it's basically a canvas you can do whatever you want and for a lot of apps that's awesome. But that's also the problem when building apps that try to resemble parts of the native platform. The higher level of abstraction hurts there (iOS rendering was broken for years til Impeller, and don't get me started on Flutter for Web) and some things you simply cannot fix from that high up on the abstraction ladder. Flutter's growth is really strong, but comparing that to KMP doesn't really make sense considering how long Flutter is on the market already. And KMP is also growing rapidly and can partly rely on the Kotlin ecosystem.
Hey, I know flutter but I'm thinking to shift to native android development.
What are the market trends as of now,how do i start?
no matter how many times you say it's a personal opinion, flutter cult will just do their thing. Which makes me say communities are a big factor that people should consider when deciding to get into a tech.
Could you make more build a full app tutorials
The old ones seem too diffrent/outdated
check your mic setup, sound is muffled
Yeah, it didn't get less confusing. Looks more like widgets unification sucks with compose and probably will walk the full rode of Flutter issues before will become usable. And KMP is usable already, but doesn't shine enough for a studio to get rid of platform specific developers to adopt it. Shared code could come with a dll + server side, and KMP doesn't makes UI development easier. The only benefit it may have is easing up the Android development madness as it is, but I am guessing.
How tofind the remote jobs
Last WASM update for flutter web and impeller for android are a painful call for me to abandon Js Frameworks and html
I feel that in a near future all will lean into WASM and some universal WASM UI Renderer.
I think so too. We have an app online build in flutter for web site with html&Js rendering manually disabled and it works. But, of course, there is one huge downside at the moment: Google SEO only supports HTML websites for their index. Without options to support SEO, any technology besides html and JS will not run on main pages, only on sub level of the front-end. That's a shame.
In terms of performance and development time, Flutter to me is the best 🤷♂️. Hot reload, Hot restart. Brings speed ✨️.
How about Tauri?
Very interesting topic
Very interesting video
It was observed that implementation of nested composables has given performance drop...
You don't say.
Is there any UI engine where the performance doesn't degrade once layout complexity (such as nesting) increases?
what about react native? in my company there's more demand of RN than flutter.
I have been using Kotlin since 2017, but Dart is a nicer language to code in. I like composables more than widgets though.
Why do you think so. Dart is not very good for functional programming and don’t has data classes
@@programmieren3197 I think Dart is just more intuitive and more concise (not always, but most times). It doesn't give you decision fatigue because it doesn't have as many keywords and "syntactical sugar" ways of doing things.
It has a very consistent style that makes it easy to jump into someone else's code and there is not as much of a learning curve as with Kotlin. If you know Java/Javascript/C# it's relatively easy to learn Dart compared to learning Kotlin. Things like making http requests and parsing JSON are relatively trivial in Dart. And don't even get me started on how easy it is to use pub vs using gradle.
As for functional programming, I'm not sure what you mean by it's not very good for functional programming. Could you please explain further?
As for data classes, you can achieve the same behaviour in Dart by using Equatable.
Edit: You can also achieve "data classes" in Dart by using Freezed.
@@programmieren3197 Idk what happened to my original reply, but you can use Freezed or Equatable in Dart to achieve the same behaviour as data classes
I agree, I like dart more than kotlin (and I've been using kotlin since it was in beta). I also think Flutter widgets are better than composables.
@@gorudonu The biggest benefit for me with widgets is that they are actual classes that you can extend, unlike composables. I just find it easier to do what I want using composables for the most part. Like making custom dropdown menus for example.
Flutter has the added advantage of building for web, which is stable
Kemp to and better cause u can use HTMl and CSS if you want
Only for personal projects, not for business because you can't use SEO in a flutter web 😅😅
@jeanpierresaldivar8388 True, but you can use a blog, etc, to attract traffic to your page, depending on your needs. If KMP is able to solve this in future iterations, it will be great.
Did you realize that codepush, there is no mature solution, besides a shared UI the next problem will be codepush, to this day there is no native mobile solution, we only have web
KMP is bound to the abilities of the JVM, which e.g. means no sound null safety. KMP is bound to Skia rendering whereas Flutter will get it's own optimize (much better) Impeller engine. For Web Flutter will soon compile to WebAssembly. Flutter's aggressive composition lead to much better reusability of GUI components compared to Compose. KMP has no macros. And so on... But the biggest problem for Kotlin in general is that it is "only" an improved version of Java. And it's success is made by Googles need to leave Java. But Oracle is not stupid. Java will catch up syntactically and will also have features that are better than in Kotlin (see pattern matching). That means Kotlin will have a hard time spreading beyond Android and could easily even be replaced by Java on Android again some time in the future.
This is really biased, Google only cooperates with Jetbrains because google owns android and would surely like to have control over the native android framework and not because they believe anything about the future being kotlin or anything related. Google adopted flutter for fuschia because they built the os from ground up and would use their own tech for it but android is a whole other thing, it was bought by Google because they wanted to control its native development kit hence cooperation with the developers of the android development tool (jetbrains).
I'm on team KMP. But this video seems so off the cuff to me.
Feel it's a bit biased 🤷♂️
The fact I'll be not treated as a first class user of Kotlin/KMP because I use VSCode, Vim etc and not any Jetbrains IDE is already a huge setback.
Flutter can be used in any editor, provides the best Developer experience. And HMR? I don't think KMP has that (no preview doesn't count).
So as a developer I would choose Flutter over KMP just becuase Jetbrains would never let their best framework to be used in some other IDE/code editor. If they stop doing that I think a lot of people outside of native android developement will consider KMP. Jetbrains IDE/Android studio is the first reason why I never went down the native path, personally.
Comparing without React Native is not complete tbh, as on itself RN feels more native for the end user, and React has some cool improvements with the latest update
React Native is trash🙃
Hi @philipp lackner, as you know there is lack of resources to learn kmp in the internet in General, can you give me Websites or any place to learn more and more about how to use kmp?
Thanks in Advance.
I'm onto it, just follow here and more will come soon :D
@@PhilippLackner
But Please I want vedio about kmp and Cmp every day 😂❤️
And there is Klutter for the best of 2 worlds
Klutter, nice one : ) and that's an actual plugin! one of the best names ever
Exactly, I can't trust Flutter because Google can stop funding it at ANYTIME
Google supports kotlin multiplatform more since all they want is to fix android so that it can compete with iOS.
They thought they will use flutter to build Fuchsia that runs android apps in the system…. They clearly don’t want to build a new operating system using Flutter and Dart, which is understandable.
But Dart, being a new language that needs adoption by devs is also a very well designed language. The framework architecture, gaining performance of native apps even not being truly native seems more smarter to me than tying to present mobile systems.
Future visionOS like systems will come, and flutter will be easier to run on them in its own VM.
I hope Google sees that and will not stop funding.
Bro totally ignored react native
Why Google supports KMP? Not necessary because they see more future in KMP. It's just not putting all your eggs in a single basket. Probably they don't have the slightest idea if Flutter will win over KMP, so better to be in a position that you'll benefit whatever happens.
I hate to say this, but it all comes down to financials/business adoption. If companies will not hire/pay developers to use KMP then Flutter will continue. Google's adoption of it and the seamless transition from an Android developer being able to build out to two or more platforms using minimal extra for platform native should help its expansion.
If you initialize the state in the carousel that should not be an issue
@@PhilippLackner I'll have to check that out. If you have a video, it looks like I've missed it. Also I wanted to ask about your thoughts on an updated KMP premium video with some of the newer features. I loved the other one on the Translate app and was curious if you were going to wait for a true release before another one or not.
I'm currently building a game in it!
@@TimKaragosian I'll definitely make another course once Compose MP is stable for iOS. I'm just always a bit careful making long courses on non-stable technologies, since it's close to impossible to update a whole course when the main technology its about changes. Every video possibly relies on that, so I want to be sure that the foundation doesn't change in its core.
KMP
Kotlin is like... I'm gonna kill the rest of you trying to do front end with Compose for Web. Then I'm going to take you apart on the backend using KTOR, and I'm not even talking about how many Spring libs I will take over. Kotlin will be king in the future.
Flutter is just loads of libraries if one of the library's production stops we have to find another it is so annoying. I love my android studio + kotlin 😂 forever
Is it possible there are logical errors in you argumentantion about performance? "KMP is better because it shares the same memory space and call stack as the plattform ...." - haven't you sad before that KMP runs in a JVM, also on desktop (optional, but what is the default)? Are JVMs really native? How do JVMs communicate with the host without converting anything?
Also there is a logic error in google giving up flutter: it would hurt them because multiple apps use flutter. Of course, its not that difficult for google to rewrite an app from scratch, but there would be some pain.
Jetbrains would not give up kotlin native if there financial situation changes is also hopeful thinking.
I'm not a than of biased comparison, especially if the 'facts' are not on very very solid bases. There was, like others sad, a bit much personal preference.
Comparing KMP to Flutter without compose?!? Flutter IS the couterpart of Compose! Flutter is for Dart what Compose is for Kotlin! So you can't compare KMP to Flutter.
Google fired the Dart Team and embraced KMP. I think it's obvious
That's not true at all.
Bro 😂😂, u need to work on ur research skills. Don't just say what you heard, ur a developer for a reason🤦♂️
Python dev teams were also fired
U said embraced 😂, they're supporting. It's all for the monopoly and credit in supporting 2 bright technologies that would be widely demanded over time
True, Flutter is much better but ironically RN is the most widely adopted.
I thought kmp never exists thats why i learn flutter first
What about dotnet MAUI ?
It's even younger than KMP. Plus many companies don't even care about developing/porting plugins for anything but Flutter, React Native, Swift, Kotlin/Java.
@@eugeneturenko3946 it is and it isn't, because MAUI didn't appear out of nowhere, it's essentially a modernized version of Xamarin, and Xamarin has a pretty long history behind it
Obviously flutter if we can't code for iOS independently
